Dear Fairview Families,
We are excited to begin the 4th quarter of the school year. As we enter this final quarter, we are focused on finishing the school year strong. This is a meaningful time as our students continue to grow, reflect on their progress, and build on all they have accomplished.
Today we had the pleasure of hosting our Kindergarten Orientation. It was wonderful to meet our newest incoming Falcons and their families, and we look forward to welcoming them to our school community.
Next week, we are excited to celebrate our military-connected students as part of the Month of the Military Child. Please see the information below for our military-connected family breakfast hosted by our PTA.
Thank you for your continued support. Have a wonderful weekend.
Samantha Goldstein

Orientation for Fairview ES Full Time Advanced Academic Programs 2026-27
We will be sending invitations to families of students newly found eligible for Full Time AAP services to attend an information session about Fairview’s Full-Time Advanced Academic Program for the 2026–27 school year. The session will be held on April 15 from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the POD and will provide an opportunity to learn more about the AAP curriculum and meet some of Fairview’s AAP teachers.
If you have any questions, please contact Alisa Pappas, ajpappas@fcps.edu, or your child’s classroom teacher.
AAP Screening for Subject Specific and Part-Time Services for 2026-27
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of advanced learners.
In the spring, schools review data on all students to determine services for the start of the next school year.
-
Parents or guardians can initiate the screening process by submitting the AAP School-Based Services Referral Form to the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Alisa Pappas by Friday, April 17. (Translations available here.)
- Parents or guardians who submit a referral will be notified by the local elementary school of their student’s eligibility status by early June.
- For more information, you are invited to read the Spring AAP Newsletter or contact Alisa Pappas (ajpappas@fcps.edu)
April Statewide Election: No School for Students April 21
There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled.
FCPS will offer lunch and a snack at no cost to children aged 18 and under on Tuesday, April 21, at participating schools. The meals must be eaten on site, and enrichment activities will be available for the children. For more information, visit the FCPS Food and Nutrition Services webpage.
April 29 Three-Hour Early Release CANCELED
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.

Journeys and Themes in Language Arts
Many classes have started Benchmark Unit 6 in Language Arts! Students have explored stories involving quests, challenges, and problem-solving.
Connect with your child’s learning at school with these fun questions and hands-on activities at home:
- Question: Which character has been your favorite from this unit and why?
- Activity: With your child, brainstorm a brand-new invention to solve a problem, like shoelaces that tie themselves or a clothes dryer that folds clothes. Ask your child to tell or write a story about someone using the invention.
At the end of the unit, your child will take their unit magazine home. The magazine includes an activity calendar with fun ways to help students build on what they’re learning at each grade level. You can also find information on how to support your child’s reading at home on the Benchmark Families website.
