Health Immunization Reminders:

Dear Cardinal Families:

Last week, you may have received a letter reminding your family that your child has immunization requirements to meet this year. Please carefully review the letter and contact your child's doctor or Ouachita County Health Department to schedule their immunizations.

By state law, on September 8, 2025, we are required to exclude from school students who are still lacking immunizations until they obtain their immunizations or an exemption.

Kindergarten students must have all required immunizations including 4 y/o shots and a complete physical that includes a review of systems.

All students who will be 11 years old by September 1st must have a Tdap shot.

All 7th grade students and students 16-years-old by September 1st must have the Meningococcal vaccine.

Please schedule immunization appointments now with your child's healthcare provider or the Ouachita County Health Unit. The Health Unit's telephone number is (870) 836-5033.

More information is available on the CFSD Student Health Services page. Thank you.

Attendance Matters!

🎟️ Fairview Elementary #AttendanceMatters Reward Card

Students earn a punch on their reward card each week they have:

✅ No absences

✅ No tardies

✅ No early pickups

Once their card is full, they earn a prize! With every card they fill, the prize gets even bigger.

📊 Why Daily Attendance Matters in Elementary School

Every Day Counts – Research shows that students who miss just 2 days a month (about 18 days a year) are much more likely to fall behind in reading and math.

Early Habits Last – Good attendance habits in elementary school set the stage for success in middle and high school.

Better Outcomes – Students with strong attendance are more likely to read on grade level by 3rd grade, graduate on time, and be prepared for college or a career.

Connected & Engaged – Being present every day helps children build friendships, feel part of the school community, and stay connected to their teachers.

👉 At Fairview Elementary, we know that every school day is a building block in your child’s education. Let’s work together to make sure our Cardinals are here, on time, and ready to learn—every day! ❤️🤍
