Fayetteville City Schools set open-house, back-to-school events and new CTE partnerships
Summary
The Fayetteville City School System reported dates for open houses and a community back-to-school event, announced new career-technical education partnerships and said pre-K enrollment remains open with 20 slots available.
The Fayetteville City School System on July 7 announced open-house times, a community back-to-school event and new career-technical education partnerships as the district prepares for the 2025–26 school year.
Board members were told elementary and middle school open houses are scheduled for July 31 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., followed by a district-wide back-to-school bash behind the middle and high schools. The back-to-school event will feature food trucks, ice cream, face painting and a community presentation in the football stadium starting at 6:00 p.m., the board was told.
In the high school program update, the board heard that students who attended Boys and Girls State last month reported positive experiences. The system said it is nearly finished scheduling students for fall classes.
School leaders announced new postsecondary partnerships for high school career-technical education programs. The district will partner with TCAT Pulaski for health sciences and criminal justice pathways, enabling students to earn industry credentials; agricultural science classes will offer dual-credit coursework through Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), the board was told.
Administrators reminded seniors that senior pictures are scheduled for July 30 and said assignment postcards that include a teacher “scratch-off” will be mailed this summer. Summer learning camp concluded June 26 with a water day hosted by the Fayetteville Fire Department.
Officials also reported on prekindergarten enrollment: about 60 students are enrolled, with roughly 20 seats still open. The district encouraged families to continue registering returning students online and noted custodial and teacher preparation underway ahead of the new year.
The board was also briefed on an expanded professional development program and related events intended for teachers and staff; details on the professional development schedule and speakers were provided during the meeting.
The report closed with thanks to school custodians and staff for summer preparation and a note that the district will share additional details through email and social channels as event logistics are finalized.
