Dear Families,
Our Family Engagement Survey is coming to your email the afternoon of Sunday, March 13. Please participate—your feedback is critical in helping to inform and improve FCPS’ practices to best support our students.
Taking this survey will also help strengthen the partnership between your family and our school. When that partnership is strong, students can experience a range of benefits including improved school readiness, higher student achievement, and better social skills and behavior.
FCPS is partnering with independent firm K12 Insight to administer the survey, and it will be available in eight languages. For more information, please watch this short video from Superintendent Brabrand and visit the Family Engagement Survey webpage. Your voice matters!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or compliments you may have. If you have seen a Clearview staff member going above and beyond fill out an FCPS Cares here.
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Be Aware Of Your Student's
Digital Footprint.
Social media apps, like tik tok and snapchat, are not designed for the developing brain. Please be aware of your student's social media use. Look at their devices and see what they are doing.
If your student brings their FCPS laptop home, please be sure you student is using their FCPS laptop to school related activities only. And, please continue to communicate with your students on the importance of maintaining a positive digital footprint.
Finally, If you haven't already, please complete the parent/guardian digital consent form for the 2021-2022 school year, and as always, please reach out to us if you need anything.
Clearview 6th Grade Celebration
We Need Your Help.
The 6th grade promotion and celebration are quickly approaching, and we need funds to make this special event happen for our Clearview 6th graders. Because of the pandemic, these 6th graders have missed out on a lot of major school events including their 4th grade trip to Jamestown and their 5th grade trip to Hemlock Overlook Regional Park for ziplining and team building.
Through it all though, these kids have persevered, so it is time to celebrate them!
In years past, fundraising efforts would have been well underway; however, since we weren’t sure we’d be able to have any sort of celebration, fundraising for the 6th grade celebration has just begun.
If you can help financially, please donate today! Any amount, large or small, is appreciated and will go towards celebrating these great kids!
You can donate at https://clearviewpta.ptboard.com/formvw?store=2158&form=6.
You may also send a check into the school. Checks should be payable to the Clearview Elementary PTA with a note stating that it is for the 6th grade celebration.
Thanks for helping us celebrate these amazing kids!
