Rainy Recesses

Please be aware Fairmount does hold recess on most days. This means your student may get wet. We encourage you to have an extra set of clothing in their backpack as we often do not have appropriate sized items. An extra pair of socks and weatherproof footwear is also recommended.

Important! School Grounds Etiquette

Lately, we have evidence of dogs on our playground. Be advised, pets are not permitted on grounds. The exception is a working service animal. We ask you to spread the word to your friends, family, and neighbors that the Fairmount playground is NOT an acceptable place to use as a dog park.

Spelling Bee Club

Fairmount will hold an all school Spelling Bee competition for grades three through five on February 7, 2025. To qualify for the spelling bee, students will first compete in a classroom spelling bee in January. The winner of each classroom spelling bee advances to the all school spelling bee. Participation is optional.

Students will receive a list of words to study and practice in preparation for their classroom spelling bee. When that list is mastered, students may request a second list with more words to study. Let your child's teacher know if you need the second study guide.

Students may also join Spelling Bee Club to practice and study with other students. Spelling Bee Club will be starting November 19th with Ms. Daley in room 11 before school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30-8:55. Students dropped at the front door may join at 8:40am.

If you have any questions please contact Ms. Daley daleymm@mukilteo.wednet.edu
