Dear Fairview Families,
We were absolutely delighted by the fantastic turnout at our Open House! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and welcome new families to our school community. Your enthusiasm and support mean the world to us.
This year promises to be filled with exciting learning opportunities, fun events, and a strong sense of community. To help you prepare for a smooth start, we've included important back-to-school details below. Let's embark on this new adventure together!

First Day of School
The first day of school is Monday, August 19 for the 2024-25 school year. Our doors will open at 8:55 AM.
The school day begins at 9:10 AM and students are expected to be in their classrooms, seated and ready to learn. Daily announcements and instruction will begin promptly at 9:10 AM. Student dismissal begins at 3:55 PM when students begin to move to their dismissal location.
- Students should not arrive to school prior to 8:55 AM
- Families are invited to walk their children to class on the first day of school.
- Students who enter the building on or after 9:10 AM are considered tardy and must be walked in by an adult and signed in. We ask that all students able to ride the bus or walk to school do so to avoid a back-up in the Kiss-and-Ride loop.

This school year we will continue using PickUp Patrol to help us track dismissals. PickUp Patrol (PUP) has saved us a great deal of time in the office, reduced classroom interruptions and provides you with a convenient way to make changes to your child’s dismissal plans.
Most importantly, continuing to use it will help us ensure that our students are safely dismissed to their correct after-school destinations.
You should have received an email this week explaining how to log back into your account, or how to create a new one. If you are registered, please look at your child's default dismissal plan to ensure that it is accurate. If you are not registered, please follow the steps outlined in the email and create a default dismissal plan for your child.
Bus
Your ParentVUE account will show your child’s bus route number, the stop location, and estimated pick-up and drop-off times. With your ParentVUE account, you can activate the Here Comes the Bus app for tracking your child’s bus. You will need the FCPS school district code of 28982.
You should arrive at your bus stop ten minutes before your scheduled pick-up time since schedules may vary slightly from day to day.
Kiss and Ride
When using Kiss & Ride, you must enter from Burke Centre Parkway and use Door 2.
Walkers
Walkers enter at the playground, Door 5. All kindergarten students must be met at the door by the parent/guardian.
Parent Toolkit- Parent Action Required
The following are some yearly action items for all parents to complete. Items with an asterisk (*) are time sensitive and require parent action.
To help plan for our school’s childcare needs during the early release Mondays, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/FU2TgKfthzUcE9RG7 for each of your children who are enrolled at Fairview Elementary. The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 23, 2024 and October 28, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.
School Supply Lists
Please find the supply list for your student's grade on our website! School Supply List
📵 Phones Down, Engagement Up: FCPS Cell Phone Policy Keeping cell phones off during the school day helps students focus and learn. It also boosts positive social behavior. Review FCPS’ cell phone expectations by grade level with your child and help keep our classrooms free of distractions! If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call our 703-503-3700. text.
Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights
Fairfax County Public Schools wants all parents and caregivers to understand its policies regarding surveys, records, curriculum, privacy, and related rights.
In its Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms (Annual Notice), FCPS provides explanations of the rights listed above as well as forms that may be used to exercise opt-out choices. Two versions of the Annual Notice are available: a grades K-8 version and a grades 9-12 version. Parents/caregivers with children at different grade levels should read each applicable version of the Annual Notice, because the notices and opt-out rights vary depending on the student’s grade level.
Get more information and view the 2024-25 Opt-Out Booklets.
Update Your Child’s Immunizations and Records
Please check with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up-to-date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school.
You can check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to a school’s front office.
If your child needs a vaccine, please make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or access other local services. If needed, families may also provide other immunization documentation including a healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption or a notarized Religious Exemption Form.
Find more information on immunizations on the FCPS website.
