Dear Fairview Families,
As we begin planning for the next school year, one of our most challenging tasks is creating class groupings. It is very important to have balanced classes that reflect the diversity and needs of our students. As we make these placements, we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships.
We welcome any information you believe is relevant to your child’s placement for the upcoming year. Please take a moment to complete this form by Friday, May 24. If you don't have specific information to share, there's no need to complete the form. Instead of requesting a specific teacher, kindly describe the ideal learning environment for your child. Please remember to fill out this form annually, as previous requests won't be carried over
Sincerely,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us plan, so that we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.
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.

We are thrilled to share that the James W. Robinson Symphonic Band has been invited to perform at the 78th Annual Midwest Clinic in Chicago, IL this December. Several of our former Fairview students are a part of this honor. The Midwest Clinic is a prestigious international event, attracting hundreds of applications from ensembles around the world. Applications and recordings are rigorously assessed by a panel of renowned musicians from the collegiate and professional band world who choose only a select few to perform for the Clinic’s 18,000 attendees from all 50 states and more than 40 countries. We are deeply honored and excited for this once in a lifetime opportunity for our students and community. The Robinson Secondary Band program has long been recognized as one of the strongest in the nation. The Robinson Middle School Symphonic Band appeared at the Midwest Clinic twice under the direction of Linda Gammon in 1993 and 2000, and the Robinson High School Symphonic Band performed in 1994 under the direction of Stan Schoonover. We are so pleased to be able to continue this tradition of excellence in 2024 under the direction of Andrew Loft and Katie Dever as the first Virginia high school band to perform at the Midwest Clinic since 2006. We are so proud of the 2023-2024 ensemble for earning this honor. Thank you to our 2024 seniors for your leadership and outstanding musical contributions, particularly in your performances at the Virginia Music Educators Conference and the Music For All National Festival this year. We hope to make you proud and honor your dedication as we prepare for Chicago. We also want to thank and recognize our incredible elementary and middle school colleagues, clinicians, private lessons teachers, administration and amazing parents for supporting us on this journey. We will continue to make you proud. With Pride!!! https://www.robinsonband.org/news The Midwest Clinic

Immunizations are required for all students entering 7th and 12th grades this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
It is important to schedule immunizations early in the summer, as seventh-grade students must submit documentation of the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines before they begin school in August. Twelfth-grade students must submit documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine. Get more information on all student immunization requirements.
