From the State of Vermont Department of Public Safety and the Vermont State Police...
This morning, February 8th, we were under a Hold in Place (Secure the Building) at Fair Haven Union Middle/High School for approximately 15 minutes as a precautionary measure due to a concerning call made to the Fair Haven Police Department. Hoax calls like this have been coming into schools across the state and country recently. While there hasn’t been any credibility to these hoax calls, we wanted to make sure we were taking the proper precautions as student/staff safety is our number one priority. Again, there is no immediate threat to Fair Haven Union Middle/High School. Law enforcement led our response, and at this time we have released the Hold in Place.
If you see any of these wonderful people, please thank them for their dedication in helping our students! Slate Valley is fortunate to have this dynamic team in our district!

During Library Class with Mrs. Rampone, students in grades K-4 read The Midnight Fair by Gideon Sterer. In the book, at midnight, woodland animals decide to go to the fair after all the humans leave. They go on the rides, play games and eat all kinds of fair food! Students in K-1 colored carousel horses and designed strips of paper for a roller coaster. Grades 2-4 created rides, games and concession stands. What kinds of rides do you like? Fast or slow? What is your favorite food to eat at the fair?

Please join us at Buxton's Store tomorrow morning for a cup of coffee! We'll be there from 7:30 to 8:30 AM. Hope to see you!
