The Kansas Board of Regents just passed into law a new scholarship act called the Kansas Promise Act. This is very important for those of you planning to attend a public community college or a technical school. There are a few requirements attached to it, the first of which is choosing an eligible program of study (information technology & security, mental & physical healthcare, advanced manufacturing & building trades, and early childhood education & development.) You must also then sign an agreement to live and work in Kansas for two years following your college graduation. This scholarship will cover the cost of tuition, books, fees, and required materials, after you've applied any other scholarships or financial aid. This is available to graduates of the CLASS of 2021 and will be available for the graduating seniors for the next several years.
So, if you are going to attend a community college or technical school, you should really look at this, because you could go to school for FREE, if you are willing to stay in Kansas for 2 years following college graduation. See this link for more details: https://www.kansasregents.org/.../promise-act-scholarship

KDHE Mobile Hepatitis and COVID Vaccination Lab Is Returning to Hutchinson; Get Bonus $15 Applebee’s Meal Coupon for Vaccinating
Reno County, Kan.- July 8, 2021- KDHE’s mobile lab will be back in Hutchinson for the next four Wednesdays to administer COVID-19 and Hepatitis A vaccines, along with rapid COVID testing. The first 30 individuals to receive a vaccine each day will be given a $15 meal coupon for Applebee’s in Hutchinson. No appointment is needed, limit one coupon a month. The lab will be set up at the Salvation Army, 700 N. Walnut Street, Hutchinson, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on July 14, 21, 28 and August 4. All services are free and confidential.
“We are excited to team up with the Thrive Corporation to offer a meal at Applebee’s,” said Reno County Health Department Director Karla Nichols. “COVID is still a threat in our community, especially with the rise of Delta variant cases in Kansas. Vaccinating is still the best line of defense we have right now.”
Reno County also saw a rise of Hepatitis A cases this spring. Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable liver infection caused by the hepatitis A Virus (HAV). The virus is usually spread through close personal contact with an infected person or through eating contaminated food or drink. Common symptoms of the disease include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, and fever. The best way to prevent hepatitis A is to be vaccinated with the full, two-dose series.
The Health Department, at 209 W. Second, is also accepting walk-ins for COVID-19 vaccines during their normal operating hours. The vaccine is free to any Reno County resident, regardless of citizen status or insurance. Those who receive their vaccine at the Health Department before July 14 will receive a coupon for a Buy One Get One Free show at the Fox Theatre, or a free ice cream cone coupon for Spangles or Bogey’s. For more information, visit www.renogov.org/741/COVID-19 or call 620-694-2900. For a ride to one of the clinics, call RCAT at 620-694-2913.
SUNFLOWER SUMMER PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE FAMILY FIELD TRIPS: Families can download an app to begin educational adventures across Kansas
TOPEKA — A new program will help children stay engaged in learning throughout the summer months while spending quality time with family members and friends touring some of Kansas’ greatest attractions – all for free.
The Sunflower Summer program, which is being funded by federal COVID-19 money to offer summer enrichment activities for Kansas students, is a collaboration between the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE), Kansas Department of Commerce, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund, KU Center for Public Partnerships and Research, and Greenbush Education Service Center.
“This is a win-win for Kansas students and Kansas attractions,” said Commissioner of Education Dr. Randy Watson. “The Sunflower Summer program can help enrich summer learning and is an excellent opportunity for students and families to go on educational adventures together while supporting nearly 70 Kansas attractions.”
Adults can visit sunflowersummer.org to download the Sunflower Summer mobile app to their phone or tablet device. The app is currently available in the Apple App Store. However, the app isn’t available yet in Google Play because of delays in the Google review process. Android users can still utilize the program by filling out a paper form upon arrival at venues. Once Google accepts the app into the Play Store, KSDE will send out a notification.
An adult will need to register their family members and include their county and school district. There are nearly 70 attractions to choose from across the state, including zoos, museums, historic landmarks, libraries and outdoor locations.
Within the Sunflower Summer app is a passport that allows participants to track where they have visited on their adventures.
Once a location has been selected, tickets can be claimed within the app. When attendees are ready to enter, the ticket can be activated and presented to the ticket taker.
Child care facilities also can access and use the app for field trips. However, only one ticket per child and adult can be redeemed at each location. More information and a frequently-asked-questions section are available at www.sunflowersummer.org.
The Sunflower Summer program runs through Aug. 15. Funding for this program is limited, and tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Volleyball camp for middle school and high school will be July 27-29. See the flyer for information on how to sign up!

