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.

Due to weather conditions, Fairfield Schools are on a 2-hour delay.

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. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FCSDcommsurvey

Due to foggy conditions, Fairfield Schools will run classes on a one hour delay.

Fairfield Community School District will dismiss school at 10:00 this morning, January 11, 2023. Pence Elementary is without electricity due to an Alliant transformer. Alliant will work on the system today, and school will resume tomorrow. All schools will be dismissed in the district. After-school activities are as scheduled at the high school. Middle School activities and practices are canceled. There will be no after-school program at Washington, Pence, or Homework club at the middle school.
