7 New Sign-In System at Fairview Our new sign in system is provided by Ident-a-kid! To get started, please bring your drivers license into the office to sign up! You only need to bring it once and then you will be set up in the system. Our new system will print a visitors or volunteer badge for you to wear down the hall. It also operates as our new student check in/check out system. Please come to the office if dropping off a tardy student or picking a student up early. This system also helps identify any predators that should not be in our building before they go down the hall. It is a great tool for keeping track of who is in the building and also who is picking up/dropping off children. Thank you for your cooperation in our new system. Change is hard but safety comes first. Thank you for helping to keep our school safe!

8 Staff Spotlight for October Mr. Parker 5th Grade Hometown: Southampton, United Kingdom Favorite type of food: Hands down, Sushi! Favorite elementary school teacher: Mr Choudry, who now lives in Australia and still teaches! He often messages me on Social Media, just to check-in with how my career is going! Where you went to college/university: University of Plymouth in Southwest England. I studied for a Bachelors of Education and gained a First Class Honours degree. Why did you become a teacher? I love being the reason why students enjoy coming to school. The future of this world is in my classroom today, and that inspires me to always give my everything in order to develop and enhance the students skills. City you want to visit the most: Having visited and lived in many countries across Asia and Europe, the city that is very high up on my bucket list is Rio de Janerio! Would love to go and watch a Brazil National team game at the Maracana and then watch the famous Carnival! Favorite thing to do outside of school: I love researching and organizing my next travels! I m always on Skyscanner searching for my next adventure. This Summer, I m researching my trip to Colombia, Panama, Belize and Mexico!! Most rewarding part of being a teacher: That "oooooh" look on a student's face when they finally get a concept! That s what I live and work hard for! Favorite sport/team to watch on TV: Soccer! I m a huge fan of Southampton, a team in the Premier League. I spend my Saturdays watching the coverage of the Premier League, as it makes me feel like I m a home. Silliest fact about you: I cannot stay awaked during a trip to the movies! Regardless of what film it is, how much is the ticket I will always FALL ASLEEP. I once paid $25 for a ticket with reclining seats and 5 minutes into the movie I was counting sheep! I can t tell you the amount of times I ve woken up reading the credits of the film.
