Fairhill Fun Run was a HUGE Success!
Hello Fairhill Families!
What an amazing week we had last week at the Fun Run! The generosity of our community is remarkable, and the smiles of the students and connections with families are priceless. Thank you.
Looking ahead, tomorrow is Bike/Walk/Roll to School Day! Next week, Tuesday, October 10th, is our first Parent Coffee of the year! Please come and join us Tuesday morning as these coffees are another way for us to connect with the community. They are typically geared around a topic of relevance at that time. Next week, we will focus on academics and share where you can find the curriculum our teachers use. We will also discuss what teachers do if a student has already mastered the content they are learning. We hope to see you at Fairhill from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM on October 10th.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback.
Enjoy the student holiday next Monday, October 9!

When a Student Should Stay Home From School
Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your student succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your student stays home if they are sick. Visit FCPS’ website for information on when you should keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their teacher, so that assistance can be provided if needed. Please contact us as soon as you know your child will be absent.
Read more about how families can help form good attendance habits.
