OCTOBER’s Character Matters- RESPONSIBILITY
Celebrating Success Our school year has started off very positively with students and staff working hard to establish classroom and school routines. We value our learning environment and the respect that we have for each other. Our staff and students show that every day in all that they do.
Thank you to everyone who attended our school’s Open House. The halls and classrooms were filled with excitement as the hard work of our students was on display for all to enjoy. We were able to raise a total of $2400.00 in book credits from Scholastic for our school library! A special thank you goes to our School Council for their work in organizing this event, and to all our caretaking, teaching and support staff who worked extra hard to make this evening a success.

Orange Shirt Day – Friday, September 28th
Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in the spring of 2013. It grew out of Phyllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools. Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
EQAO Results – 2017-2018
Congratulations to our students, staff and parents for all of their work in preparing our students to show what they know!
Our Grade 3 results show a slight decline in our averages for reading, writing and math. For our participating students, the majority of students who did not achieve provincial standard did score at a Level 2. For our Grade 6 learners, who wrote EQAO for the first time in their academic career, there were a number of students who were unable to fully participate and this affected the overall reporting. For the participating students, many achieved provincial standards particularly in reading and writing. We have much work to do particularly in the area of mathematics. We continue to be committed to providing a learning environment that is supportive and academic programs that challenge our students to demonstrate their abilities.
Individual reports will be sent home once we receive them.
Honour Roll Fairwood students continue to work hard to achieve excellent results! To be on the Academic Honour Roll, students must achieve an average in all subjects of 80% or higher. To be on the Learning Skills Honour Roll, students must achieve an Excellent in at least five of the six categories, with the other mark no lower than a G. Set some goals and remember to use your agenda to keep track of your assignments and work!

Healthy Snacks/Lunches/Birthday Celebrations
Fairwood is an shellfish/nut/peanut safe school. To support a safe and positive school for all, parents are asked to NOT send food containing shellfish, peanuts and nut related products to school with your child. Parents are asked to please consider healthy, nutritious snacks and birthday treats such as
fruit, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers instead of donuts, cakes and candy. Math Facts Math is part of our everyday life! One of the most important ways that you can help your child with math is to encourage them to practise their math facts. Being able to quickly recall one’s math facts are important because they: form the building blocks for higher-level math concept; develop proportional reasoning; and build confidence in one’s math ability. Please see below for the basic Number Sense and Numeration expectations by grade from the Ontario Curriculum. Please know that these are END OF YEAR expectations which will be reported on in June. Math Basics ~ Number Sense Gr. 1 - adding and subtracting numbers to 20 Gr. 2 - adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with and without regrouping Gr. 3 - adding and subtracting three digit-numbers; one-digit multiplication (up to 7x7) and division (up to 49/7) Gr. 4 – adding and subtracting four-digit numbers; adding & subtracting decimals to tenths; one-digit multiplication (up to 9x9) and division (up to 81/9); multiply and divide two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers Gr. 5 – multiply two-digit numbers by two-digit numbers; divide three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers; multiply decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000 & 10,000; divide decimal numbers by 10 & 100 Gr. 6 – multiply and divide four-digit numbers by two-digit numbers; add & subtract decimal numbers to thousandths; multiply and divide decimal numbers to tenths; relationships between fractions, decimals, percents and ratios
