Fairfield Schools will use its automated phone calling system to advise parents if their child is absent from school. The call will be made for all absent students, unless a note or email has been received from the parent. Parents who call the school to advise their child will be absent will still receive the automated call, as a reminder to send a note regarding the absence when the child returns to school. The school district policy on student absences can be seen at: http://www.fairfieldcityschools.com/2010/SchoolBoard/documents/schoolboard/sectionJ/JED.pdf.
An e-mail address has been established for attendance purposes. When students are absent, we ask that parents use the following email to report student absences:
To ensure that we are providing the best educational environment for our students, the Fairfield Freshman School has made character education an integral part of the school’s mission. The school has implemented Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) to teach and reinforce positive character traits such as respect, responsibility, and problem solving.
The most exciting part of the character building program is the “Brave Ticket” program. Students making choices that show respect, responsibility, or being a good problem solver are presented with a “Brave Ticket”. These tickets are put in a drawing and each week a student is selected for an award. In addition to the weekly awards several other incentives are planned throughout the year. Every three weeks one student will be selected in a special drawing to receive a Character Certificate and an MP3 player. Plus, a special honor will be provided for all students who receive a ticket during each nine week grading period. The special honor may include an awards breakfast or a gift certificate.
