Dear
Parents/Guardians,
The final
set of Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences for the 2018-19 school year are now
complete. We thank parents for engaging
in this process and attending. We have
had parents ask if there could be more booked spots. The reality is that we would never be able to
provide all parents the opportunity to meet with all their teachers. This would just take too much time resulting
in a loss of instructional time to your students. We encourage parents/guardians to contact
their child’s teachers at any time.
Staff emails are on the Fairview School website.

Fairview is
very proud of our Eagles Basketball teams.
All teams made it to the playoffs.
Our Jr. Boys, Jr. Girl’s and Sr. Girl’s all were champions of their division. Badminton tryouts will begin on Monday, April
1, 2019.
Recently we
have had a huge increase in parent and student concerns with regards to cell
phone use at school. We have received
reports of inappropriate behaviours occurring on social media sites to
inappropriate videos been shown to other students. We would like to remind all students,
parents/guardians that you have signed the Fairview/CBE Student Digital
Citizenship Acceptable Use Agreement which clearly outlines the acceptable use
of cell phones. A copy of this agreement
can be found on the Fairview School Website. http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/fairview/culture-environment/tech-tools/digital-citizenship/pages/default.aspx
It would be
greatly appreciated if parents could review this policy with their child(ren)
and review what applications are on their child’s phone.
We remind
parents/guardians that cell phones and cell plans are purchased and owned by
parents. It is your responsibility to
approve the applications that your child has available to them on their
devices. On most devices there is a
parental control setting which allows you to set what your child has access to
on their device.
Should
inappropriate use of digital devices continue we will consider banning cell
phone use at Fairview School.
The Fairview
Parent Advisory Council would like to thank all students and parents who
contributed to the Spring In Bloom Fundraising Campaign. We all appreciate your support. Our next Parent Council Meeting is on
Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at 6:30 pm in the Fairview School Learning Commons. All Fairview parents are welcome to attend.
We wish
everyone a safe and happy Spring Break.
School resumes on Monday, April 1, 2019
