Personalized Learning
The Fayetteville-Manlius School District ensures success of every student by advocating, nurturing, and sustaining a school culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth.
We follow the Multidimensional Principal Performance Rubric, which recommends a personalized and motivating learning environment for students in which they are involved in meaningful and relevant learning opportunities that they recognize as connected to their experiences, needs and cultures.
View the Multidimensional Principal Performance Rubric on the NY State Education Department website.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Fayetteville-Manlius School District is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment where all members feel included, respected, valued and connected by affirming individual identities, fostering relationships and recognizing diversity as an asset for teaching and learning.
The District has a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee facilitated by Drs. Ynesse Abdul-Malak and John Palmer, both of whom are community members and professors at Colgate University. The committee is closely following the state guidance while also taking into account feedback from its many stakeholders, including students and their families and district staff.

Civility, Citizenship and Character Education
The Fayetteville-Manlius School District Board of Education recognizes that teaching students respect, civility and understanding toward others, as well as the practice and reinforcement of appropriate behavior and values of our society, is an important function of the School System.
The school district wishes to foster an environment where students exhibit behavior that promotes positive educational practices, allows students to grow socially and academically, and encourages healthy dialogue in respectful ways. By presenting teachers and staff as positive role models, the district stresses positive communication and discourages disrespectful treatment.

The Dignity for All Students Act and Reporting a Bully
The Dignity for All Students Act, which went into effect July 1, 2012, reinforces the Fayetteville-Manlius School District’s commitment to provide a positive learning environment for all students.
The goal of the Dignity for All Students Act, or DASA, is to provide students with a safe, supportive educational environment that is free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment and bullying (including cyberbullying). Some of the law’s requirements include establishing anti-harassment and discrimination policies and creating school training programs at every grade level which includes lessons in civility, citizenship and character education.
The F-M School District has several long-standing policies in place that are aimed at eliminating harassment. This law enhances those policies as well as supports F-M’s existing array of character education programs, which promote respect, tolerance and civility with the goal of creating a caring school community. Making sure all students are attending school in a setting that is free from bullying, harassment and intimidation is central to the standard of excellence for which F-M prides itself.
The district encourages students, staff members and parents/guardians to report bullying – including cyberbullying.
