District Shares Guidance on Coronavirus Preparedness
|
Health officials currently recommend a series of common-sense protections for our students, staff and community:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Stay at home if you are sick and keep children at home if they are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, and throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
While the threat of the coronavirus impacting American schools remains unknown, we continue to work with government and health care agencies to develop coronavirus response plans.
We will continue to update you on our efforts as well as developments involving this health concern.
Stay in the Know - Please be sure that your most up to date contact information is in your PowerSchool parent portal under Alerts.

Do you have broken/unwanted
crayons that you are planning to
throw away? Well, save them from
the landfill and donate to a good
cause! The PTA is collecting used
crayons and will be sending them to
Effortless Art, a company (started
by a Fairview grad!) that
makes adapted crayons for early
learners and special needs children.
If you would like to donate your broken/used crayons, you can drop
them in the box found in the Gilles Sweet office. We will be collecting
them through the remainder of the school year. Any questions, please
feel free to contact Karley Beaudry,
karleybeaudry86@gmail.com
