Nov/Dec. 2023 Newsletter

November 27, 2023 by fregiehl

Hello Fairview Families,

At this time of year, we are especially thankful that you are part of the Fairview School family.  Wishing you and your family a restful and joyful holiday.  Happy Thanksgiving!

See below for Fairview School information as it pertains to the months of November/December.

PJ Day! – Spirit week continues tomorrow with PJ Day.  Just a reminder that Thanksgiving Break begins Wednesday, November 22nd.

Fairview Addition Breaks Ground – Our expansion project is officially underway!  This new addition will make space for a larger, updated gymnasium; expanded art and science rooms; larger music room; and other renovations to support small group learning.  Project updates will be shared throughout the duration of the project.

Wisconsin State Report Card – We are proud to share that the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction released school report cards, naming Fairview School as a school that achieved “Exceeds Expectations”.  We are proud of all of our hard-working students and talented staff who have continued our tradition of excellence. You can read more and access the report card – https://dpi.wi.gov/accountability/report-cards

Holiday Program – Looking for some holiday cheer before the break?  Check out Fairview’s 2023 Holiday   Program consisting of our K4 – 2nd grade students along with our band, harp and piano students on Friday, December 15, 2023.  In order to accommodate our families with seating arrangements, we will be having two separate performances.  Our K4 and K5 performance will start at 9:30am while our 1st, 2nd, band, harp and piano students will start at 12:30pm.  Hope to see you there!

School Start Time – 7:25am – Just a reminder that our school start time is 7:25am.  Students should line up on their designated playground spots between 7:20-7:25.  Please plan ahead as winter weather is here and parking along the Parkway is limited.

Trimester 1 Reports – We will be sending the Trimester 1 report cards home on Tuesday, November 28.  This is a great opportunity to sit down with your child and review the information.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
