Principal's Message 

As we head into the Thanksgiving long weekend, I want to take a moment to thank our staff, students, and families for such a positive start to the school year. It has been wonderful to see our students settling into routines, building connections, and embracing all that Fairview has to offer. I’m grateful for the support and partnership of our families and for the care and dedication our staff bring to our school each day. 

I hope everyone enjoys a restful long weekend filled with time to relax, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter most. Wishing you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving!

Drop-Off, Pick-Up and Traffic Etiquette 

Please remember to follow all traffic laws and bylaws and be respectful of our neighbours and one another during drop-off and pick-up. The area directly in front of the school is designated for quick drop-off only, so please do not park, wait, or leave your vehicle unattended in this area. Thank you for helping us keep traffic moving safely and smoothly. 

A quick reminder that our doors open at 8:55 a.m., and there is no supervision before this time. Please plan your child’s arrival accordingly so they aren’t waiting outside for an extended period before the doors open. 

Inclement Weather 

Students will continue to go outside for lunch and PE unless there is heavy rain, temperatures are below -20°C, or air quality is poor. Please ensure your child comes prepared for the weather each day. This may mean raincoats and rain boots on wet days, or warm jackets, hats and mittens when temperatures drop! 

Away for the Day Cell Phone Policy 

Reminder that students are expected to keep their cell phones in their locker at all times of the school day. This includes smartwatches, gaming devices, and earbuds/Bluetooth devices. 

Athletics  

Soccer  

  Basketball   

Upcoming Events 

Clay Club 

Ms. Pacheco is excited that there was an overwhelming interest in the Clay Club. She received over 25 forms, so a lottery will have to be made. Students who have been drawn in the lottery will have the $15 clay club charge added to their account. If you do not see the fee on your student’s account by October 13, 2026, it means that your student’s name wasn’t drawn in the lottery. 

Fairview Hoodies 

The cutoff to submit forms to purchase Fairview hoodies was today, Friday, October 9, 2026. If your student didn’t hand in their form, they are unable to purchase a hoodie. No exceptions. The fees will be posted by the end of the day today. If you sent in an order form, please ensure you make payment through your MyCBE account no later than Thursday, October 15, 2026. Any hoodies not paid for by 4:00 pm on October 15, 2026 will be removed from your account.  

Healthy Hunger 

Healthy Hunger is supported and run by our Parent Advisory Council. The restaurants and dates have been posted and you are now able to prepurchase Healthy Hunger meals for your student(s). If you do not currently have a Healthy Hunger account, you can set one up through the following link: 

https://healthyhunger.ca/ 

Please remember to complete your purchase once you’ve put items in the ‘cart’. You are able to preorder for the year if that is easier for you. If you prepurchase a meal and your student is absent that day, you can call the school on the day of the event, before 10:00am, to arrange for pickup at the office. If you cannot pick the meal up by the end of the day, it will not be refrigerated and will be thrown out. Any meals without an alternate pickup arrangement by 10:00 am will be given to students who need lunch.
