Dear Fairview Families,
It's hard to believe we are entering our last full week of school! This past week, we welcomed over 400 Robinson graduates who walked the halls at Fairview, with our students excitedly cheering them on. Their visit highlighted the strong sense of community we share and the important role that elementary educators play in the lives of our students.
We also announced exciting news about adding a second assistant principal, Mrs. Kaila Wise, for the 2024-2025 school year. With Fairview's enrollment now at 770 students, this additional position reflects our continued growth.
As we prepare for the end of the school year, it's a time to reflect and appreciate the hard work and dedication of our staff ,students, and families. I am excited to see how our school will evolve and excel in the upcoming year. For those of you who like to plan ahead, please mark your calendars for our Open House event on Friday, August 16, 2024. We will share more details soon!
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal
Students and staff are gearing up for the summer! Feel free to have your children participate in the dress up days, and write a special note to a person in the building they would like to thank 😊 On Who Am I day, students will have the opportunity to guess who is who from a wall of staff photos from when they were in elementary school. The 2 classes that earn the most tickets from the Principal Challenge that kicked off on Wednesday, May 29th will get to duct tape Mrs. Goldstein to a wall, or pie Mrs. Ehrman in the face. We are looking forward to a productive and FUN final days of school.

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time (1:55pm) on the last day of school (6/12). Medication left in the health room after dismissal on the last day of school will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.

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.
Is your child missing something? Check out the Lost & Found! A HUGE thank you to our PTA volunteers who come in and keep this organized for us.
Lost and Found is located in the main downstairs hallway. Please encourage your child to stop by and see if anything looks familiar. Parents may also sign in in the office and go look. The last day for pickup of items is June 14th by 12:00pm. All items will be donated after the 14th of June.
   
🥗 Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!
It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on families’ plates. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to remember to check your students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Families that earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2024-25 school year will be available this summer.
If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2023-24 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price lunch.
📝 Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.
📈 New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 Tests
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.
In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring.
The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year.
Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.

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.
 School Board Votes to Adopt Fiscal Year 2025 Approved Budget
The Fairfax County School Board voted to adopt Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Approved Budget at their last board meeting. The FY 2025 Approved Budget totals $3.7 billion — a net increase of $233.2 million or 6.6% over the previous year.
The FY 2025 Approved Budget focuses on providing educational excellence for all students and ensuring that employees’ hard work and dedication are acknowledged through competitive compensation. Both of these efforts fully align with the FCPS 2023-30 Strategic Plan.
Nearly 86% of the Approved Budget is targeted at instruction. Key budget highlights include funding for a 4% compensation increase for all employees; maintaining existing class size formulas and providing necessary support to all students; and expanding athletics offerings, additional athletic trainers, and enhanced stipends for fine and performing arts.
