2020-2021 Class Placement Input
Planning is beginning for the 2020-2021 school year! To assist in this process, we would like to give you the opportunity to provide some information about your child.
Your child’s current teachers (upcoming teachers for rising Kindergartners) work as a grade level team in collaboration with specialists to prepare class assignments for the next school year. They will review this form and consider the information relevant to the class assignment. Fairview's staff is remarkable! Please do not request a specific teacher.
Please complete the form and submit by Wednesday, May 13!
Submit one form per student attending Fairview Elementary.

Social & Emotional Learning Supports
Our school psychologist, Jillian Hinkley, is sharing resources that can be used at home to support your child's social and emotional health. Ms. Hinkley can be reached at jahinkley@fcps.edu if you have questions, concerns, or needs as a parent/guardian.

Dealing with the uncertainty that comes with COVID-19 is difficult for many students. Completing an activity like this Circle of Control activity can help reduce anxiety about things children can’t control by encouraging them to focus on what they can control.

Digital Citizenship Reminders
As we enter a distance learning environment, it becomes more important than ever to apply practices of good digital citizenship. Students have been learning digital citizenship at Fairview all year, but reminders are always helpful. We strongly encourage adults to actively monitor students' use of technology to help maintain a safe and productive digital community.
Resources to families can be found on the FCPS Digital Citizenship webpage.
