Back to School - Fernley Elementary School
From Principal Chanen Cross

Happy Summer! I hope this finds you relaxing and enjoying summer break.

We have a new website at FES: fes.lyoncsd.org

Please visit our new website for all the latest information about Fernley Elementary.

This year I will have been at FES for four years, and this is my third year as the principal. I love my job and all our students. We have a wonderful staff at FES to support your child. We have a heavy focus on math, reading, and writing in our curriculum. We also have a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Program that every student gets for 40 minutes per week. In addition, our students have weekly counseling sessions, PE classes, and computer classes. Many of our classrooms have one to one devices. We use FOSS kits for Science, Reader’s and Writer’s Workshops for Reading and Writing, and EngageNY Math as our main curriculum materials. We follow the Nevada Academic Content Standards.

We have many fun and exciting events at FES like Monthly Movie Nights, Egg Drop, Field Day, Awards Assemblies, monthly Wolf Café where parents are invited to eat lunch with us, we participate in the STEM Festival, Christmas Concerts, and many more.

We work hard to ensure that every student as FES is growing academically with quarterly Achievement Conferences. At these conferences, I meet with every teacher and we project student data onto a screen in my office, discussing each and every student and how we can better intervene in their growth and achievement. You are always welcome to come discuss your child’s progress and data with me—I collect it all and have it at my fingertips.

Here’s to a great 2016-17 School Year! We are so excited to kick it off!

  • Monday, 8/8 New teacher training at FES

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

 

Mrs. Cross

A dent in the pool slide. 2. A failed breaker. 3. A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
