Recent Anti-Spam Changes:
Recently many cell phone and email providers have implemented additional anti-spam and anti-phishing measures to help protect customers. This has come with unintended consequences of some school communications being blocked by the carriers. In order to help prevent this we recommend adding 203-312-5692 to your phone's contact list as "New Fairfield Public Schools Alerts" and "No-reply@newfairfieldschools.org" to your email contacts. It may also be beneficial to add your child's homeroom teacher to your email contacts as well.
