We are also excited to welcome our new principal, Brent Caldwell, and our assistant principals, Katie McGee, Richard Elkind, and Cora Lanter, who also serves as our Athletics Director. We look forward to their leadership, collaboration, and commitment to supporting our students and staff throughout the year.

Please follow the yellow signs designated for pick up and drop off. Do not block our school buses. Thank you!

 

 

 

Lockers 26/27      

High School lockers are only provided to students who sign up for one. Secure your own locker for the school year if you wish to have one. Our locker registration form will be available on August 5th to ensure you have a designated space for your belongings.

All lockers are shared with one other student in your grade. Please consider a close friend in your grade, or we will assign a locker partner for you.

 

Forms for Medications

Hello Knights and parents, welcome back to the 25-26 school year. Here is some information for any students that will have meds at school. This includes epipens and asthma inhalers. Attached are the forms you will need to fill out and have your provider sign. Return the forms to the health room. We encourage high schoolers to self-carry epipens and inhalers so they can be used as soon as possible in an emergency situation. You can call me, Paula Waldhoff, Nurse with any questions at (720)561-3337 or Judy Stephens, Health Room Para at (720)561-3336.

8-Period Day and Advisory Updates

Fairview High School will continue our 8-period day with Advisory this year, but a few adjustments have been made in order to honor student, parent, and staff requests.

The schedule is designed to support academic success, strengthen relationships between students and staff, and provide dedicated time for college and career readiness, social-emotional learning, and community building.

We heard your concerns about the lack of access to teachers and finding common time for FHS clubs to meet.

Our new Bell Schedule includes a common block lunch on Wednesdays and Thursdays that will allow access to teachers and provide the ability for clubs to meet during the school day.

This year, Advisory will have students in only one grade level (rather than mixed grades). Freshmen will be with freshmen, sophomores will be with sophomores, etc., and we are excited about addressing grade-level needs.

Advisory will be scheduled on Thursday mornings from 8:30–9:30 and will include increased time for students to connect with teachers.

Additionally, the Wednesday/Thursday schedule is now in chronological order: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 2, 4, 6, 8. There is also designated time for teachers to meet with students during Office Hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays during 5th and 6th periods.

Thank you for your continued partnership and feedback in meeting students' scheduling needs!

 
 

Chromebook Policy for Incoming FHS

As a 1:Web school, we ask all future FHS students to not purchase their own personal computer, but instead wait to receive a new Chromebook from BVSD when they enter 9th grade.

Benefits of having a BVSD-issued Chromebook include:

Security: students will be able to be on the most secure BVSD network we offer (all outside devices use an open “Guest” network)

Testing: students must have a BVSD chromebook for testing (PSAT, SAT, CMAS, AP, IB, and most class exams all require a BVSD device

Curriculum: classroom assignments and resources are accessible on chromebooks (and aren’t always compatible with other devices)

Chromebook Repairs: repairs for broken Chromebooks can be completed quickly through our school and district services (students can bring their Chromebook to the library to get it repaired).

Families will be charged an annual fee* through Infinite Campus that can be paid any time within the fall semester, along with other school fees. All families who qualify for free/reduced lunch will have this fee waived.

Please contact Fairview Librarian Kim.Butler@bvsd.org if you have any questions.

*Prices vary based on market value of the item when issued, but are usually around $67 per year.

 

Senior Parking Permits

Senior Parking permits will be available for purchase starting on August 6th at 9 am. There will be an Application form available on the Parking Page starting at 9:00 AM. Fill out the Application form and pay for the permit in Rev Track. The first 300 seniors to do both tasks will receive their senior parking permit on August 20 or 21, when they are distributed in the senior lot.

After we have 300 seniors signed up, the document will no longer be accessible. After this happens, we will start a paper waitlist sign-up in the main office.

 

 

 

 

Attendance

Welcome back, Knights! We are excited to kick off another great school year. Regular attendance and arriving on time help students stay connected, engaged, and successful. Every class period matters, and we appreciate your partnership in making attendance a priority.

If your student will be absent or late, please notify the Attendance Office as soon as possible. Parents and guardians can report absences by calling the Attendance Line at 720-561-5352 or by submitting an absence through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Please note that attendance updates may take 48- 72 hours to process, and automated attendance calls may still occur during that time.

Please provide a note if your student is absent due to a doctor's appointment or another appointment that issues documentation to excuse the absence for the day or class period.

Please note that we do not call students out of class for pickups or deliveries. If you plan to pick up your student early or need to drop off an item, please communicate those plans with your student ahead of time.

Students who become ill during the school day must report to the Health Office before leaving campus. The Health Office will contact a parent or guardian if a student needs to go home.

For complete attendance procedures, excused absence information, pre-arranged absences, and frequently asked questions, please visit the Fairview High School Attendance webpage.

 

 

Accessing My.BVSD.org and Infinite Campus

Students can use My.BVSD.org for Single Sign-On access to Gmail, Infinite Campus, Schoology, and more. If you were enrolled in a BVSD school last year, your login credentials remain the same.

Guardians who haven't yet created an Infinite Campus Portal account should check their email for an Activation Key, which may be in the Promotions or Spam folder. If you didn’t receive it, please contact our Registrar, Staci Sena, at staci.sena@bvsd.org for support.

No Supply List for Fairview: Teachers Will Provide Details on Class Needs

Fairview does not have a school supply list. When students meet with teachers they will inform students what they will need for each class.

 

 

 

School Hours 

Fairview High School operates from 8:35 am to 3:55 pm, Monday through Friday. Students can enter the building starting at 8:00 am with their student ID badge, but cannot enter after 4:00 pm using their badge.

The main office is open and accessible from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.

 

 

 

 
 

Cafeteria

Children need nutritious food to learn. The Boulder Valley School District offers nutritious meals every school day. Your children may qualify to receive free or reduced price meals. In many cases, eligibility for these federal school meal funds and programs is tied to the number of students who qualify for meal benefits. Even though meals are free, it is still very important that families complete the Free and Reduced Price Meal application, as it can waive or reduce fees district-wide for families, can impact transportation for some families, and impacts important funding for individual schools.

Visit food.bvsd.org/meals-nutrition/free-reduced-meals for information on applying for the Free and Reduced Price Meal Program.
