coming soon

 

The Fairview Staff will be hard at work over the next few weeks packing up classrooms and identifiable student items from the school year. They will collect and bag up all items from student desks, classroom cubbies, etc,. Please understand that during this process, some unmarked items may not be able to be identified as belonging to a particular student. 

Details about our June curbside pickup will be shared in the near future. 

We will also have a spot identified where students can return items that they have borrowed from school and or their teacher (books-classroom or library, patrol belts, etc.).  We will not be collecting laptops or instruments during this time.  If you have borrowed a laptop or rented an instrument from the school, there will be a separate return process for these items. 

If you do not wish to retrieve your child’s classroom belongings at all, please fill out the following form to let us know. Please note that by filling out this form, your student’s items will not be bagged or available for pick-up. School supplies may be donated or saved for future use.

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.
