Navigating Change--Health Procedures


Breaking News:
Since the Reno County Commissioners voted not to allow local school boards to depart from the Governor's Executive Order 20-59, all students and adults in the main building on campus will be required to wear masks. There is an exception for those with doctor's orders. We tried not to have our youngest students, especially Pre-K, be required to wear masks. However the commissioners did not grant our board the power to make that decision. Also KSDE guidelines require that all students in a main building, even Pre-Kindergarteners, wear masks.
If you are a parent of a younger child and this changes your mind about your child attending school, we will still serve them remotely. Please let us know as soon as possible.
The changes in regards to masks for students have been made in our Reopening Plan, which you can find at this link: https://5il.co/j00b

Stafford County Bulldogs Football team is looking for a few more 3rd and 4th graders who are interested in playing football this fall. If you are interested in playing, please contact Coach Brozek @ 620-388-1504.
Attached please find the updated August calendar. Grades K-12 will begin on Aust 26th. Pre-K will start on August 31st.

The Fairfield Board of Education approved a new calendar tonight for the 2020-2021 school year. The first day of school has been moved to Wednesday, August 26th. This change is being made for several reasons. More time is needed for professional development and planning for both onsite and remote learning. Also more time and training is needed for our new and extensive safety protocols. Finally, as most of you know, we have several suspected COVID cases in our area and also some confirmed ones. A number of people are currently in quarantine. Our district is working closely with the Reno County Health Department as we proceed. Our overall goal is to do everything we can to keep our students and staff safe. The updated calendar will be posted on our website tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11. If you have not enrolled yet, please take care of that ASAP. Thanks!
