Attendance email address (to report a student absence)
Meet Ellie, our facility dog! Ellie joins 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, care facilities and more. School facility dogs provide benefits including reduced stress, improved physical and emotional well-being, lowered blood pressure, decreased anxiety, improved self-esteem and increase the likelihood of successful academic achievement for students. We are happy to have Ellie as a part of the Fairfield Freshman Family!
Absences
Regular attendance is important for a successful education. However, we know some situations may cause students to miss school. If your child will be absent, please notify us by emailing [email protected]
For all students who are being dropped off or picked up at the beginning or end of the school day, traffic enters off N. Gilmore Road across from Jungle Jim’s and will continue across the front of the building before exiting onto N. Gilmore near Suburban Propane.
