Dear Families,
Earlier this afternoon, local law enforcement officials informed the Fairfield Community School District that they were investigating a report of an adult with a firearm near the area of Washington Elementary and the High School.
To be safe, all schools sheltered in place until police gave us the all clear which happened shortly thereafter once that person was located and apprehended. All students were safe, and we took this action out of an abundance of caution and at the direction of the Fairfield Police Department.
We wanted to make sure you were aware. Thank you for your attention to this update.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephanie Mishler
Superintendent
Greetings! Join us on January 9 at 6:30 pm in the High School Auditorium for a discussion on the district's imminent facility initiatives and gain valuable insights into tax implications for property owners. Your informed presence is key as we delve into this crucial topic.
Two student council members helped FCSD make history today, while utilizing new technology in the school district.
While utilizing a new feature in the district's Quicklert solution, these students made the first Quicklert live announcement, outside of production, in the nation. This kind of harkens back to Alexander Graham Bell in 1876..."Mr. Watson, Come Here..."
