We may have been quiet this summer, but PTO, Fairview Admin, and Unit 5 have been working on something special for the school year. Check back for updates and the grand reveal soon!

Fairview's Meet The Teacher Night is August 18th! See you there!

Congratulations to our two Fairview PTO scholarship recipients this year, Ella Michalak and Jahariah Williams!!

Ella Michalak
“I will be attending the University of Iowa to study Pharmacy. I am graduating from Normal Community High School but my schooling experience started with Fairview. Fairview helped prepare me for my future through academics and personal growth. It gave me a strong foundation for learning while also shaping the values and the mindset I carry with me today.”

Jahariah Williams
“I plan on attending Monmouth College, majoring in Nursing and running on the Track team. Fairview has made a great impact on my life by teaching me the importance of being kind to everyone.”

We our so grateful for our favorite school nurse, Jill! Thanks for keeping our kids safe and healthy!

Unit 5 is keeping a close eye on the weather and is aware of the potential for storms on Monday. Right now, it is still too early to know what, if anything, will impact our area.

We want to make families aware that an early dismissal is a possibility if conditions warrant. Nothing has been decided, but we want you to be prepared just in case.

We want to stress, no dismissal decisions have been made at this time; we will notify families in the morning, by 8:30 am.

We are canceling all elementary and junior high school field trips for Monday.

If Unit 5 were to release early, it would look different from our traditional early dismissal schedule.

Dismissal times would be:
Elementary schools: 1 p.m.
High schools: 1:48 p.m. (after sixth hour) / 2 p.m. (buses will depart)
Junior high schools: 2:15 p.m.
Early learning - Morning: 10:15 am (regular time)
Early learning - Afternoon: would not attend in person. Log into Teaching Strategies My Family portal.
Early learning - Full-day: 12:45 p.m.
There would be no after-school care in the buildings, including Scribbles, YMCA, and Normal Parks and Recreation. All afternoon activities would also be canceled, including practices, games, events, and building rentals.

Secondary schools will not have seventh and eighth hour classes. Staff members should stay through bus departure and then they can head home.

We’ll continue to monitor the forecast and will share updates as soon as we have them.

Please help us show our appreciation to our Fairview staff during Teacher Appreciation week! Sign up to donate food throughout the week of May 4-8th. Thank you families!
