It is required for all parents/guardians to complete Final Forms for each child. Please complete this as soon as possible. This will ensure we have all up-to-date information on our students. Final Forms can be accessed at www.fairfield-oh.finalforms.com.

Free and Reduced-Price Meals are available to families that believe they may qualify. If your family chooses to apply, please complete the Free & Reduced Meal Price Application. You may also fill it out online. Only one application will need to be filled out per family.

If you want school fees to be waived as well, you must check the box on the back that says, “Yes, I DO want school officials to share information from my Free and Reduced Price Meal Application with any of these programs.”

Grades 1, 2, 3, & 5 are $60.00. Grade 4 is $66.00. The kindergarten fee is $40.00. You may pay school fees online at www.fairfieldcityschools.com using MasterCard or Visa. Click on Payschools Central or you may pay with cash or check payable to Fairfield Central Elementary. If paying by cash/check, please have it in an envelope with your child’s name on it. Fees were due September 13, 2024.

 

Visitors will be permitted by appointment only. Please contact the person you wish to meet with beforehand to schedule the appointment.

Starting at 8:30 a.m., students may be dropped off at the main entrance of the building. Since there are no teachers to supervise children until 8:30 am, we do not permit children to come to school before that time as we cannot accept responsibility for them. Please do not leave your child(ren) unattended at the main entrance. No adults will be permitted to walk students to class.

Afternoon Kindergarten drop off starts at 12:25 p.m. Again, please do not drop off early or leave your child(ren) unattended at the main entrance.

If your student will be picked up every day please complete the Everyday Pick Up Form, which is available in the office. After the form is submitted you and your student will receive a pickup tag with a number. Parents can drive through the lot in front of the school, show the family pick-up number, and a staff member will escort your child to your vehicle. The Pick-Up time starts at 3:15 p.m. and ends at 3:40 p.m.

 

You are allowed 7 absences in a school year. Parents may use the following email address to report student absences: [email protected]. If received by 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the absence, the e-mail notification will serve as both a call-in and a parent note. Parents may still choose to call in to report student absences by 9:30 a.m. on the day of the absence and send a note with the child when he/she returns. We need to receive written notification of a child's absence within 3 days of the child's return to school in order for the absence to be considered excused. Please continue to ask for written verification of any doctor/dentist visits, funerals, court dates, etc., and send them in with your child on the day he/she returns to school. Good attendance is critical for success in school.

As I begin my twelfth year as principal of Central Elementary, I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your child(ren). I will accomplish this by ensuring a clean and sanitized building, setting high academic expectations for all children, and providing supportive systems to ensure all personal needs are met.

Sincerely,

Karrie Gallo

Principal
