About Fairmont
Built in 1924, Fairmont Elementary School serves primarily the families in the Historic Baker Neighborhood. The education of our students is the most important factor in the Fairmont community. We place special emphasis on a loving, supportive atmosphere where students have a feeling of success. We have a strong language-enriched curriculum with an emphasis on ESL strategies. We are a Title I school participating in a Collaborative Literacy Program to increase our students' achievement through staff development and program implementation in literacy. Our most recent changes include the development of Fairmont as a Dual Language School. We are currently offering Dual Language instruction at ECE, Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2. Fairmont has been fortunate to create several partnerships to assist in the education of our students. We have instituted several tutoring programs with local businesses and other schools to increase student achievement. The AmeriCorps project assists with ESL classes for parents as well as providing tutoring, classes and clubs for students. The Ford Foundation is working with Fairmont and other schools in the area to increase reading, writing and research skills using district standards. Our Partnership with The University of Colorado at Denver provides us with updated staff development techniques used with University and Fairmont staff. |
