Next Year Registration 

As we plan for the 2025-26 school year, we need families to advise the school as to whether they are moving out of Fairview School.  Only those families not planning on attending Fairview in the 2025-26 school year need to respond.  Those families not planning on attending Fairview in the 2025-26 school year need to email the school at fairview@cbe.ab.ca with your students’ name, current grade and where they will be attending in the 2025-26 school year. 

Students Praying at School 

We sent out a note earlier this week with updated information about students accessing prayers during school time. We have attached that note to this email. Please click the link to update the information about prayers. Student Prayer Request Form

Fairview School Council / Parent Society Updates: 

Extended Absences 

All students missing 5 days or more must complete an Extended Absence Form prior to their first day of absence.  Parents must remember that they are responsible for the child completing the necessary school work while they are away.

Traffic Safety 

Please obey all posted traffic signs for drop off/pick-up and parking.  Do not park in the city bus zone.  For student safety do not U-turn at the crosswalks on Fairmount Drive. 

Bussing Information 

We urge you to sign up for the appropriate bus tracking apps if you want more information. Unfortunately, at the school we do not have any additional access to information about bussing than you can get from the apps. Directions on how to register for the Southland and First Student Apps have been sent to parents. Currently, TransDev does not have an app that you can use. For TransDev, you can call the following number: 587-349-6652 

Student Drop off and Pick Up 

Please remember that our front doors do not open till 8:50am.  The areas outside of the school are meant for drop and go.  You should not be parking for any length time. Students are to be picked up promptly by 4:00pm.  Should you be picking up your student at the end of the school day and need to advise the student of pick up, please do so before 3:30pm Monday to Thursday or 1:15pm on Fridays. 

Sincerely,

Fairview Admin
