Dear Fairfax Families,

This week, our staff is reviewing interim test results to identify strengths and areas for growth (students in grades 3-5 ONLY). Students in grades 3-5 will also receive their scores and last-minute tips to prepare for the upcoming Ohio State Test. Please encourage your child to stay focused and continue putting forth their best effort!