The Reno County Health Department, 209 W. 2nd, plans to receive a shipment of Pfizer vaccine this week and will open availability to ages 12 and over starting May 20. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) announced last week that Kansas providers could begin offering the vaccine to the younger age group.

For the week ending May 6, children accounted for 24 percent of new cases in the United States, per the American Academy of Pediatrics.
New variants of the strain have been shown to be more easily transmissible, with the UK strain now identified in several cases in Reno County. The Health Department will have extended hours on Thursday, May 20 for vaccinations. RCHD will be open until 8 p.m. and have Pfizer vaccine available for anyone over 12 years of age, and the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson for anyone over 18. No appointment is necessary. Those under 18 will need parent or guardian approval. The Health Department also accepts walk-ins during normal operating hours, which are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The vaccine is FREE, regardless of citizen status or insurance, anywhere it is offered. To check availability of vaccines and locations, visit vaccinefinder.org. For more information on the vaccine, visit www.renogov.org/741/COVID-19. To schedule a FREE ride to and from any of the vaccination sites, call RCAT at 620-694-2913.

KSHSAA voted yesterday that effective Thursday, December 10th, interscholastic activities will allow for attendance of up to two parents/guardians per participant(s) family, as allowed by local board of education or health department restrictions. These two spectators must be a parent or legal guardian and any other people are excluded, including siblings, grandparents, and other family members (unless they are legal guardians.) Also, no matter how many participants there are from one family, that family still only gets 2 parent spectators. This will be in effect for Fairfield basketball games and the Falcon Classic Tournament starting tomorrow, Thursday, December 10th. Masks are still required for attendance.

FMS basketball plays Lyons today at Fairfield. Games will begin at 4:00. We will honor 8th graders between the A team girls and A team boys game.
11/27/20 UPDATE - The situation continues to be serious in our county with 1,030 new virus cases and a PTR of 46.5%. At this point, we plan on having school on Monday and staying in our small cohort groups. If that changes, we will let you know via social media and an ALL CALL. Please do what you can to take action to help control the spread of the COVID virus: #1 Monitor yourself and your children for symptoms and stay home if you are sick or not feeling well. #2 Avoid the three C's (Closed Spaces with poor ventilation, Crowded Spaces, & Close Contact.) #3 Wear a face covering and wear it correctly, over nose and mouth. #4 Wash your hands often and disinfect surfaces regularly. #5 Maintain six feet or more of physical distance from others.
Due to KSHSAA's decision to not allow fans at winter sporting events, we will be holding 8th grade parents' night at the middle school basketball games on Monday, November 30.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Fairfield Family, far and near!
Yesterday KSHSAA decided there will be NO spectators at middle or high school sporting events from December 1, 2020, until January 28, 2021. This doesn’t affect the FMS home games vs. Lyons on Monday, since it’s still in November. We will continue with the 3/4 ticket system for that game to keep fan numbers low. Also another KSHSAA decision was that there will be no sports competitions allowed between December 23, 2020, and January 7, 2021.
All basketball practices today at Fairfield are canceled due to the road conditions.
We had another individual at Fairfield test positive for Covid-19 late last Friday. The person had not been at school since Monday, 11/16/20, so only the individual's family and close contacts have been quarantined. We continue to work closely with the Reno County Health Department to guide us through each situation. Please continue to follow the guidelines to help stop the virus spread.

FROM RENO COUNTY: We need your help to curb the spread of COVID-19, prevent our hospital from being overwhelmed, and protect our neighbors from critical illness! Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, Hutchinson Clinic, the City of Hutchinson, and the Reno County Health Department are asking all Reno County residents to take the COVID Cut-Off 10-Day Challenge, November 4-13.
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!
We remain in the RED Zone with 340 cases and a 21% PTR in Reno County; this excludes prisoner cases. Next week will proceed just as this past week did, with students attending in small cohort groups that do not mix. Thanks to everyone for your support and patience as the uptick in our county’s cases affects schedules and changes plans. We stay committed to keeping our campus safe for our students and employees.

