Get to know the School Board Candidates!
It's been a busy week at FMS with lots of fun, too! We have celebrated Red Ribbon Week with lessons in Trojan Time and a coloring contest. We had our monthly Trojan PRIDE assembly where we were able to celebrate our Student of the Month and Principal's Award winners from each grade and have a special guest, Cam Cooksey, to share his experiences growing up with peer pressure and learning to say no to others to say yes to himself. Finally, we got to enjoy some Halloween fun today!
A huge THANK YOU to our student leaders who make so much of this happen! From leading our assemblies, to setting up and cleaning up, to being leaders in our building, we couldn't have fun like this without you!

A: It’s important for our residents to have a shared understanding and vision for the future of education at FCSD, which is why we have strived to engage with the community. Multiple information meetings have been hosted, and a community survey was completed following the 2024 bond vote.

Q: What if construction bids come back higher than expected?
A: The Fairfield Board of Education has two options if bids return higher than allowed by the bond.
The first option is directing architects and engineers to review the construction projects to make them more economically feasible without sacrificing quality. A second option would be to allocate other resources (like more SAVE revenue or PPEL funds) to make up the difference.
