Dear Fairview Families,

Yesterday you received an updated communication from Dr. Brabrand about the return to school plan proposed by Fairfax County Public Schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The deadline for you to complete and/or confirm your intent for your child’s return to school is extended to Wednesday, July 15.

The Fairview community continues to persevere through these challenging times. Your support and feedback are greatly appreciated. Please know that our strong partnership will continue as we move into the new year.

I will continue to keep you updated as I receive additional and updated information about next steps. We remain FAIRVIEW STRONG.

Sincerely,

Sara Van Aalst

Principal

How do families notify FCPS of their choice for full-time online or in-person instruction for their child(ren) for the 2020-21 school year?
