Dear Fairview Families,
As we wrap up another successful school year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your support and partnership. It has been a privilege to be a part of your child's educational journey, and we are incredibly proud of all the hard work and accomplishments achieved this year.
We wish you a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer break. May it be filled with memorable moments and quality time with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall, refreshed and ready for another exciting year of learning and growth.
Warm regards,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal

Students and staff are gearing up for the summer!

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.
Order your School Supply Kit for 2024-2025
The PTA is working with the company, Sprouts, to offer one-stop-shopping for your child’s school supplies for next year. A flyer with a QR code to place an order was in your child’s Wednesday Folder this week on 6/5. Please place an order by the July 9 deadline if you are interested.
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.

🥗 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.
We are very excited to start planning the celebration of Fairview's 125th anniversary which is October 3rd, 2024.

To make these things happen we need dedicated committee members! If you are interested, please use the sign-up genius below so we can plan a meeting before the end of the year.
