This week is Digital Citizenship Week!

Wilder has worked hard to support our students in gaining the skills and strategies needed to be a successful digital citizen during the opening of our virtual nine weeks. Students have worked on digital citizenship lessons with their Advisory teachers during the month of September and beginning of October. Our work with digital citizenship will continue as we move through the 2020-2021 school year.

The digital world is sometimes confusing and hard to navigate, but don’t worry, we are here to help! We wanted to share some great resources to support your family at the start of this year’s Digital Citizenship Week. Click on the DCW icon to check out the resources.

Ready to explore the IB Middle Years Program at Fairfield Middle School? 

Join the FMS Falcons virtually this Thursday, October 15^th, between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. for their annual IB Open House.

Use this Open House link as early as today to view videos about IB and FMS, leave us questions you’d like answered during the event, and access resources like our fall newsletter.  Save the page because it includes Thursday evening’s schedule, and the links to each IB subject session listed will go live at 5:10 p.m. that night.   The schedule and links will also be available on Fairfield’s website:  https://fairfield.henricoschools.us/

Explore IB during one of their two duplicate, one-hour sessions that begin at 5:30 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m.  If those times don’t fit your Thursday schedule, the evening has been designed so you can jump in to start your visit anytime between 5:30 and 6:30 and still have the full experience.  Guests who logon after 6:30 will still be able to participate in a condensed experience that ends at 7:30.

The FMS team can’t wait to showcase IB with you!
