Good evening Hayfield Families,
It is with great excitement that we share the following news with you!
The Region 4 Office is pleased to announce that Ms. Samantha Goldstein, Assistant Principal at Hayfield Elementary School, has been selected as the new principal of Fairview Elementary School, effective July 1, 2022.
Ms. Goldstein is a proud product of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) as a graduate of Hayfield Secondary School. She started her educational career at FCPS at Gunston Elementary School where for eight years, she served as a third, fifth and sixth grade teacher. She then joined Region 4 at Laurel Hill Elementary School as a fifth grade teacher for two years. She went on to serve as the assistant principal at Hayfield Elementary School, where she has been for the past seven years. During this time, she also served as the Extended School Year (ESY) principal at Hayfield ES.
As the Assistant Principal at Hayfield ES, Ms. Goldstein has proven herself to be a people person who builds strong, trusting relationships with families and staff. In her role as an assistant principal, she prioritized learning about special education and has become skilled in working with families whose children have IEPs, helping to navigate the process in the best interest of serving the student. Ms. Goldstein has worked at schools that have a diverse community of learners. She has implemented the CLT processes and FCPS best practices to meet these different student needs, while also providing support to the faculty and staff.
Ms. Goldstein is ready to work alongside teachers to continue to improve instruction and academic outcomes for students. She will use her strong collaboration skills to focus on teacher efficacy, equity, student achievement and social emotional wellness. She is committed to fostering a positive school climate and engaging with all stakeholders.
Ms. Goldstein is honored to serve as the principal of Fairview Elementary School. She looks forward to meeting and working with the school faculty and staff this summer to prepare for the upcoming school year. She is excited to welcome Fairview Falcons into the school building this fall. In her spare time, Ms. Goldstein loves spending time with her husband, two children, and puppy. She loves to be outdoors, especially on the beach.
Ms. Goldstein holds a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, both degrees from Lynchburg College.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Samantha Goldstein as the new principal at Fairview Elementary School.
Sincerely, Penny
