Congrats to these students for earning the Principal's award for January! So proud of you all!
In 2021, Fairfield Community School District asked voters for a new $30 million Middle School building, and the voters did not support it. The district listened to voters and re-evaluated the process to look at a long-range plan for the district. A facilities assessment was completed in 2020, and the district partnered with the architect firm FEH Design. FEH Design then reviewed the assessment. The assessment identified that hundreds of thousands of dollars need to be invested into each of the four school buildings for maintenance, safety, and ADA requirements. The district recruited a community advisory task force to look at long-term visions for the district’s facilities.
The school board wants to make wise decisions that align with the community's long-term visions and financial capabilities so funding is not expended in a short-sighted way. Please take a few minutes to respond to this important survey.

Today, there was a gas leak detected at Washington Elementary School this morning. The staff and students were safely and immediately evacuated from the building and then moved by bus to the high school.
Alliant Energy came on site and helped to repair the leak and make sure the school was safe for staff and students to return. After returning to the school, classes resumed as normal.
Dismissals at the end of the school day will operate as regularly planned.
8th graders are designing towers that would withstand an “earthquake” simulation this week. This involved collaboration with their team as they apply science concepts and critical thinking as they test their models. Some creative designs and thoughtful planning are happening 🗼Love these types of problem solving labs and hands on activities!

Special shout out to our AEA for helping with an ability awareness overview this week. Students in 8th grade were involved in a presentation discussing neurodiversity. This describes the idea that some people’s brains work different than others and may perceive and experience the world around them in different ways.
The AEA discussed characteristics of ADHD, Autism, Smith Magenis, and Tourette’s while relating these to student experiences. Lana also presented and did a fantastic job!
Our goal is to help students understand how to interact with all people. We need to understand one another. When we have a better understanding of each other, we can find commonalities and respect for one another rather than seeing our differences!
Congrats to these amazing students for being our January Students of the Month👏

Special thanks to JCHC for taking time out of their day to provide some basic skills to some of our classes today in health and PE. Students learned basic skills in how to help someone with a wound to stop the bleeding, an overview of CPR, and careers in the health field🩺👩⚕️We are so fortunate to have amazing people in our community to do these types of things with students. And a special thank you to our teachers who made this happen! Thank you!
