Update from Superintendent Wagner
Dear Fairview Families,

I hope you and your entire family are healthy, safe, and still in good spirits.

As we continue with the stay-at-home executive order into our fifth week, I know things can get rather challenging as you are attempting to balance your own work schedules and demands, keeping kids engaged in remote learning, caring for everyone’s physical and emotional well-being, and missing that personal contact with others that has been replaced with hunkering down and social distancing. Stay strong and keep the faith. This too shall pass!  

Governor DeWine mentioned today that he will be sharing some key information regarding schools and the next phase of this battle against COVID-19 early next week at his daily 2:00 p.m. press briefing. I will be tuned in (like I always am) and will share any important information with you all as soon as possible.

We are happy to now have a video conferencing tool (Google Meet) that we have confirmed keeps student information secure and prevents students from being vulnerable and accessible to outside hackers and inside mischief. Thank you all for your patience as we insisted that key privacy standards be met. I’ve heard MANY horror stories from other districts that we have prevented. Because we have been working with integrating technology safely and selectively over many years, trying to find the best balance between human touch and high tech, we’ve learned a lot! Thank you for your understanding and efforts to learn and grow with us.

Here are just a few reminders we’d like to share with you this week: 

SOCIAL DISTANCING

Please remember to maintain social distancing while outdoors. This past week the city, which owns and maintains the FHS track and stadium, put up new signage to remind residents of social distancing best practices. 

Also a reminder that city parks and playgrounds, as well as school playgrounds, are closed for the foreseeable future. 
SUPPLY DONATIONS

Thank you to our Fairview families and teachers for helping to stock classrooms with supplies at the beginning of the school year. Over the past several weeks, we have been able to donate several carloads of supplies not in use to organizations in need. 

We never thought we’d need to re-collect supplies, but are happy to have been able to provide community organizations in need with disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissues. We also appreciate our science teachers who gladly donated goggles and gloves. 



TECH SUPPORT 

Reminder: if your student is experiencing issues with their school-owned device or charger, please email support@fairview.k12.oh.us . 


SCHOOL MEALS 

The Fairview Park City School District is continuing to provide meals during the extended school closure for families who rely on free or reduced-cost meals for their children. 

We will continue to offer no-cost, grab-and-go meals (each student will receive 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches) each week.

Stay strong, everyone… as Governor DeWine quoted today in his 2:00 p.m. press briefing:

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." - Winston Churchill
