Facility Dog: Tessi
Meet Tessi, Fairfield East's facility dog. Tessi comes to us from Circle Tail, an organization that trains highly skilled service-oriented dogs. Facility Dogs are specially trained to provide physical, social, cognitive, or emotional assistance to community members in schools/classrooms, courthouses, and more. Having a dog at school can help with improving self-esteem, problem-solving skills, encourage body movement, encourage responsibility, and relieve stress/anxiety. Tessi, loves her toys, treats, and her Fairfield East Family.

Bus Riders
We encourage all students to ride the bus on the first day of school so that they are assigned a bus seat. We have numerous volunteers assisting us during the first week of school and your child will learn where to go under the supervision of staff and PTC volunteers.
Bus Routes
All bus routes are available on our district website under transportation within the department's tab.
Every Day Student Pickup Procedure
While we encourage all students to ride the bus, we understand that some families need to pick up their children at the end of the school day. If your child(ren) will be picked up every day, please sign them up for Every Day Pickup. To do this, log in to Final Forms and select 'Pick Up' in the Afternoon on the Transportation Information Form.
As an Every Day Pickup parent/guardian, we ask that you follow our Every Day Pickup Policies and Procedures to ensure a safe and smooth afternoon pickup process for everyone.
Everyday Pick-up Car Line Procedures
- Parents will display a hanging car tag with the number assigned to their child(ren) on their rearview mirror.
- Parents affix corresponding number tags to their child(ren)’s backpack.
- Daily pick-up students will be dismissed to the cafeteria each afternoon at 3:08.
- Staff members are assigned to monitor the pick-up lane. Using the number assigned to your child(ren) displayed on your rearview mirror, staff members assigned to the pick-up lane will radio your child(ren)’s to staff assigned to support students in the cafeteria.
- Once the staff members in the cafeteria hear your child(ren)’s number your child(ren) will be released.
- Children need to be loaded on the passenger side of the car for safety purposes.
- To keep every student safe, we are requesting all drivers stay in their lane. Please don’t go around other cars in the pickup lane.
Parent Communication
We use the communication service REMIND as the main source of communication with families. Through REMIND, important school messages are sent out as necessary and our school newsletter East Spotlight is sent biweekly. You can sign up for Remind by texting 81010 with the message @FAEE.
East’s PTC
Look for information to come home from PTC within the first days of school telling how you can get involved. Many new activities are being planned for the school year, so you will not want to miss this opportunity to get involved. A great start is to follow East PTC on Facebook! Lots of great information for students and families!
