Lunch Message!

FAIRFIELD STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY... YOU ARE AWESOME!!! It is my pleasure to let you all know that we had 100% attendance in grades 7-12 on the first day of school, via distance learning!! AND, almost every single class had a live session on google meet or ZOOM with great interaction. We did have 2 excused who called last week and a couple little glitches with connections and camera's early, but everyone got in and had class today! We cannot say thank you enough for your outstanding support of the school and our educational plan as we work through this to the best of our ability. Parents and students, you are doing a great job and it is greatly appreciated. We would also like to give 3 Rivers a huge thank you for getting all our students internet access and making this all possible. You have really helped the teachers and our students make this work. Thank you,

Important Announcement... As you know by now, a more formal school day starts on Monday from 8am - 12pm for grades 7-12, BUT, in order for that to happen, all students need to check the following: 1) School email 2) Google Classroom Teachers were asked to start by making contact with every one of their students on Thurs/Friday to make sure students know how they will start scheduled class on Monday. There are many students who have not made any contact with their teachers online and they need to do so right away. Teachers should have left directions for the media platform they will be utilizing to start classes Monday. This is important, because we will be taking attendance every period from 8 to 12 and this DAILY PARTICIPATION will be 30% of their grade for as long as this distance learning situation lasts. School from 8-12 is not optional, it is required attendance the same as a regular school day, just from home. This is a very good structured option and will help ensure successful education is getting done, just in an abbreviated day, which should be easy for students previously committed to an 8:15 to 3:36pm day. PARENTS, YOU WILL NEED TO HELP FACILITATE FROM HOME. Your student's academic success will depend upon your commitment to their education as well. Students need to also be reminded: 1) Attendance will be required 2) All school handbook and policies will still be in place 3) Appropriate dress and behavior will be necessary for video classes: Google Meet and Zoom. *Students will need to 'attend class' from an acceptable place in your home, preferably at a table or desk. Sitting in bed during class will not be productive or appropriate. 4) Acceptable Use Policy: Teachers will be utilizing Hypera which allows them to monitor what you are looking at on your chrome book during class. 5) Quarter Grades and Semester Grades will still require work to be turned in beyond class. The 8-12 day will allow instruction and in some cases a little work time, but some classes will still have work to be done outside of that time... a new definition of home work! It is also important to let you know, that we are preparing for this to potentially last for the entire 4th quarter. We are hoping it does not, but it presently looks like that might be the case. Thank you for your assistance,

Fairfield Community, Parents, and Students, I feel after today we are gaining traction on this situation. I am pleased to announce that every student in grades 4-8 received a chrome book today during the pickup! Wow! We were also able to disperse almost all the HS materials as well! That was a big first hurdle to get "School" rolling again right away. The staff has been finalizing our plan and I believe I will be rolling out the initial "Fairfield Education Plan" tomorrow as previously stated. Our plan is very good and it will have structure to see us through a short term shut down as well as flexibility to extend until the end of the year if that becomes necessary. We are ready!! Staff members will begin making brief contact on Thurs/Friday and we will be in full fledged "virtual school" next Monday morning at 8am. I will share those details tomorrow. Thank you Fairfield Community for supporting us here at the school. We are, and will continue, to work hard and make the best of the situation and to provide quality education.

Thank you to staff, students, parents etc. for an awesome pick up day today. It wasn't easy really, but wow all of you did a great job. Thanks again!

RE: ROADS TO GF. EXTREMELY SLICK FROM TRUDY'S TO THE INTERSECTION. NOT GOOD FROM FAIRFIELD TO TRUDY'S! BE CAREFUL OR DO NOT DRIVE IN!

Be careful going to school or work this morning. The town streets are slick as are areas on the highways.

The Book Fair was amazing! Thank you to everyone who came out to show your support!

Last Sunday of Pickleball! Come join the fun this Sunday, March 1st at 6:00pm in the little gym!

Check out the 5th Grade mapping the Lewis and Clark expedition. Total engagement by the students!

Congratulations to our student-athletes and coaches for being presented with this certificate! It has been years since a Fairfield student or coach has been ejected from competition. It is a good reminder for all of us as we head into the postseason basketball. Good luck Eagles!
