Please let us know if you have a rising Kindergarten student – a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 30, 2024.  If you have a neighbor or friend who has a rising Kindergartner, please ask them to call Fairview at 703-503-3700.  Your assistance with identifying our incoming Kindergarten class is greatly appreciated.

SOL Testing-May

Students in grades 3-6 will be participating in Spring SOLs in the month of May. Please mark your calendars! If you know you will be out of town for any of the days your child is scheduled to test, please reach out to their classroom teacher, or Meghan Ehrman mrehrman@fcps.edu to make alternate plans. If you have specific questions regarding the SOL assessments, please speak with your child’s classroom teacher.

Solar Eclipse on April 8th

A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, and will be viewable, depending on weather, in Fairfax County. The eclipse will begin in our area around 2:04 p.m. and end around 4:32 p.m., with the maximum eclipse occurring around 3:20 p.m.  

Because the timing overlaps with dismissal, it is crucial that students understand the importance of safe viewing practices. We encourage families to review these Solar Eclipse Resources, especially the eye safety information. We hope everyone takes the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary natural phenomenon while prioritizing safe solar viewing.

In each classroom, Fairview will be livestreaming the eclipse from the  NASA website during maximum eclipse time.
