School Council Meeting and Fairview School Casino 

Please join us on March 10th for an in person school council at Fairview School from 6:30 – 7:30pm.  We will be sharing information about school planning and discussing our upcoming Fairview School Casino. This is the most important fundraising event organized by the Fairview Parent Advisory Council to financially support Fairview School and our students. The funds raised directly benefit every student in our school community. Without enough volunteers, we will not be able to participate in this event, which would significantly impact the programs and opportunities we are able to provide. 

Please use the link below to sign up.

Learn and Share – School Planning 

We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we’ll be sharing information about school planning and asking you to share your perspectives. 

During this engagement, you will have the opportunity to: 

  1. Learn About 
  • School planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees 
  • How the school development plan sets the overall focus and direction for a school to improve student learning outcomes 
  • How the school budget provides funding to implement our school development plan 
  • School fees and why they are necessary 
     
  1. Participate  
  • Participate in our School Councial meeting on March 10th at 6:30pm at Fairview School to learn more about school planning. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback at this meeting. 

Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning. 

We’ll send you a link to the survey, our school development plan and school budget and fees information when it’s available. We will also post it on our school website. 

 

In School Events: 

Book Fair 

We will be holding a book fair at the school from March 3 through March 6. Students will have an opportunity to preview and purchase books during the week. The books will be provided by Owl’s Nest Books.
