Liya Mei, a senior at Fairview and member of the National Honor Society, has been selected as a recipient for the National Honor Society Scholarship! This selection is made in recognition of outstanding achievement in the pillars of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character.

In the 100+ years since NHS was founded in 1921, members have been making a difference in their schools and communities, and the NHS Scholarship is NASSP’s way of recognizing the most exceptional of these student leaders.

The flu season (and other nasty viruses) is upon us. Here is a quick refresher for when to keep

your student home. Remember, the Colorado Department of Health is still recommending for confirmed Covid cases the student remain home for 5 days of isolation and then wear a mask

for 5 days after returning to school.

BVSD is not enforcing this or following up on any reports of cases, this is just best practice. For any other illness, the policy is the same as it has always been. Click here for information on when to keep your student home.

Dear Fairview Family,

The Honors Office and School Store parent coordinators hope that you all had a wonderful winter break! Many thanks to the volunteers who helped in the FHS Snack Store last semester.

A huge THANK YOU for all your help--Happy New Year!
