Dear Fairview Families,
We're halfway through the first quarter, and our teachers are dedicated to keeping you informed about your child's learning. Look out for invitations to parent-teacher conferences coming soon. These meetings will take place in late October and early November, providing an opportunity to discuss your child's progress. Don't forget that Monday, October 14 is a student holiday and Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Have a great weekend!

Celebrating the Power of School Lunches
Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.
This School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. Also, new menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
Want to know what’s for breakfast or lunch? Nutrition Services now has printable menus.
