 Members of All County Chorus get ready for their big performance!
Dear Fairfax Villa Community,
It has been another wonderful spring week here at Fairfax Villa! Our students continue to impress us each day as they learn, grow, and support one another. Classrooms are filled with curiosity, creativity, and determination, and it is a joy to see the progress our students are making as we move closer to the end of the year.
We are especially excited for Bingo Night tonight from 6:00–8:00 PM and hope you will be able to join us! It promises to be a fun-filled evening with exciting games, great prizes, concessions, and, most importantly, an opportunity to connect as a community. Events like this remind us how special our Fairfax Villa family truly is.
I would also like to take a moment to highlight an important opportunity to get involved. We are currently seeking new PTA Board members for the upcoming school year.
One of the most impactful ways to support this work of our school is through our PTA. The PTA raises and distributes funds while also creating opportunities for community connection and celebration. Thanks to their efforts, we have been able to provide essential office and art supplies, teacher resources, field trip transportation, clinic beds, and so much more. The PTA helps bridge the gap between school budgets and classroom needs, while also bringing our community together in meaningful ways.
If you are able, please consider serving on the PTA Board for the upcoming school year. We are looking for a few dedicated leaders to help organize events, support our school, and celebrate the incredible staff who guide our children each day.
If you are interested in learning more or stepping into this role, please reach out through email at VillaPTA@gmail.com.
Thank you, as always, for the trust you place in us and for the opportunity to care for and educate your children each day. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time—we are always here to support you.
Ms. Textoris & Mrs. Burke
Join us for Bingo Night at the Villa for an evening with friends, prizes, and concessions!

As required by the Code of VA, parents or legal guardians need to provide proof of immunizations for their child to attend at a Virginia public school.
In addition, all students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations:
- Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap) given at age 7 or older;
- Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) given at age 10 or older;
- A complete series of 2 doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
After reviewing educational materials approved by the Board of Health, the parent or guardian, at the parents or guardians sole discretion, may elect for the child not to receive the HPV vaccine.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s healthcare provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Immunization appointments are available. Inspire Health Alliance will be providing immunizations for currently enrolled FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Visit the Inspire Immunization Events Student Registration webpage to schedule an appointment.
Please review the Virginia Department of Health Information Packet (PDF) for more information on rising 7th grade immunization requirements.
Additional Immunization Resources are also available.
It’s that time of the year where we seek parents to serve on the PTA Board of Members for the 26/27 School Year.
We are requesting your help to support the amazing staff that tend to our children.
If you are willing and able to serve, we need you! Please reach out to us at: VillaPTA@gmail.com
We are pleased to announce that we will have community peers in our preschool program for the 26-27 school year. This will involve teaching preschoolers with delays and without delays in the same classroom. It can provide young children with a more stimulating environment, teach skills for coping with different situations, and provide the opportunity to learn appropriate social skills.
Our program will invite a limited number of community preschoolers (1-2 per class), who are aged 3.5-5 years, to participate in our daily preschool activities. The children from the community will have the opportunity to make new friends and share experiences with current early childhood special education students. Our students will, in turn, benefit from being with community peers who can model appropriate language, motor, and social skills.
On April 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM we will be holding a playdate on the playground for your student and parent information session in the main office. You and your student must attend the playdate/parent information session. Please let us know if you are interested. by calling the school at 703-267-2800.
Join us for Fairfax Villa’s Spring Bike Rodeo on May 8th from 5:30 to 6:30pm! Students will learn bike safety skills, and donated bikes will be available for those in need.
For any questions, please contact Ms. Prezioso (afprezioso@fcps.edu) or Ms. Bucarey (bfbucarey@fcps.edu).
WHAT: Thanks to a grant from Educate Fairfax, we are able to begin a program for all of our families to check out Family Literacy Activity Bags from the Villa Library! The bags are designed for students of ALL AGES (including the adults) so that the entire family can enjoy reading together.
WHY:Reading at-home with your children is important to their reading and writing development. Children hear fluent reading, can discuss their understanding, and learn new vocabulary from reading a book with an adult.
HOW: Here is the link to the Check-out form and the required Permission form (you can complete them electronically).
Please submit a request via the link each week you would like a bag to go home on Thursday. We will reach out to let you know a bag is being checked out to you during the week.
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!”
