Please Don't Block The Buses! 🚌
We have been having problems recently with drop-off and pick-up traffic blocking accessibility to the south (staff) entrance area, making it difficult for our buses to arrive and depart on time. This is a primary area for buses serving our students with special needs. ALL parent/guardian drop-off and pick-up traffic should utilize the main driveway, not this area. Thank you for your cooperation!

Recent Anti-Spam Changes:
Recently many cell phone and email providers have implemented additional anti-spam and anti-phishing measures to help protect customers. This has come with unintended consequences of some school communications being blocked by the carriers. In order to help prevent this we recommend adding 203-312-5692 to your phone's contact list as "New Fairfield Public Schools Alerts" and "No-reply@newfairfieldschools.org" to your email contacts. It may also be beneficial to add your child's homeroom teacher to your email contacts as well.
For the safety of your children and the safety of our staff, it is important that you remember to bring your ID when you come to enter the building or pick up your child. Per policy, without it we will not be able to allow you to enter the building. We appreciate your support and understanding.
