Calling All Parents, Get Involved

If you would like to be directly involved with Fairview, join the School Engagement Council (SEC)! Our SEC enables families, staff, and students (when appropriate) along with the community to work in supporting shared leadership, equity and cultural relevance resulting in increased student achievement.

If you are looking to be more involved with the school on a district level, please join the District Advisory Council (DAC). Our DAC meets monthly to learn about and advise on district strategies and programs impacting families, particularly related to Title I.

If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Stanley, our Parent Coordinator, at [email protected] or 414-546-7780 to learn how to sign up.

Parent Teacher Organization

  • Kids are proud of their involved parents
  • Networking with other parents is a huge benefit
  • PTO involvement improves student behavior
  • Students benefit academically from parent involvement

Fairview has a fantastic PTO involving parents across all grade levels. We would love for you to become part of the Fairview PTO family. Contact Kelly Mutsch at [email protected] for further information.
