We would love for you to provide feedback on Fairview's field day.

With the likelihood of bad weather tomorrow, we have made a contingency plan for an indoor field day. While we know that this will not be as exciting as an outdoor field day, we have made every effort to make accommodations so that students will have a memorable experience. One of the downsides is that we will not have the space to accommodate guests, therefore parents will not be in attendance. We will send out a message first thing in the morning to announce indoor or outdoor field day.
This will be FUN!!
Dear Fairview Families,
It is with heartfelt gratitude and pride that I share a major milestone in our school’s journey—Fairview has officially raised its school letter grade to a B for the first time in over a decade. This accomplishment is a direct result of the incredible work happening every day within our classrooms, and the unwavering support you provide at home.
Our staff has shown relentless commitment to meeting every child where they are and helping them grow. From early mornings to after-school tutoring, they have poured time, energy, and heart into creating an environment where every student feels seen, supported, and challenged.
Our students, too, have risen to the occasion. They’ve shown resilience, taken ownership of their learning, and embraced the high expectations set before them. Whether it’s improving attendance, making better behavior choices, or pushing through tough reading assignments, their hard work is paying off.
We’ve focused on three clear goals this year:
Decreasing chronic absenteeism
Reducing Category II and III discipline referrals
Increasing literacy rates
Thanks to our united effort—school, home, and community—we’ve made meaningful progress in each area.
As Superintendent Dr. Jackson said, “These results reflect more than just numbers—they reflect the dedication, focus, and heart of our school community. We are proud of the progress we’ve made and energized by the path ahead.”
We celebrate this moment with humility and joy—and with a renewed commitment to keep growing. Thank you for trusting Fairview with your children. We are honored to be part of their journey.
With sincere appreciation,
Bryan McDonald
Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a reminder that ATLAS testing for 3rd–5th grade students will take place this week. It is very important that your child is present every day of testing to ensure they have the best opportunity to show what they’ve learned.
Please help your child do their best by:
Making sure they get a good night’s sleep each night
Ensuring they arrive at school on time and well-rested
Providing encouragement and helping them feel confident
Thank you for your support in making this a successful testing week!
Sincerely,
Mr. McDonald

In an effort to keep our students safe, secure, and dry, we are making a change to our AM car line procedures. Buses will now drop off students at the awning on 17th Street rather than Garland. Generally, buses will complete their drop-offs by 7:15 AM at the latest.
If you arrive during a time when a bus is unloading, please follow all traffic laws and do not pass a bus with its red flashers on.
Afternoon bus pickup will remain on Garland as usual.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a safe and smooth arrival for all students!
Mr. McDonald
Don't forget, Movie Night is tonight around 6:00PM. It will be outside, so dress accordingly!
Our second Book Fair of the year starts this Friday and runs through Parent-Teacher Conferences next Thursday! It's a great chance to grow your child’s home library with exciting new books.
Your child will bring home a preview flyer this week, and you can use eWallet (linked below) to set a spending limit without sending cash! Any leftover balance stays for the next fair.
We can’t wait to see our students' excitement! 📖❤️

I just want to remind everyone that school starts back on Tuesday, January 7. Teachers will have professional development on Monday.
I also want to remind everyone that school starts at 7:45. We begin with small groups/personalized learning time right off the bat. So if your student is missing the first 10 or 15 minutes, they are missing valuable learning time.
Ms. Barker's class enjoyed Special Olympics bowling yesterday 🎳
Due to high likelihood of thunder storms, we are going to postpone our Movie Night scheduled for Friday, November 8. We will look at rescheduling before Christmas Break.
Here is some helpful information for all of our parents.

We are excited to announce that our Scholastic Book Fair will be taking place next week! If you have not already, you will soon be receiving a flyer. This is a wonderful opportunity for students, parents, and staff to explore a wide selection of books and educational materials.
Here are a few important details to keep in mind:
For Students:
-Students with money are welcome to shop any time EXCEPT during their grade levels WIN time. We want to ensure they have the flexibility to visit the Book Fair at times that fit their teachers schedules.
-Students who are shopping during other grade levels WIN time will need a pass. Since there will be a lot of movement in the hall during WIN time, we want to ensure we don't have students "shopping" without permission from their classroom teacher.
For Parents:
Parents are encouraged to come and shop with their children anytime during the school day or during parent-teacher conferences. Lunch time would be a great time to eat with your cuild and ahop at the Book Fair. We hope this will be a great way for families to participate and support our Book Fair.
