Dear Fairview Families,
What an incredible way to wrap up the third quarter! This past week has been filled with energy, academic milestones, and that unmistakable sense of Fairview pride. Watching our students push through their assessments and celebrate their hard work has been the highlight of my week.
As we head into Spring Break, I want to wish every one of our students, staff members, and families a restorative and joyful week off. Whether you are traveling or enjoying a "staycation" here at home, I hope you find plenty of time to unplug, relax, and recharge.
We truly can’t wait to see those smiling faces back in the hallways on Tuesday, April 7, ready to finish the year strong.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for making Fairview such a special place to learn and grow. Have a safe and wonderful break!
Samantha Goldstein
Principal

School Library Month
This April, we’re celebrating School Library Month and a very special person: our Fairview librarian, Mrs.Valentine.
From School Librarian Day to National Library Week, we want to recognize the incredible way Mrs. Valentine transforms our library into a hub of discovery. Whether she’s sparking a love for reading in a student or teaching essential research skills, her dedication makes Fairview a brighter place to learn.
Thank you, Mrs.Valentine, for being the heart of our school and our resident literary hero!

April 29 Three-Hour Early Release CANCELLED
Tuesday, April 21, is now a teacher workday and staff development day because of a recently announced special election that will impact all FCPS schools.
Students will now have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22 and April 29, which were previously early release Wednesdays for elementary schools.
This adjustment allows our staff to still have dedicated time for planning, collaboration, and professional learning without reducing instructional time on other school days. Read Dr. Reid’s letter to elementary parents for more details.

FCPS Commitment to Weather Safety
At FCPS, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our highest priority — no matter the season. In extreme cold, we monitor National Weather Service (NWS) guidance, adjust outdoor activities, and ensure our buildings are warm and secure. In extreme heat, we modify or cancel outdoor activities, use on-site measurements to guide athletic decisions, and promote hydration and cooling breaks.
FCPS has plans in place to provide guidance during severe weather, including storms, flooding, and tornadoes. Decisions are informed by industry best practices, weather alerts, and a commitment to keeping our school community safe and healthy year-round. Read more about weather safety, including the differences between an advisory, watch, and warning.
Provide the County Government With Feedback on its Budget
About 70% of the FCPS budget comes from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors is reviewing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Advertised Budget and considering possible adjustments before adoption in May. Opportunities to provide feedback to the county include Budget Town Hall Meetings airing on Channel 16 on Tuesday, April 7, at 7 p.m., (Springfield District) and Friday, April 10, at 6 p.m., (Franconia District).
You can also provide your input during the county’s Budget public hearings on Tuesday, April 14, at 4 p.m., and Wednesday, April 15, and Thursday, April 16, at 3 p.m. at the Government Center Board Auditorium. Register in advance to speak.
Visit the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors website to learn more about the county’s FY 2027 Budget.

- New globally inspired dishes that offer exciting flavors from around the world.
