    Dear Fairfield Area Community:

    Welcome to the Fairfield Area School District where we are steadfast in our focus of empowering tomorrow’s leaders…one Knight at a time!  This focus resonates across multiple facets of our school system.  It begins with our comprehensive academic programs and our district’s mission, Students First! where our students are engaged in learning, empowered to be career and college ready, and educated to make a difference.  Our focus is further fostered through our meaningful extra-curricular programs and activities and culminates with our students honing their skills and developing into our Profile of a Graduate.
    Our district is committed to continuous improvement, and we have identified the following four (4) goals, beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, to assist us in fulfilling our mission:

    1. Establishing a culture of learning where 80% of our students are at grade level through core instruction:
        • Data-informed instruction
        • Integration of Profile of a Graduate Skills, K-12
        • Daily active student engagement in learning for ALL students
        • Consistent & pervasive use of research-based instructional practices 
    2. Improve daily student attendance to 90%
    3. Safety, Security & Mental Health
        • Care Solace
        • School-Based Therapy
        • MTSS/Early Warning Systems
    4. Communication
        • Timely
        • Informative
        • Clear

    I welcome you to join us at our many programs, events, and activities throughout the year.  I ask for your continued support of the Board of School Directors, administration, and teachers as we continue to transform and grow the learning opportunities available to our students. I am excited to continue to support our students as they sharpen their skills and attributes within our Profile of a Graduate.  Together, we will prepare our students for career, college, and life in a competitive world.

    Go Knights!
