Home Mission Statement Calendar and Events Directions to Fairview

 

 

Fairview School's mission is to provide a state and national standards-based curriculum that enhances student achievement through staff leadership, with parental and community involvement.

Charter Executive Summary

Fairview School is a partnership of families, staff, and community that educates 628 students in grades K4 to 8.  We continue to prepare our students for global citizenship and future career opportunities.  We celebrate the diversity of our population and the uniqueness of each individual through a multi-cultural curriculum, individualized programming in art and music, and technology options enable us to modify and adapt learning experiences to make every student successful.  This is evident in our assessment scores being at or above district and state levels.

Fairview has been on the cutting edge in inclusive elementary education for well over a decade.  We have determined that the establishment of block scheduling, thematic units and community-based functional activities will best meet the needs of both regular and special education students.  Positive relationships continue to be developed between our oldest and youngest students through mentoring and role modeling activities.

Parental support and enrichment activities strengthen our programming.  The Fairview School Governance Council has a strong voice in directing and maintaining the focus of our educational environment.  The Fairview PTA supports the educational programming and sponsors family activities.
