Back to School Night in Review
We were inspired by the overwhelming attendance of our community at last night's traditional back to school event. We hope the evening provided you with a better understanding of your student's academic endeavors this year. We look forward to providing your student with an engaging and enriching journey.
For those who were not able to join us, the welcome message from Mrs. Van Aalst and Mr. Paper is availalble here.

Spiritwear sale opens Monday!

Family Movie Night Canceled
After much indecision, we have decided to cancel family movie night scheduled for September 27. Sorry, everyone! It falls on the same evening as Robinson homecoming, so we thought we'd give families with kids in both schools a break. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming family fun events!
New partnership with Code Ninjas!
We are excited to announce our new community partner! Code Ninjas gives kids the opportunity to become computer literate and learn coding in a fun, safe environment. Students learn to problem solve, work in teams, sharpen their math skills -- all in an engaging way! Code Ninjas will be hosting Kids Night Out events exclusive to Fairview, offering terrific discounts on camps and learning programs, supplying us with gift certificates and prizes, and offering donations for every Fairview kid who enrolls in a drop-in program or camp during the school year. Check out the attached flyer and visit https://www.codeninjas.com/locations/va-burke for more information!

Order as many as you like, but only one per form, at this link: Support Fairview Running! (If your child is on the team this fall, he/she will receive a different color shirt with the program.
