Dear Families:
We are looking forward to our return to full-time, five days a week of in-person instruction for all K-12 staff and students this fall. Over the next several weeks we are enthusiastically anticipating the return to school activities and the start of the fall interscholastic sports season.
Monroe County superintendents have advocated for local control of reopening decisions. Regional factors like community transmission and vaccination rates, along with the effectiveness of layered mitigation strategies, may influence a school district’s return to school plans. While the Fairport CSD hopes to have some flexibility and discretion moving forward, districts are obligated to follow all guidelines as directed by the state.
There are more big changes underway at Fairport High School. Over the past week, crews with Campus Construction and Labella Associates continued to demolish second floor classrooms overlooking the South courtyard. Demolition work also continued on the North courtyard and the cafeteria and kitchen. Meanwhile, the new stadium turf was laid in and crews wrapped up the final grading for the stadium field subbase.
The Fairport Board of Education announces the resignation of Board Member Mr. Tim Slisz effective July 30, 2021.

A Fairport alumna is shining a light on some of those who have suffered most during the COVID-19 pandemic: health care workers. Julia Maddalina, a 2014 Fairport High School graduate, is the artist behind Portraits of the Frontline, a series of 100 paintings showing the faces of health care workers.
Demolition got underway in some of the second floor classrooms at Fairport High School during the week of July 19 as part of the 2019 voter-approved Fairport Forward Capital Improvement Project. There was also clean-up in some kitchen and cafeteria areas, while crews from Campus Construction and Labella Associated prepared cafeteria A for demolition.
Major demolition work continues in the halls of Fairport High School as the 2019 voter-approved Fairport Forward Capital Improvement Project moves through this phase of construction. During the week of July 12, crews with Campus Construction and Labella Associates demolished cafeterias B and C, and completed the temporary lunch line setup in the gym.
