 Second grade students working on rounding whole numbers during math workshop.
Dear Fairfax Villa Community,
As we finished our second full week back from break, it was wonderful to see our students back in their classrooms and routines. Students have been engaged in high level tasks, working collaboratively, and supporting each other along the way. Take a peek at our wonderful 6th graders participating in their Socratic Seminar below.
Please take a moment to mark your calendars for our upcoming PTA events, listed below. A strong school/community partnership is essential to your child’s academic and social success. We hope to be able to see you and your child at our upcoming events!
As we look into the week ahead, we want to remind families that school will be closed on Monday January 19th for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We look forward to welcoming your child back into the building on Tuesday!
As always, please reach out with any questions. We look forward to connecting with you.
Warmly,
Ms. Textoris & Mrs. Burke

Fairfax County is seeing very high levels of influenza (flu) illness. Visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers for flu-like illness have increased, especially among children, and multiple flu outbreaks have occurred in our community and school settings.
Consider these tips from the Fairfax County Health Department to help reduce the spread of flu and other germs.
At Fairfax Villa, we have a school improvement goal around improving our attendance rate. We would like to see our absenteeism rate decrease this year from 12% to 9%.
Here is our Attendance “Tip of the Week!”
