This partnership connects the school with the family and community through ongoing needs-based workshops and other community outreach programs. Community resources are tapped to gain support for the success of each student. Varied activities and celebrations are continuous to encourage parent/family involvement.

Families, schools, community agencies, and the school district must work as a team in a collegial and collaborative atmosphere to provide for the emotional, intellectual, physical, and psychological needs of each child. All team members are expected to follow existing policies to ensure that the needs of all children are met. With this long history of parent and community support, we at Fairlawn can say, “We succeed because of YOU!”
