Falcon Forum
Principal Point
Happy Friday, I hope your family and loved ones are healthy and well. It has been awhile since I've sent you a Falcon Forum, but I have some important information to share in the topics below.
I would really like to express how much we at Fairmont love having students being back in the building. Our students and the traditional means of teaching them is the heart of what we do. Our students give us energy and purpose, and they also seem to be happier at school than ever before. It's this emotional connection and relationship that students and teachers share that makes learning more meaningful. Thank you for your patience and trust while we navigate this hybrid model with your children.
I recognize that COVID numbers are on the rise and anxiety is high, and that each time I have to send a letter home it only perpetuates these feelings. However, we have not seen transmission in our school at this point, and it seems that these isolated cases are being contracted out in the community. Our students and staff are doing a great job of following our pandemic protocols, and we remain optimistic that we can continue to push forward.
Thank you for doing your part at home to support your kids and our school community.
Go Falcons!
-Mr. Ryan

Helping With Health Procedures
With students returning to school, safety and health will continue to be a top priority. We need our students to play close attention to how they are feeling prior to coming to school. Masks will be worn at all times inside our school building, and handwashing / hand sanitizing will be frequent throughout the day. We must be vigilant so we can keep our schools open. Please review the parent / guardian health procedures below, and thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Fairmont or BOS
If you are going to continue with the same option you are currently in, no action is required. If you are wishing to change your school option for second semester please contact our office.
