Parents and families are essential partners in promoting good attendance because they have the bottom-line responsibility for making sure their children get to school every day. Just as parents should focus on how their children are performing academically, they have a responsibility to set expectations for good attendance and to monitor their children’s absences, so that missed days don’t add up to academic trouble.
-Make getting students to school on time every day a top priority.
-Alert schools and community agencies to barriers that keep kids from attending class.
-Ask for and monitor data on chronic absence.
-Demand action to address systemic barriers that may be causing large numbers of students to miss too much school.

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL FAIRMONT CARDINALS!
We are proud of providing students with opportunities that prepare them for the future. However, our aging buildings require critical updates to serve our students and staff well.
1️⃣ Our buildings require critical physical facility improvements to continue serving our students and staff well:
🏫 Our elementary school, built in 1954, needs major updates, including a new elevator, exterior doors, skylight seals, windows, and classroom flooring.
🏫 Many classrooms in our junior/senior high school lack windows, impacting students and staff. Several areas need updates, including lockers, locker rooms, flooring, and door and window sealants. Additional single-stall showers are needed, and failing wastewater pipes require replacement.
2️⃣ Our junior/senior high school needs additional, improved, and reconfigured space to support our students and staff well:
🎶 Our band, choir, orchestra, and theater programs lack adequate space. Band and choir rehearse in the basement without bathrooms, orchestra students practice in the performing arts center, carrying large instruments daily, and the band cannot practice together until performance day.
🔒 Safety and security are a top priority. While our junior/senior high is safe, the current entry setup limits face-to-face visitor screening, and students are exposed to the weather without a breezeway between the main building and CTE addition.
