Lockers

Greetings, Falcons!

Since our school is on a metamorphosis journey where change is the daily norm, we will be changing a long standing policy at Fairview. Due to construction, we will be losing access to a vast majority of our lockers in this upcoming January, so we will need to prepare our Falcons to be organized and efficient. We will be allowing Backpacks for daily student use on campus (including classrooms), starting Monday, September 23^rd.  All Backpacks must be kept orderly and maintained, and will be inspected weekly through their Homeroom class (just as notebooks have been), but not limited to Homeroom inspection. All Backpacks must be kept out of walkways in the classrooms, and must fit underneath student desks.  Rolling Backpacks and Oversized Backpacks will not be permitted for safety reasons.

Thank you,
Rusty Edwards
Principal

Report Cards will be uploaded to Parent Portal ONLY on October 23rd. If you are not on Parent Portal, please contact your child’s HR teacher and we will send access home through your child. We cannot give those details over the phone. If you would prefer, you can come into the front office and we will be glad to assist you.

Dads Take Your Child To School Day

Dads Take Your Child to School Day is observed annually in September in Florida's schools. The Dads Take Your Child to School Day initiative serves to highlight and support fatherhood engagement in education by helping schools foster this important connection with fathers and father figures. For those Fathers and Father figures who are able to take your child to Fairview the morning of September 25th, please swing by the media center to have your photo taken with your child. Photos will be posted to Facebook and you can download them to keep them as souvenirs. We will open the media center to Fathers and their children from 8:45am – 9:30am. We look forward to seeing you then.
