Fairview Elementary Arts Information Night - Thursday, April 4th
Do you have a child who enjoys the arts and will be an elementary student next school year? If so, please join us at Fairview Elementary School on Thursday, April 4th at 6:00p.m.

Fairview enhances student learning through an arts-integrated approach. This information night will provide an opportunity to meet the Fairview administrators and some of the Fairview teachers. The meeting will be followed by a tour of the school, which will include seeing the spaces that are dedicated specifically for arts instruction. Children are welcome to join you if you choose to take them.

All elementary students in MCCSC will have a chance to submit an Arts Transfer Request to attend Fairview and take advantage of the unique opportunities that are offered. Transportation will be provided for students who are approved to attend Fairview on an Arts Transfer. For more information about Fairview’s arts-integrated approach to learning, please visit the webpage here!
