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.

We’ll also be celebrating Family Literacy Month all November through our upcoming events — Parent Empowerment Night (Nov. 13), Breakfast with Dads, and Thanksgiving Lunch. These are great opportunities to learn, share, and enjoy reading together as a family.

Join us at Cardinal Strong: Parent Empowerment Night on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 5:30–7:00 PM at Camden Fairview Middle School. We'll be hosting sessions on student success, the new 3rd-grade promotion law, and at-home reading strategies for all grade levels.

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

Reminder: Add Extra Clothes to Your Child's Backpack! 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!
