Dear Fairview Families,
I’m excited to share that one of our first-grade teachers, Ms. Wilder, has been named the Robinson Pyramid Outstanding New Teacher of the Year. This well-deserved honor recognizes her dedication, creativity, and the genuine care she shows her students each day. We are so fortunate to have Ms. Wilder at Fairview!
I’m also proud to welcome you back to the building this evening for our Heritage Night and Art Show, one of my favorite events of the year. It’s a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and stories that make our Fairview community so vibrant and special.
A huge thank you to our incredible PTA and to all of our families and staff for making Heritage Night possible. Your time, creativity, and partnership bring this event to life and make it such a powerful celebration of our community.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Samantha Goldstein
Principal

Congratulations Ms. Wilder!
 We want to give a huge shout out to Ms. Wilder for being selected as the FCPS Robinson Pyramid Outstanding New Teacher of the Year!
One of our Fairview parents wrote: "Ms. Wilder has the kind of heart, professionalism, and instinctive ability to connect with children that cannot be taught. It is clear that she was meant to be an eduator, and her students are lucky to have her in their lives. I hope we get the privilege to have her again next year for our younger son, she truly is THAT special. I truly believe she exemplifies everything this award stands for, and I hope she is recognized for the incredible beginning she's had to what I'm sure will be a long and meaningful career in education."
We are so happy for you, Ms. Wilder, and we are so lucky to have you here at Fairview! We 💙💛 you!
Kiss & Ride Update
To help ensure a smooth and timely start to our school day, we will begin opening the Kiss & Ride line 5 minutes earlier each morning at 8:55 and they will wait until 9:00 to be released to classrooms from the cafeteria.
We’ve noticed an increasing number of parents joining the Kiss & Ride line after the 9:10 bell — not simply waiting in the existing line, but entering the line after the bell has rung. In order to keep arrival procedures efficient and minimize classroom disruptions, we will no longer accept students at the Kiss & Ride door after 9:10 a.m.
Students arriving after 9:10 will need to be escorted into the main office by a parent or guardian to sign in.
We appreciate your partnership in helping us start each day on time and ready to learn. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!

Celebrating the Power of School Breakfast
Multiple studies show that school breakfasts are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school breakfast consume more fruit and fiber than their peers.
This National School Breakfast Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. New menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
Would you like to know what’s for breakfast? Nutrition Services has printable menus available.
Pre-K and Early Head Start Programs
FCPS Pre-K and Early Head Start programs provide a high-quality early learning experience for qualifying children with economic and educational risk factors, ages 6 weeks to 4 years, living in Fairfax County.
- Pre-K prioritizes 4-year-old applicants but also accepts applications for children who will be 3 years old by September 30 of the same year.
- Early Head Start is located at three elementary schools — Clearview, Crestwood, and Dogwood — and accepts applications from pregnancy to 2 years old.
Families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible; space is limited and provided based on need, not on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applications are accepted online, by email, by mail, or in person at the program office at 7423 Camp Alger Avenue, Falls Church, Virginia 22042.
If you have a question about the application process or status, please call 703-208-7900 (English) or 703-208-7901 (Spanish).
