It is with great honor and privilege to serve as Principal of Fairmount Elementary. With over 30 years in education spanning across three states from being a classroom teacher to an instructional coach and content leader, Assistant Principal, and now Principal, I am truly humbled to be a part of this compassionate and dedicated school community.
Fairmount is a special place for all students. Our staff is committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. We aim to foster a love of learning, critical thinking skills, and a sense of responsibility among our students.
We understand the vital role parents and guardians play in a student’s education. We value your partnership and encourage open communication. One way to quickly become involved is by joining our PTO. Our staff and PTO work hard to plan school-wide events that enhance the strong sense of community at Fairmount. Information about the PTO and other volunteer opportunities can be found in the weekly publication of our ENews.
We look forward to meeting and working alongside you throughout your child’s educational journey. It’s a great time to be a Falcon!
As a District focused on continuous improvement, each of our 23 schools develops a site-based school improvement plan every year. The plan outlines the goals and actions the building plans to take throughout the year to improve various areas of performance.
A pyramid of intervention is a tiered approach to prevention and intervention strategies to support students both academically and behaviorally. The pyramid uses a variety of strategies and techniques to help all students stay on the right track. The foundation of the pyramid offers Tier 1 supports for all students. Tier 2 interventions provide additional support for smaller groups of students who need more targeted help. Tier 3 provides the most intensive supports for individual students when Tier 1 and 2 interventions have been unsuccessful. Our schools review and update their pyramid on a regular basis to ensure new strategies are incorporated and all are aligned with best practice.
The Falcon Way - We are safe, respectful, responsible leaders who are lifelong learners.
