All of Fairport CSD’s fourth-grade students have the opportunity to become crime scene investigation agents with help from the Green Machine, an interactive mobile science laboratory. Using the lab’s state-of-the-art technology, students work together as an investigative team to solve a mystery.
Brooks Hill students recently worked on a scenario in which an unidentified,
Four teams representing 12 students from Fairport High School competed against teams from across New York state in the 6th annual Cornell University High School Computer Programming Contest on April 5.
Fairport’s teams are as follows:
Fairport 1
Fairport 2
Fairport 3
Fairport 4
All are currently in AP Computer Science or took the class last year.
Thirteen (13) students in the Fairport High School’s United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) space research course have been selected to present their prototypes to NASA engineers and astronauts at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas in mid-April.
The following students and teachers will travel to Houston April 15:

Sarah Dawson’s third-grade class at Northside, or the “Awesome Dawsons,” recently presented their animal research using Google Slides to their Dudley first-grade buddies in Erica Santoro’s class.
Students concluded their ELA study of polar habitats with a culminating activity in which students chose animals to research and learn more about.
Northside School was buzzing with activity and excitement as hundreds of families attended the school’s 5th annual Family STEM Night on February 28. Attendees experienced Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) exhibits run by community members, businesses and Northside parents and teachers.
Throughout the evening, attendees rotated through 24 stations offering interactive demonstrations ranging from exploring light optics,
Students in the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program at Fairport High School (FHS) completed a mid-year review of their projects on February 27. The process determines which projects will be selected to attend the final review at Johnson Space Center in Houston this upcoming spring.
It is a great time to be a part of Fairport Robotics.
The high school team is coming off of its most successful year ever including a trip to the world competition. Robotics opportunities are also available for students in elementary and middle school. And it’s not just robots the extracurricular builds,
The education of Dudley Elementary School kindergartners recently went beyond the walls of the building and to a local farm for a lesson in agriculture and farming.
Students visited Chase Farms as a field trip to enrich and support their classroom lessons. Kindergartners were able to watch as Chase Farms Farmer Bob Chase harvested potatoes and learn about the farming industry firsthand.
Architect Edmund Bacon once said, “It’s in the doing that the idea comes.” There is plenty of doing and ideas in the Northside Elementary HACK Lab.
Travis Wood welcomes third- through fifth-graders into this makerspace for hands-on, age-appropriate activities that engages students’ creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
HACK Lab stands for (Northside) Heroes Actively Construct Knowledge.
