Fairview Elementary strives to create a leadership environment that enhances the educational, social and emotional development of our students. Fairview Elementary is a Leader in Me School and values the greatness in each student; we teach and apply the Seven Habits of Happy Kids. Our students are able to find their voice through various leadership roles. Our Positive Behavior Support (PBS) promotes the positive choices that our students make by recognizing and rewarding them with daily incentives and Quarterly Celebrations/Assemblies. We also have an active PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) that provides funding for field trips to enhance the curriculum across subject areas. We also have many school volunteers, foster grandparents, and mentors that support classroom activities and individual needs. We have Literature and Math nights, Super Science day, school-wide musical programs, Kindergarten Graduation and Fourth Grade Moving Up Ceremony. We also offer Spanish Immersion classes. These are currently offered in grades K-2. Third and fourth grade will be added over the next two years.
Core curriculum includes: the Reading Wonders reading program, Go Math, Smithsonian FOSS Science Kits, and Kid Writing. Music, Art, Physical Education, Library and Technology Standards are taught during daily Related Arts periods. ACT (Accelerated Curriculum and Technology) is available for third and fourth graders who qualify for the Gifted and Talented Program. Special Education Services are available for students that qualify and are provided in the least restrictive environment which include inclusion and resource settings. The curriculum is aligned with Common Core State Standards and is taught through research-based instructional practices and techniques. Student achievement data is a key component of RTI (Response to Intervention). Student progress is monitored and interventions are in place as needed to ensure student success. Both Reading and Math Intervention are included in our daily activities.
