Fairfield Panther Paw
October 31, 2025
From Mrs Tennenbaum
What a beautiful morning for our parade. It was great to see all the families out to watch. We are working on our self-regulation skills by being able to have a fun activity or break but then being able to come back and maintain focus and attention on our work. Our goal isn't to stop having fun; it's to have flexible control. We want students to to be super-energized when it's time to for the fun activity but we want them to choose to be calm and ready when it's time to learn. This is a difficult skill. We continue to remind students to be great ROAR models and to practice those expectations every day. The word of the month for October was responsibility - many many students earned tickets for being responsible. It makes me so proud to have so many students showing responsibility around school.
We don't do Average, we do Awesome!
We are all in this together!

Want to recognize an awesome staff member??

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!
