Walkathon Success
We are incredibly grateful to our amazing students, families, staff and community members who donated their time, energy, and support to make our Walkathon fundraiser a huge success! Thanks to your generosity, we not only met—but surpassed—our schoolwide goal, bringing in nearly $26,000!
Our students had an unforgettable time outdoors with you all, cheering, laughing, and celebrating together. Your support means the world to them and to all of us. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
Updating Emergency Information
Please see this attached letter from our clerk, Mrs. Ulmer, to update all important emergency information.
Student Fees - EPay Finally Available!
Our school fee is $75 per student, with a maximum of $150 per family. You can send in check or money order with your child in an envelope marked "instructional fee" or utilize the EPay system. Checks should be made payable to Farnsworth School. Fee waivers are available upon request for families who qualify.
EPay is finally available for school fees for the 25-26 school year!
Please see this attachment with instructions to access the EPay system. You will need your child's CPS ID number to pay the fee. ID numbers are available in the Aspen Parent Portal.
We are looking forward to our Trunk or Treat on October 17 for students in grades Prek-5!
After advocating for our students over the past two years, we are happy to share that CPS has replaced our front steps! Our next project that we are advocating for is repairing the asphalt on the back side of the building!
Thank you to our early childhood classrooms and families for sponsoring our "little garden" and to Ms. Ryan for helping our prek and kindergarten students create a new garden sign!
