Stronger Together
Dear Clearview Families,
We hope to see you at the PTA Picnic this evening!
It's hard to believe we're already wrapping up our fourth week of school! The halls are buzzing with energy, and it has been a joy to see our students settling into their routines, reconnecting with friends, and engaging with their new teachers and classmates, and participating in learning. We've had a wonderful start, and we are so proud of how our students have embraced the new school year with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.
Would you like to recognize someone from our school who goes above and beyond? Submit a nomination to FCPS Cares.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Stephanie Almquist Joshua Redford Rachel Charlton

We focus on building from each child’s unique strengths while providing the tools and strategies they need to thrive. By working closely with families, teachers, related service providers, and support staff, we ensure that inclusion isn’t just a practice—it’s part of our school culture. Together, we are helping all students reach their fullest potential.

🩹 Immunization Requirements
Please check with your health care provider as soon as possible to make sure that your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Tuesday, November 18, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school.
You may check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to our front office. Find more information on immunizations.
📋 Permission Forms
Families can easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. Parents can opt their child in or out of resources, including online educational tools, school counseling services, and tutoring services. They can also change how student information is managed.Visit the Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system. Watch a video to see how to use the tool.
Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R)
The SR&R document explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses. Parents using SIS ParentVUE will be prompted to sign the document when logging in to that platform. A printable version of the document with a signature sheet is available on the SR&R webpage. This form should be signed and returned to our front office by Tuesday, September 30.
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit FCPS’ Attendance web page for tips and strategies.

Blue Star Welcome Week is a nationwide initiative to ensure military families feel a sense of belonging to their school communities. Fairfax County Public Schools will be intentionally celebrating and acknowledging Blue Star Welcome Week. |
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity to empower military families to thrive as they serve. There are approximately 13,500 military-connected students enrolled in FCPS. Each year, one-third of our military families transition into or out of our district. Blue Star Welcome Week gives schools an opportunity to welcome and connect with their military families. The goal is to create a sense of belonging and ensure that our military families feel celebrated and welcomed into their school communities.
Stay tuned for what we will be doing at Clearview to honor our military families!
