Dear Fairview families,

We had a fantastic first week of Pre-K! Your children are doing a wonderful job adjusting to our routines and making new friends. Since we are waiting for Seesaw to be set up for our p.m. classes, we are sharing resources via text for now. Please take a look at the "Going to School" social story, which comes from the Pyramid Model.

Reading this short story together at home is a great way to help your child feel confident, excited, and prepared for another great week ahead. Here is the link

Thank you for your support, and we hope you have a wonderful week!

Sincerely, Darcy Dunn, Principal

Dear Fairview Families,

What an incredible first week of school! Starting Pre-K is a major milestone, and our students handled it like absolute rockstars. Throughout the week, they built magnificent block towers, dove into vibrant art projects, made new friends during circle time, and proudly learned their new classroom routines. While a few morning drop-off tears are completely natural, they quickly gave way to giggles, discovery, and play.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. Our staff is dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where your little one(s) can grow and thrive every single day.

Dear Fairview Families,

Thank you so much for attending our Open House! It was wonderful meeting you and seeing the excitement in our new students as they explored their classrooms, met their teachers, and got a glimpse of where their learning adventure begins.

We know that starting Pre-K is a big milestone for both children and parents, and we are so grateful for your partnership. Together, we are going to make this school year full of growth, discovery, and fun!

If you have any remaining questions about routines, schedules, or required forms, please don't hesitate to reach out to the main office or your child's teacher.

We can't wait for a fantastic year ahead!

As we look back on 250 years of freedom, we are acutely aware that this milestone would not be possible without the profound sacrifices of the brave men and women who have defended our country.

To our local veterans, active-duty service members, and the military families within our own school community: Thank you for your service. Freedom is never free; it is earned and sustained by the dedication of those willing to stand in defense of our ideals.

Because of your courage, our students can walk into classrooms each day in safety, free to learn, question, dream, and grow. You embody the very best of the American spirit, selflessness, honor, and duty. Thank you.
