February 2022 Falcon Newsletter
Fairview Elementary School
From the Principal
2022 is off to a challenging beginning with illness and shortage of substitutes, but our falcons have persevered and hopefully everything will settle down soon.
February will bring a week for our school community to focus on kindness. Specific information about those days can be found in our newsletter.
Interviews for the next Fairview principal will be held in February under the direction of CPS Human Resources. Hopefully a new principal will be announced later this month.
Early March brings another opportunity for teachers to conference with parents about their child’s progress. Conferences will be held the week of March 1. Please watch for the conference email in the near future. Please complete your preference to meet in person or by zoom in the google document, so we can schedule a time that works best for you. We strive for 100% of our students represented with a conference. We hope to see you!
Information for summer school enrollment will be sent out in late February.
Thanks for all you do to support your children!

Winter Weather Preparedness and Procedures
In the event of winter weather, school will be cancelled, or a 2-hour delayed start implemented only after roads are tested. Should cancellation or a 2-hour delayed start be necessary, efforts will be made to notify radio and television stations by 6 a.m. If a decision can be made earlier than 6 a.m., the district will make every effort to do so. Information will also be sent via the district's parent messaging system, posted on the district’s website and on CPS-TV.
Parents may make the final decision regarding a child’s attendance. If the parent views the weather too severe or road conditions too dangerous, absences will be excused.
Difficulty in contacting parents usually prevents early dismissals, but under appropriate circumstances the district may dismiss early. On inclement weather days, please continue listening to local radio and television stations for news of early dismissal. Additionally, information will be sent via the district's parent messaging system.
Your child's school will provide direction and updates on specific after-school activities in the event of inclement weather, as each school building will have different scheduling and rescheduling needs.
Stay Informed
- Parents and guardians are automatically signed up to receive text, phone and email messages from your child's school and the district via the district's parent messaging system. If you are not receiving text messages and emails, please contact the registrar at your child’s school(s) to update your contact information. E-mail and text messages will be sent in the event of a weather cancellation to parents with correct contact information on file with their child’s school.
