From IdeaTek:
Dear valued families,
We are pleased to inform you that IdeaTek, an internet service provider, is providing free service and an electronic device to qualifying families in their current and future service area. We believe you may be eligible and we encourage you to reach out to IdeaTek directly at 855-433-2835.
This is made possible from the Broadband Partnership Adoption Grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce. The first 250 qualifying homes get free internet service until the end of 2021, but you must be installed by the end of this year, so they are encouraging people to call as soon as they can to ensure service.
An information flyer is attached for your convenience. For more information, visit www.ideatek.com/lifeline or call us at 855-433-2835.
Thank you!

Fairfield Community, We have been notified that an individual at Fairfield has tested positive for COVID-19. Any persons who were considered a “close contact “ of the individual have been contacted and will need to quarantine. If you have not been notified, you may assume your student was not affected.

During these 10 days, we’re asking for a commitment from residents to:
Wear a mask AND distance 6 feet at all times in indoor spaces (outside of home), plus maintain at least 6 feet of distance outdoors.
Avoid being indoors with non-household members except for school, work that can’t be done from home, and activities deemed absolutely essential.
Work from home, if possible, and hold meetings online rather than in person.
Hold gatherings online rather than in person, and avoid situations that involve singing, refreshments, and other high-risk activities.
Support local stores by wearing a mask, social distancing when in person, and if possible, ordering online or by phone with curbside delivery.
Support local restaurants by getting take-out rather than dining in.
Continue to maintain healthy behaviors by keeping up with routine physician, dental, and eye appointments.
Maintain a balanced diet and routine exercise.
Let's all do our part to curb the spread of Covid-19!
