We want families to know there will be no need to bring your own chairs unless bringing your own chairs makes you most comfortable. We have a sanitation station set up to enhance your safety as well. Masks will not be provided nor required, but are encouraged if they make you feel more comfortable and safe. We know the Class of 2020 is looking forward to tonight and we hope to make the event as special as possible under the circumstances and guidelines. We thank you for your support and understanding regarding this challenging situation.

Looks like the weather tomorrow is forcing Class Night to be in the HS Gym Tuesday night at 6pm. As stated earlier, this will limit attendance to Seniors and their "Household" family only, but it will still be broadcast on eaglestreaming.com

Class Night & Graduation The outlined plan for the last two weeks is posted to our website and to the school Facebook. Class Night: Tuesday, May 19th at 6pm & Graduation: Sunday, May 24th at 2pm Both events will be following the social distancing guidelines and both have a Plan A / Plan B, depending on the weather and both will be Live Streamed on eaglestreaming.com Plan A: Outdoor Event on Football Field - Community and Family Invitation. Seniors will be seated in front of the stage. Household family may be seated inside a fenced barrier. All extended family and community may sit or stand outside the barrier adhering to social distancing between families. The outdoor event will be a "Bring you own Chair" for safety and convenience. There will be room for individuals to sit in their vehicles on the visitor sideline and track. There will be decorated senior vehicles on the Home sideline for a post graduation receiving line and gift drop. Plan B: Inside - High School Gym. This will be limited to Senior HOUSEHOLD Family Only. Extended family may not attend in person, but it will be live streamed. Seating and social distancing will be provided, but not assigned. There will be seating in both the bleachers and the floor in front of the seniors. There will be labeled totes for gift drop located just outside the front gym lobby area.

EAGLE PLUS! Volunteering, cleaning, and social distancing. Good job and thank you!

It is TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK! We want to thank our teachers for choosing the educational profession. They do a great job. Our elementary was recognized as a Blue Ribbon School earlier this year and our high school has been scoring in the top 5 and top 10 on the ACT for several years. Hard work and dedication by teachers, support staff, students, and parents allow Fairfield Schools to be one of the very best. Have a great day and a great week!

Hello there Fairfield Community! Last night at the special board meeting it was decided that Fairfield Schools will continue to serve students off site via online distance learning and material packets. Please see attached the educational plan that we approved last night as well. We also want you to realize the situation remains fluid and could change any day. Thank you so much for your support, cooperation, and flexibility during these unprecedented times. It certainly hasn't been easy for families and students.

Hello everyone! Included in this message is the agenda for the Special Board Meeting to be held on Monday, May 4th. It has been busy, but an informative time the last few weeks. We have gathered as much information as we can via emails, phone calls, zoom meetings, etc. and will be recommending to continue with off-site education with the distance learning modules of online instruction and material packets. We are working on COVID-19 policies, Class Night, and Graduation. We will do the very best we can, knowing it isn't going to be the very best for everyone. The Monday Board Meeting will be on Zoom and can be accessed by going to the school website and getting the link off the school calendar. The link will be available on Monday, May 4th. Thank you and take care!
