Absence Procedures

To report an absent child, call the school office or email us using this Absence Reporting Form.

The buses will load in the front parking lot and are supervised by school faculty/staff.

Attendance is mandatory on snowy days when school is open, but there is no yellow bus service. Parents/guardians should have a back-up transportation plan in place to avoid unexcused absences.

Student behavior that distracts bus drivers is a hazard to the vehicle's safe operation, and jeopardizes the safety and welfare of all passengers. Misbehavior while on a yellow school bus or a Metro bus can result in disciplinary action for the student or the suspension of transportation service for the student.

Read more about our requirements for student behavior on buses.

Fairvew has developed a code of behaviors and expectations which complies with Cincinnati Board of Education policies. The information will be available in the Student and Parent Handbooks.

Review CPS' Code of Conduct for disciplinary procedures.

Snow days and school delays are announced on our website, local TV and radio stations, CPS' mobile app, and through automated phone calls. Assume school is open unless you hear otherwise.

Learn more about CPS' severe weather and emergency closing procedures.

We welcome visits from parents and guardians. However, to protect student safety, all visitors must sign in at the main office and wear a visitor's badge. Parents/guardians who would like a conference with their child's teacher must schedule an appointment with the teacher.
