Dean Of Students Abruptly Resigns From Fairfield Woods Middle School

FAIRFIELD, CT — Mark Robinson has resigned as Fairfield Woods Middle School's Dean of Students, and he will be replaced by a veteran educator on an interim basis, according to Principal Colleen Banick.

The circumstances surrounding Robinson's abrupt resignation, which was announced by Banick on Tuesday in a message to the school community, were not disclosed.

"As you may now know, Mr. Robinson has resigned his position as Dean at FWMS," Banick wrote. "In his place, an Interim Dean has been appointed for the remainder of the school year."

The Interim Dean is Eileen Roxbee, a former principal at Sherman Elementary School, who started in the new role on Wednesday.

"We are pleased to welcome Eileen Roxbee as Woods interim Dean," district Director of Communications Rachael Chappa told Patch in a statement.

Banick called Roxbee a "career Fairfield administrator," who she said is excited to take on the post.

"Ms. Roxbee comes to us with years of school leadership experience, and we know that she will bring this knowledge with her as she fills this important role," Banick wrote. "We have shared with Eileen what a warm and welcoming place Woods is, and she is looking forward to being part of this team."
