Families- We need your help!

Dear Fairview Families,

 

The PTA  has partnered with the school for a Heritage Night.  This wonderful event is being planned for Friday, February 23rd but it can't happen without our amazing and diverse communities help.  So far, we have had 8 families sign up. We would love to see as many different heritages represented for all of us to learn from so if you would like to participate please take a moment to fill out the following google form: https://forms.gle/kUGEwNr6QrmSUwb79.  A flyer and paper copy to participate will come home in folders this week as well.  Any questions can be directed to the PTA treasurer, Libby Smith at treasurer@fairviewpta.org.

Heritage Night


Free Covid-19 Rapid Tests

Residential households are eligible to receive free at-home COVID-19 test kits. If an order has not been placed for your address since the program reopened on September 25, you may place two orders now.


Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!

We often notice more empty seats in our classrooms as winter break approaches. This year, let's work together to nurture a rock-solid attendance habit. Every hour of every school day is a unique opportunity for students to learn, connect, and grow. 

A big thank you to:

  • 🌟 Students who show up every day and the parents/caregivers supporting them.
  • 👩‍🏫 Teachers who create a welcoming environment for learning.
  • 👨‍💼 Administrators who provide a safe and engaging place to grow.
  • 👏 Bus drivers, support staff, and volunteers who lend a helping hand to all our learners.

If you or your child need support, please reach out to our school social worker or family liaison. If your child is not feeling well, please refer to the When Should I Keep My Child Home? webpage for guidance. 

There will be no school from Monday, December 18, to Monday, January 1, 2024, for winter break. Classes will resume on Tuesday, January 2
