And they are off 🏎…6th grade science students are testing out their mouse trap cars for distance and speed this week! After testing their cars they are making revisions based on what they observed during the trial runs! Great critical thinking and problem solving skills!
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.

So thankful for our amazing team of staff at FMS❤️ Dawn and Janice were hard at work this morning with the canceling of school early due to no electricity at Pence. The phones were ringing off the hook for over an hour and students piling up in the office. They did it with ease and a smile on their face😊 We appreciate our office secretaries in keeping our ship afloat🚢

Shout Out to FHS Band Students Emma Wendland, Una Carter, Evie Messer, Giteeka Adhikari, Bradley Warnell, Samu Shrestha, and David Creer for putting in the extra efforts to tryout for the SEIBA Honor Band yesterday! Go Trojans! #OneFairfield
The SEIBA Honor Band auditions were halted for approximately 30 minutes this morning when the fire alarm system at Fairfield HS was activated. It was determined that pizzas that had been left in the foods lab ovens to warm had caught fire, which caused a good amount of smoke to fill the room and set off the alarm. The building was evacuated and the fire quickly extinguished while waiting for the fire department to arrive. The fire department determined that the building was safe to re-enter, and the auditions resumed at approximately 12:05. The fire was contained to the oven that the pizzas were in, and there was no damage that resulted, other than the accumulation of smoke. At no time were the students in any imminent danger.
