Falcon Family News: Aug 17, 2026

Welcome Back Falcon Families,

I’m very excited to begin my second year here at Fairview. I hope you have enjoyed your summer time with your family and friends. Our Tebo Family Summer was full of adventures and quality time together. 

As we return to our Falcon Family here at Fairview, I wanted to send out a first message with some details about upcoming events. I also wanted to send out a message to reiterate our dedication to helping students live a more balanced lifestyle with technology. To achieve this, we have made a modification to our Cellphone and Chromebook Policies. Starting for the 2026-27 School Year, students will be expected to have their cellphones turned off and put away in their backpacks, for the entire school day. In addition, Chromebooks will be kept in backpacks until teachers ask for them to be used. Please see details of these changes in the section below as well as the reasoning behind these changes. We appreciate your support in helping our students build healthy technology habits.

The office is now open M-F, from 7:15am-2:45pm. If you have questions, or need to drop off an item, call or drop by school, and we’d be happy to help you.

Please check out all the sections below for valuable information on the first days of school, Sports Physicals here at FMS, Falcon Fever, 6th Grade Orientation Web Day, and much more. Thanks for your support…we can’t wait to get this year started.

Have a great week,

Mr. Tebo

This year starts differently for many reasons. First, students will arrive before September, with the first official school day being on Monday, Aug 31st. 

For the first three days, Aug 31-Sept 2, students will attend school from 7:25am-10:30pm. We will have assemblies, team building activities, and talk expectations with students.  

Sept 3rd is a regular Early Release Thursday (7:25am-12:30pm) and Friday, Sept 4th is a full day of school (7:25am-2:05pm).

We want students to learn how to have a healthy balance with technology (cellphones and Chromebooks) in their lives. Both of these technology devices tend to get in the way of authentic and real life social interactions. To help promote a healthier use of both cellphones and Chromebooks, we are making some changes called “Off and Away All Day”.

To gather more details about the why behind this change and other important information, please read this document

This Friday, Aug 21st, we have an excellent opportunity for your child to complete their sports physical here at Fairview. These physicals will be offered by Peninsula Community Health, from 9am-3pm. To make an appointment please look at this flyer. These sports physicals, along with completed Final Forms, are required to participate in sports here at Fairview.

On Aug 27th, Falcon Fever will be the first big school event. From 4-6:30pm, hot dogs will be served, schedules will be available, there will be time to meet teachers. Since this will also be our Open House, you can explore the school. All are welcome! Please come join in the fun.

On Aug 28th, we’ll be inviting all of our new 6th Graders to Fairview for our Orientation called 

Falcon Web Day. This event, which runs 8-11:30am, will give our new 6th graders a chance to learn Fairview, have some fun playing games, and get guidance from our 7th/8th Grade Web Student Leaders. Parents can drop off their students and pick them up at the front. 

There will also be buses for those parents needing transportation for their students. 

Bus 1 will pick up students at Cottonwood at 7:35am and Woodlands at 7:45am, with an arrival of 7:50am at Fairview. 

Bus 2 will pick up students at Esquire Hills at 7:25am, Cottage Bay Apts at 7:30am, and PineCrest at 7:40am, with a 7:50am arrival at Fairview. 

Both buses will depart Fairview at 11:30am and drop off students in the same order back at the elementary schools.

Families can sign up at https://centralkitsap-wa.finalforms.com/ . Students will use their school email for their student account. For incoming 6th grade families, these emails have been activated and students can sign in through Google. You can upload physicals in FinalForms or bring them in the first day of school. We will have people to help with registration during the Falcon Fever event on August 27th. Fastpitch and Track and Field start September 3rd. Cheer tryouts will start on September 21st. Be on the look out for a coaches communication coming out around the final week of August. Email - Stephanie Morales, Stephaniemo@Ckschools.org or Anthony Gowdy, anthonyg@ckschools.org for assistance

We really want to offer Choir 1 here at Fairview for 6th Graders. If you have a 6th Grader interested in singing and Choir, please contact the office (360) 662-2600. We are really close to reaching numbers to offer this course, so please call the office if your child is interested.
