Fairfield Panther Paw
October 24, 2025
From Mrs Tennenbaum
The weather is definitely feeling like fall! Please make sure that your students are prepared to go outside for recess. We will go out as much as possible - outdoor recess is so much better than inside recess. We continue to expect, encourage and enforce our ROAR expectations every day -- Be Respectful, Take Ownership, Have a positive Attitude and Be Remarkable. Our character trait for October is Responsibility! Please continue to encourage your students to do their best, work hard and be kind each and every day.
We don't do Average, we do Awesome!
We are all in this together!

Early Sign out Reminder
The safety of our students is always our top priority!
If someone other than a listed guardian in Infinite Campus will be picking up your child early, please contact the main office ahead of time to let us know.
Even if the person is listed as an emergency contact, we still need to hear directly from a guardian before releasing a student. If we haven’t been notified, our office will reach out to a guardian for verification before dismissal.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and ensuring a smooth sign-out process for everyone!
PTO updates
Our Trunk or Treat is this Sunday from 4–6 PM!
If you didn’t register online—no worries! You can still pay $5 per family at the door cash or Venmo
We can’t wait to see everyone in costume for an evening of candy, fun, and community!
There are still spots open to volunteers for this fun event: Volunteer Sign-Up Link

Fairfield will be providing a light breakfast for veterans that will start at 8:15 am.We would like to invite parents or close family members who have served in the Armed Forces to attend this program.

Fairfield Grounds
We love that our grounds can be used by the community but in effort to keep everyone safe and supervised during dismissal from school, we kindly ask that students and families refrain from playing on school grounds including the playground until after dismissal at 4:15. We also ask that no bikes, scooters or motorbikes be on school property until after dismissal. Thank you for your help.
