The Cheer Clinic presented by the Fairbury Jeffs Cheerleaders is quickly approaching! Forms went home to elementary students last week and are due Wednesday, September 23rd to your student’s school office. Please print and fill out this digital form if you need a replacement
The Jeffs’ Best Award was created by the Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education to highlight and celebrate the great work of our staff.
On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to congratulate Jane Rhine, FPS Food Service Supervisor, as the recipient of the first Jeffs’ Best Award this school year!
Some comments made about Jane were “She has a lot going on with changes in the cafeterias and trying to be 3 different people at once when an employee calls in.”
I am pleased to announce that, beginning Friday, Sept. 11, 2020, we will be able to provide ALL Fairbury Public School students free breakfast and free lunch, we hope, through December 22, 2020 (our last day of first semester). This is the result of US Secretary of Agriculture Purdue extending our authorization for the Summer Food Service Program!
Here are several key pieces of information:

Welcome To Third Grade At Jefferson Intermediate School! We are really excited to be back in school and welcome our 3rd grade students to Jefferson Intermediate School. We are off to a great start and are looking forward to a fresh new year with our students in person and remotely until we can all be together safely.
What better way to learn than outdoors? Fortunately, a grant through our local Elks Lodge made this possible. With a focus on Nebraska, this outdoor classroom project transformed an existing grassy area by Jefferson Intermediate School into an outdoor learning space. Our hope is this outdoor space becomes a “hub” for learning while promoting healthier students. All students and classes will be able to use this stimulating and flexible outdoor space. Numerous studies have shown that when the environment is used as an integrating context for learning, students: perform better, show improved critical thinking skills and are more engaged. In addition to our local Elks Club, a special thanks goes out to all involved with this project.

Welcome back to the 2020-21 school year! We are so excited to be at school and are preparing for a great year. I have created a video to update you on some important information. Please take the time to watch it, and once again, welcome back!
A special Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education meeting was held on Thursday, July 30th to finalize and work through the guidelines and protocols we will follow as we return to school this fall. The administration has been consumed by the task of finding information, resources and best practices throughout the summer. They have been in constant contact with NDE personnel, DHHS personnel and area school districts. The plan they have crafted represents months of planning and discussions, trying to tailor it to our community. Thank you to: our administrative team, BOE members, secretary staff, custodial staff, food service, Superintendent Advisory Committee, technology team and FEA leadership. As you review the plan, please understand this forms our foundation. It does not answer every question or represent “what to do” in every situation. It will be ever changing and malleable to fit the circumstances as we experience them. With that in mind, please know we are in constant contact with resources to help us navigate what comes at us. We feel ready and this plan will help us along the way. Please read the following documents for more detailed information.
Please listen to this Important Back to School information! School is almost here, and Fairbury Public Schools has been working hard to be ready to welcome students to the 2020-21 school year.
