Bienvenidos! Welcome to Fairmount Elementary School! Our Spanish Immersion school is tucked in between Chenery, Randall Streets and the end of Dolores Street in a unique setting of classroom pods, three playgrounds and trees and plants. Our hallmark is that we are a very involved community of staff, students and parents. Our community works together at every level—in and around the classroom; within parent associations; amongst staff, students and parents and that makes Fairmount an exciting place to be. Due to our strong partnerships, we can support each other and provide an enriching curriculum. Please come for a visit!

At Fairmount, everyone works toward their potential. Teachers at Fairmount support students regardless of their differences and learning styles. Fairmount is a school where teachers have high expectations for their students and for themselves and where people feel respected and honored. Here, we welcome students as well as their families. Teachers at Fairmount provide families with accurate information and support to help them find new ways to support their children at home based on their learning styles and interests. All of this happens without losing perspective of the concrete results we have to see in reading, writing, math and all other academic areas.

At Fairmount, respect for other people, senses of community and tradition is a strong part of our school culture. One way that is demonstrated and taught, is through the TRIBES agreement, whose goal is "to assure the healthy development of every child so that each one has the knowledge, skills and resiliency to be successful".

TRIBES is taught to students, staff and parents in classrooms, on the playground, at the morning community circle, and at PTA meetings.

TRIBES is a process, a way to establish a positive culture for learning throughout the school community. Fairmount is known for its strong community; many feel that this comes from the school's dedication to TRIBES as a way to help students understand each other and work through any problems that may come up.
