Fairlands Rd, Hayward, CA 94541

My child joined the Fairview community February 2020 just weeks prior to Covid. The pandemic was a difficult transition not just for my then second grader but for the educator as well. The virtual academic environment was often hostile and led with frustration and disorganization. My student got to the point of crying every morning and exhibiting anxious behaviors knowing that learning hours were approaching. Since school has returned to in person the schools leadership has proven to be unstable with at least three changes amongst principals and assistant principals. Students are not held accountable for their violent and aggressive behaviors. Teachers and staff are insensitive and disrespectful. There is a disconnect between administration, staff, and parents. The students behavior and conduct are completely out of control and the only measure of discipline and restorative action is simply a verbal apology. My student has fallen behind academically and despite receiving additional services beyond campus they struggle with exceeding expectations while testing and reflecting curriculum. The sole highlight of the schools community is the art department Ms. Dixon has been the most consistent and positive outlet for the students throughout my experience with Fairview. I also appreciate the social emotional supports provided through community partners.
