How You Can Support Fairmont:
Become a school volunteer! As of 2025, the district has a new volunteer process (Verkada) that no longer requires fingerprinting but does require state identification or consulate card. If you have a badge from 2024 or earlier, you will need to be cleared through the new system.
Donate today and your money helps support field trips, music and theater classes, puberty and health education classes, access to a working garden that kids participate, learn, and enjoy, assemblies, classroom supplies, and more! Students deserve equal access to experiences like field trips, ensuring every student can participate in the arts — music, visual arts, theater, updated and relevant library books — and your donation makes that possible!
Join the PTA! Your support of our Parent/Teacher Association supports the priorities identified by our families and teachers as well as gives you a voice to vote about how our budget supports our school.
