Dear Fairview Families,
It's hard to believe we are already at the end of the second quarter of the school year! In classrooms throughout our school, our dedicated educators have been working tirelessly to create dynamic and enriching learning experiences. We believe in nurturing not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of each student. It's amazing to witness the enthusiasm and commitment our teachers bring to the classroom every day.
As we approach the halfway point of the academic year, I encourage both students and parents to take a moment to celebrate these achievements. Every milestone, big or small, contributes to the collective success of our school community.
Sincerely,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal

Cafeteria Volunteers
Fairview Elementary School is looking for volunteers to join in the fun in our Falcon cafeteria!
Volunteers will bring students forgotten items, escort students to the bathroom, and help students remember to clean (sweepers, table washers, etc).
If you would like to join in the fun please sign up for any available dates/times you are available.
Any way you slice it we are grateful for you!
Sign up here for any days and timeslot through February!
Call for Volunteers to Support ZEN Lunch
Beginning last year, Fairview has been able to offer ZEN Lunch to students in grades 4-6 on at least 3 days weekly. ZEN Lunch is an opportunity for students to eat in a calm quiet separate space away from the cafeteria. Students enjoy low lighting and calming music or videos (like the panda cam when that was a thing!). We will be able to continue offering this as an option as possible based on our staffing. We are asking for some support in helping us keep this going and consistently available for students. We are looking for parents that are willing to come to help us host Zen lunch on a consistent schedule, whether it be weekly on certain days, biweekly on a specific day or otherwise. This would require a volunteer to be badged through FCPS. If you are interested, please reach out to Lindsey Wilcox (lrwilcox@fcps.edu) in the main office for more information regarding badging and to discuss scheduling. Thank you for your consideration!

A BIG thank you to our Fairview community for collecting and sending in recycled materials for our Technology class. We are off to a great start! We will be starting these class group projects using the recycled materials very soon. We still need some items for these projects. If you would please collect and save some of these items and bring them to school, we would greatly appreciate your help. We will have collection bins placed in classrooms for these materials and at the entrance of the school by the office. Thank you for all your help. These are the only items we still need help gathering:
Bottle Caps
Paper Towel Holders
Toilet Paper Holders
THANK YOU!!!
Robinson will host its Rising 7th Grade Parent Night on Monday, January 22 at 6:00 p.m. Parents and guardians of students who will be entering Robinson as 7th graders for the 2024-2025 school year are invited to come and learn about Robinson, the transition to middle school, and the course selection process.
Our lost and found is very full! Do you recognize any of these items? We have wonderful PTA volunteers who tag and hang these items up. Please remind your child to stop by the lost and found on their way to lunch! After a period of time, these items are donated.

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.
What can families do?
- Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink.
- Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success.
- Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage.
- Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors.
- Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”
Visit FCPS’ website for more information.
