Fairfield District Employees, I would like to thank all of you, not only for doing your jobs so well, but also for doing your job safely. Because of your attention to detail and for your diligence about being safe, the Fairfield District has received the honor of receiving MSGIA's Excellence in Workplace Safety Award! For those who do not know, MSGIA provides our Building/Liability coverage as well as our Workman's Comp. There are several departments who participate annually in their safety training including maintenance, athletics and others. I know you all get excited and definitely read the email "Safety Reminders" I send out 😉, but even if you just glance through them, I appreciate your attention to some of these items, particularly for trips, slips and falls along with supervision. Thank you for acknowledging the preventative measures we reference in regular staff meetings and for being comfortable bringing potential problems to our attention. The award goes to the school who meets several criteria. We were recognized for almost no claims for 3 years, for the added security measures the school has implemented, the increased effort for supervision and for being ahead in cyber security (including everyone's willingness to use two step authentication). All of this has been documented and we have now been recognized state wide for those efforts... Congratulations! Link to MSGIA Website and Article about Fairfield School: https://www.msgia.org/home

There will be a parent meeting for all students participating in High School wrestling on Tuesday, November 7th at 6:00 pm in the elementary tech room.

FAIRFIELD SCHOOL JUNIOR HIGH PARENT/TEACHER’S CONFERENCES WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST Parents of Jr. High Students Parent-Teacher Conferences are 1:00 P.M. to 6:45 P.M. We feel that the parent-teacher conference can be one of the most effective methods of communication between your child’s teachers and home about pupil progress and problems that arise in the school life of individual children, policies, and programs. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN 7-8 GRADES, NO INDIVIDUAL CONFERENCES WILL BE SCHEDULED WITH THE TEACHERS. THE TEACHERS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PARENTS TO DROP BY THEIR ROOMS.

Just a reminder that Thursday is a 2:30 out. No School Friday.

There will be another 4th and 5th grade tennis clinic today from 4:00 - 5:15. Both boys and girls are welcome to attend and aprticipate.

Due to the weather, the Junior High Tennis meet in Conrad today is cancelled. The football game is still on. Bundle up and wear your rain gear if you're going to go cheer on our Eagle Football team. It's a great day to be an EAGLE!

FYI: Mrs. Bremer is having a tennis clinic for 4th and 5th graders tomorrow (9/18) from 5:15 until 6:30. This is open to any boys or girls in 4th and 5th grade. Looks like it will be a beautiful evening for tennis!

Sorry for the late notice. Mrs. Bremer is hosting some beginning tennis lessons for any students (boys & girls) in 4th and 5th grade. The first session will be today (8/28) from 5:15-6:15 at the tennis courts in the park. No equipment is needed. Be sure the students have non-marking shoes and bring a water bottle. There is a link to a waiver form that all students will need to have filled out before they can participate. Mrs. Bremer will also have paper copies at the courts tonight if you cannot fill one out ahead of time. https://forms.gle/pGsP3HSXwTWZ3CZQ7

Infinite Campus Payment Update: The software issue with Infinite Campus has been fixed. You should be able to make payments through Infinite Campus without problems moving forward. Payments can also still be made in person with cash or check if you would prefer. Thank you for your patience while we got it fixed.

Due to some technical issues with Infinite Campus, we are asking that families NOT use Infinite Campus to make payments for pay-to-play, activity, tickets, or meal plans. There is an issue on their side of it that is making it very difficult to use, and some parents have been charged incorrectly. We will get that all sorted out as soon as possible. In the meantime, please make payments at either the high school or elementary office. We can only accept cash or checks in person at this time. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

High School class registration day is August 17. The schedule is as follows: Seniors 9:00-10:00, Juniors 10:30-12:00, Sophomores 1:00-2:30. Freshmen 2:30-4:00.
