Reminders:
  • Attendance Matters! Please help support your child's learning by making sure they are at school on time and all day every day possible.

  • Add extra clothes to your child's backpack and put their name in their coat! Please keep an extra change of clothes (shirt, shorts/pants, socks, & underwear) in your child's backpack at all times. This is a big help if your child has an accident on the playground, at lunchtime, or in the bathroom!

  • No open-toed shoes. This includes flip flops, sandals, and slides – please make sure your child doesn't wear these to school. They can cause safety issues on the playground and don't keep little toes warm enough in the winter! 
 

Readers are Leaders!

Earn Brand-New Books for Your Student: Book Blast Is Coming!

Dear Fairview Elementary School Families:

We have exciting news! Our school is partnering with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to help put brand-new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every one of our students!

Hear from a real school about the magic of Book Blast and Books Are Fun: Fulton Elementary News Clip

Here’s why we love Book Blast:
  • Every student receives books they’ll love and want to read
  • 100% of all contributions go directly to books and classroom needs
  • The book list is thoughtfully curated and truly engaging

Here’s how your student can join the fun:
They’ll be bringing home a Treasure Map TOMORROW! The Treasure Map is their ticket to joining the fun, earning books and unlocking awesome prizes! It’s simple, exciting, and brings reading to your home.

Keep an eye out for more details soon. Make sure your kids can join in on the fun!
In the meantime, you can learn more about Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/testimonials.

We’re looking forward to a great kickoff!

Check out the K-3 Home Guide to Reading Success!

At Fairview Elementary, we believe reading success starts with strong partnerships between home and school. To support our K–3 families, we’re sharing the Home Guide to Reading Success — a simple, fun handout full of easy strategies to help your child grow as a reader.


Let’s work together to make reading a daily part of family life!
