DISTRICT UPDATE FROM SUPERINTENDENT WAGNER

Dear Fairview Families, 


At our Board of Education meeting last evening, the Board continued to review the Re-entry plan for the 2020-2021 school year. 

Now that we have shared the plan with our Board, staff and Reimagine Schools Task Force, we are finalizing it and expect to have the plan posted to our web site by the morning of Wednesday, July 29. 

You can also expect to receive a survey at that time where you can indicate your preference for returning to school or selecting the Fairview Remote Learning Option that we shared with you in last week’s update. 

Also presented to the Board was a proposed change to the district calendar. This calendar will be on the agenda for official approval at the August Regular meeting. Please take a look and note the new student start dates. You can expect to hear from your building principal regarding which Group your student(s) will be in based on family group in mid-August.  

The Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio, of which the Fairview Park City School District is a member, is working in partnership with WKYC TV3 and iHeart radio to create a public service campaign called “Start Smart/Stay Smart” to engage students, families and staff and connect them to resources as they transition back to school now through September 30. 

This is part of the U.S. Dept. of Education grant Project Prevent.  The Start Smart/Stay Smart Campaign will include messages to parents and students about easing fears, concerns, anxieties, and questions about returning to school in the fall during this COVID-19 pandemic. We all know our families play the primary role in understanding and supporting the needs of their children. This campaign will enhance links between districts, internal mental health supports and community providers to ensure impacted students and their families are successful in the transition.

More information can be found at www.StartSmartNEO.org .





Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to plan for the upcoming school year. There will be a lot more information coming within the next few weeks, so please continue to monitor your email and the district website, www.fairviewparkschools.org . 



Thank you. 
Dr. Bill Wagner