We will be in the RED Zone next week because of the new numbers in Reno County: 259 non-prisoner new, active cases and a Positive Test Rate of 18.9%, for the last 14 days. We expected this to happen based on last week’s numbers, so the BOE discussed and helped plan what would happen this week with our school district, if we continued to NOT instances of cases on our campus.
Here is our plan for next week:
1. All PK-12 students can attend classes on campus ONLY if we keep our students in small, cohort groups. That means that even middle and high schoolers stay with the same small group of students all day. They do not intermingle and do not change classrooms. We did this at FMS and FHS this past week as part of our modified orange. This also means that there will be some rearranging of students in FES classes that are too large. That is being worked on right now.
2. All students will eat lunch in their classrooms, with the exception of Pre-K and Kindergarten. Pre-K will spread out in the cafeteria to eat, while Kindergarten students will eat in the concessions area.
3. There will be no spectators for sports next week. Fortunately we do not have many home games left, but there is a home FHS football game scheduled on Friday, October 23rd. We will broadcast that game for you online, but there will be no spectators allowed on campus. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is being done for safety reasons and to allow the student athletes to play.
4. Sports activities and practices will continue, but only active participants may travel to away games.
5. We will follow the rules of the schools we visit for away games. If they allow spectators, you will be able to attend. We will post details on our social media to inform you.
6. There will continue to be NO AFTER-SCHOOL program.
The majority of our parents and patrons have been supportive, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us through this challenging time. We remain committed to educating children on campus, as long as it is safe to do so. We remain committed to keeping you informed and to being transparent as to what is happening. As of today, we have no positive case among our staff and students, but that could easily change. We will do our best to keep you updated.

Next week there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday due to inservice. Beginning on Tuesday, 10/13/20, Fairfield will transition into the FULL ORANGE stage of our gating criteria. This is due to exponential growth of the virus in Reno County in the past week. We are now at 168 new cases and a positive test rate of 14.7 %, and this number excludes prisoners. What does this mean for USD #310? All students will still be on campus, except those who are already remote learners. The elementary school day will basically look the same. However, the 7th-12th graders will see a schedule change where they will stay in the same room with the same small cohort group throughout the day, following their normal Wednesday schedule. Sports activities will not change because all games are "away" next week so we will follow the home school's rules. This action is recommended by both the RCHD and KSDE as the best way to be able to keep schools open. We are committed to keeping our schools open as long as possible. Thank you for your support and remember to do what you can to help: socially distance, wear a mask, and wash your hands.
Today was finger painting day in our Daycare and we thought you might enjoy some pictures of the fun!
October 4th-10th is National 4-H Week! USD 310 congratulates all students and parents who participate in this program that encourages leadership and personal growth.

If your family would like to join 4-H, please see Mrs. Mathes, Shala Metzger or any current Western Reno County 4-H member!

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.

Para position available. Please see the attachment.
The Kansas Board of Education did not approve Gov. Kelly’s executive order to delay the opening of schools until after Labor Day. The board voted 5 to 5 on the executive order, but a tie means a "NO" vote. When school starts is up to each local school board to decide. SO WHEN DO WE START SCHOOL AT FAIRFIELD? Your Board of Education has previously approved a calendar where school for students starts August 19th, 2020. Our website has all of the current dates. You will get your printed calendars at enrollment in the first week of August. Whether you were for or against this order, we will work together with you for solutions to keep your children safe at school.
Please see the attachment for enrollment information.
Position available. Please see the attachment.
When does school start? Right now it all depends upon several things. First, the Governor will issue an executive order to not start public school classes until after Labor Day. This is supposed to happen today. Secondly, the Kansas State Board of Education will hold a special meeting to discuss, and then either accept/reject the governor's order. It will be broadcast virtually later this week, maybe Wednesday. (3) What happens after that is still being debated . It could eventually end up being the decision of either our County Commissioners or our local school board. We will let you know once we know.
Even though some things are uncertain at this time, one thing is for sure. We are planning on doing what we can to make children and staff safe at school when we do return.

Working alongside of us are the following groups: Reno County Health Department, Kansas Department of Health & Environment, Kansas State Department of Education, Kansas State High School Activities Association, Reno County Superintendent's Council, and the Center for Disease Control. As the plan develops, we will share more with all you. Thanks for your continued support of our district!
There are still plenty of days available students can sign up to help with food packaging and delivery! Students, use this link to sign up for any open days. Remember, only one helper per day. If you use this form to sign up and you help on your assigned day, you do NOT have to fill out a community service form! Bonus!
