CJD Parents: Middle school students are not allowed to report to the high school after school unless with an authorized adult for after school activities. If caught, it will be considered trespassing.

CJD Parents: We are strictly enforcing the policy that students that arrive after 8:15 am daily must be signed in by their guardian. They can not be dropped off. Additionally, this should only occur if there is a valid reason. We need all students here on time so they do not fall behind academically and to limit truancy in our building. Don't forget students with no absences, tardies, check-in and checkouts this week will be invited to a party on Friday!! Thank you in advance for your support.

Career Day at C. J. Donald Middle School will take place on March 20th, and we are still in need of volunteers to come in and speak with our students. See the attached flyer for details.

CJD there is no tutoring this week. We will start NEXT Tuesday, 1/13. Please pick up your child at the regular scheduled time this week. Secondly, all car riders should be picked up on time daily at 3:15 pm. Students can't be in the building after 3:30 pm because there is no supervision at this time due to the building being closed. Thus, please make appropriate arrangements. If an emergency occurs that prevents timely pickup, call the school asap to notify us of the late pickup. Students in violation will receive a letter with potential consequences. Thank you in advance for helping to keep our school safe!

A Spark for the Season ✨ As we head into Winter Break, we're taking a moment to reflect on the light shining across Fairfield City Schools, from our classrooms to our community partnerships. At Glen Oaks Intermediate, Counselor Jenequa Winston and student Walter King remind us that just one spark of encouragement can ignite a culture of confidence and academic growth. 💡 We're also seeing the power of investment and belief in action: ✅ $269,104.77 allocated from Jefferson County’s school tax fund, marked simply and beautifully: “For our children’s futures.” ✅ $25,000 Sports Matter grant awarded to Fairfield Prep’s boys basketball team by the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation These aren’t just dollars, they’re votes of confidence in our students and the future we’re building together. 💛 As we close the semester, let’s continue protecting that future with wellness and digital safety. Review updates, rest well, and return focused. 🌟 Thank you for being the spark that makes this work powerful. Warmest wishes for a joyful and restorative holiday season. #FairfieldCitySchools #FCSForward #StudentSuccess #SparkAward #CommunityInvestment #SportsMatter #DigitalWellness #HolidaySeason #ThankYou #FairfieldParents #FCSD #FairfieldSchools #AlabamaSchools #K12Education #FairfieldTigers #SchoolLife #ParentingInFairfield #CommunitySchools #StudentSuccess #FairfieldFamily #SchoolEvents #FairfieldAL #BackToSchoolFairfield #EducationMatters #FutureLeaders #FairfieldStudents #ParentPower #SchoolPartnership #HomeOfOurTigers
