It is truly inspiring to see the growth our students demonstrate each day, academically, socially, and emotionally. We are so proud of their hard work and perseverance during this important time of year.

As we begin looking ahead and planning for next school year, your input is incredibly valuable to us. Please take a few moments to complete the survey linked below. Your feedback helps guide our decisions and ensures we continue to meet the needs of our entire school community.

Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Farewell Mrs. Ehrman!

Mrs. Ehrman in front of fairview blue and yellow logo

Today is Mrs. Ehrman's last day at Fairview. Next week, she will begin a new chapter at Terra Centre Elementary School.

While we are incredibly sad to see her go, we are equally excited for the community at Terra Centre—they are gaining a dedicated, compassionate, and talented individual. Mrs. Ehrman has left an indelible mark on Fairview, and her impact on our students, staff, and Falcon community will be felt for a long time to come.

As Mrs. Ehrman leaves Fairview today to join the Terra Centre Family next week, we want her to know that wherever she goes, she will always be a Fairview Falcon 💙💛

April 28 - School Bus Driver Appreciation Day

On April 28th, we pause to celebrate the unsung heroes of the morning commute: our school bus drivers. They are the first friendly faces our students see each morning and the steady hands that ensure a safe journey home every afternoon. Thank you for your patience, your care, and for keeping our community moving forward!


Adjusted Elementary Early Release Wednesdays

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.

Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and Rising 12th Graders

The following immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grade each school year. 

All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine

  • To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
  • To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
  • To meet the HPV requirement, the vaccination should be given between the ages of 11 to 12 or as early as 9 years old. 
    •  As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child will not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.

All students entering 12th grade are to receive two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school. To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, one dose must be administered at age 16 or older. 

Parents and guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and healthcare providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.

Immunization Events for FCPS StudentsFCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations. 

Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.
