A Message From Dr. Deborah M. Vereen, Principal:
"A school can create an environment so potent that for at least six hours a day it can
overrride everything else in the lives of children".

On behalf of the entire Fairless Intermediate School community, greetings and welcome to the 2008-2009 school year.
Approximately 320 children attend our highly diverse school. All of our teachers and staff members work together with our parents and community as "A Team Committed To Excellence" to make the educational experience as positive and dynamic as possible for our children. Additionally, our learners are vital to that process. As a result, we all "Ride The Fairless W.A.V.E. (We All Value Education)".
Children enrolled in grades four, five, and six attend Fairless Intermediate School. The mission of our school "...is dedicated to educating students in a standards driven, child centered, nurturing learning environment where high expectations are maintained for each learner...". Teachers use the very best instructional practices in order to service the learning needs of each of our students. Our support staff contribute to that process. Various guidance services provided within our school function to support individualized student needs. The variety of student incentive programs help to celebrate student success as well as to encourage our learners to excel academically and to make positive educational choices. Our unique child-oriented activities make learning fun at school.
We encourage parents to continue to be active participants in their child's education, especially by participating in the variety of events at Fairless. Our school calendar provides parents with the dates of these wonderful opportunities. The Resource Center at our school also provides parents with many different supports that will assist them in their daily lives. Be sure to listen for details about the opening of the Fairless Parent Resource Room. We will be working very hard to servicing some of your family needs right here at school!
Please feel free to notify me or the school to schedule a conference to meet with us as needed. Very helpful resource materials are available below for your careful review. Thank you.
