Dear families,
Each and every one of us at Clearview thank you from the bottom of our collective heart for all you do! Most of all, we are full of gratitude for each and every day that you send us your precious children. As we reflect on the 2021-22 school year, we can say that this school year has been a phenomenal one as we resumed in-person learning for each and every Yellow Jacket!
We hope that you have a fun and relaxing summer and that you find the time to connect with family and friends. Take full advantage of the long summer days and remember to read, read, read!
Have a FANTASTIC summer!

Do Your Part- VaxUP!
A single booster dose is now authorized for children ages 5-11, at least five months after completing a primary series with the Pfizer vaccine. Learn more about scheduling a COVID-19 vaccine appointment or find a walk-in option on the Fairfax County Health Department’s website.
Free/Reduced Meals
Families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced price meals for SY 22-23. For the past two years, the federal government has provided no-cost meals to all public school students without the need to complete the annual Free and Reduced-Price Meal application. However, the extension of the no-cost meals benefit to all students is expected to expire at the end of this school year.
We encourage you to submit the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application prior to the first day of the 22-23 school year. The online application will be available later this summer. Watch your email and our website for more information. Learn more about the Free and Reduced-Price Meal program online.
No-cost summer meals will be served at all FCPS summer school locations this year. Please visit the FCPS website for updated information during the summer.
If you have questions about the Free and Reduced-Price Meals program, the additional benefits your child may receive, or no-cost summer meals, please contact the main office at 703-708-6000. We are happy to help.

June 10 Last Day of School- 6th Grade Celebration and 2 hour Early Release for students!
The 6th grade promotion ceremony was held last night at Herndon MS and the celebration took place today at Clearview! Leanne and Co. generously provided pizza for the event, and Bach to Rock provided the music, so a huge thanks to them for making the celebration a real party!
This year was truly an unforgettable one. Thank you to all the volunteers, the super coordinators, the planners and the dreamers. There were new ideas and new bridges crossed; we said goodbye to some traditions and created some new ones. Special thanks to Laura Manduzio, for making 10 years of magic with the 5K/Fun Run. That is a Clearview event that simply cannot be missed. There are so many things that the members of the PTA are passionate about doing; please consider helping out next year. There are even still a couple spots open on the Board for next year. Contact Brian Kelley at bhkelley@gmail.com for more information. It's been a pleasure being the PTA President this year, and I look forward to helping out next year in other ways. Please join us! Have a great summer! -Alecia Nault
