FANTASTIC FRIDAY!


  • Happy end of 3rd quarter!  Whoop

  • 1/2 Day on Monday, March 25!  Busses will run at noon.  Parent/Teacher conferences will take place in the afternoon.  If your teacher didn't contact you, there is no concern for your child.  If, however, you want a conference, please contact Terria in the office!

  •  School will run a FULL day on Wednesday!  Easter vacation is Thursday, Friday and Monday with school resuming on Tuesday, April, 2nd!

  • Junior High Track will start on April 2nd after school.  Mr. Tacke is sending a note home today!  6th-8th graders are eligible.  Remember that you need to have a physical, training rules and pay to play!  Contact Terria in the office if you have questions!  
With all this March Madness, this article provides a different inspirational twist to the idea!


STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • A history teacher started using a "March Madness" style tournament to involve students
  • William Bennett says Josh Hoekstra injected excitement into history
  • Students were required to pick the person they think best embodies courage in U.S. history
  • Bennett: Hoekstra prepares his students for more than a test; he prepares them for life

Wacky Wednesday

Science Fair kiddos did an exceptional job at the State Science Fair~Kudos~

Good Luck to Madison Gordon as she represents Fairfield Elementary and Junior High at the State Spelling Bee in Billings this weekend!!!!!!!!!

Spring has sprung and so has short shorts and tank top season. Eek....please do not send your child to school in any type of tank top. It needs to have sleeves and please allow out of the house shorts that are appropriate. Staff has been instructed that if they don't deem it appropriate the child will be asked to change. Now I know that there are these lovely one sleeve on the shoulder and the other off or with a spaghetti strap, please leave those for the summer months. We hate to be the clothes police but let's use some common sense even it looks cute on your younger student, it just doesn't work for us! Thanks for policing your own children in this matter! Also along those lines there still will be snowy days that require the proper clothing.....boots, hats, gloves, snowpants, etc. Make the playground attendants job easy and do your job by sending the proper clothing!
