A Message from Principal Goldstein 


Sam Goldstein

Dear Fairview Families,

This week, our incredible chorus students took to the stage for their musical performance—and what a show it was! Their hard work, talent, and confidence truly shined, reminding us of the power of dedication, teamwork, and the joy of performing.

As we look ahead, next week is Staff Appreciation Week, a special time for us to celebrate the amazing educators and staff who make Fairview such a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow each day.

A heartfelt thank you to our PTA for organizing a thoughtful and fun-filled week of appreciation. We are also so grateful for our supportive families—your encouragement and partnership mean so much and help make all we do possible.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Samantha Goldstein

Principal

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow. We All Belong Here!

In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters. If your student is having a hard time finishing the year strong and attending school, please contact a trusted adult at our school — a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Visit FCPS’ website for more attendance resources.

Your Child's Mental Wellness Matters: Access Comprehensive Services

Reach out to the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) for specialized youth mental health services designed to help your child succeed. The CSB has individual and family counseling, psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, medication management, parenting groups, peer support, crisis response, recovery supports that include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), intensive services, and other services. 

Contact CSB Entry and Referral to get started by calling 703-383-8500 or emailing csb@fairfaxcounty.gov

Additional Mental Health Resources

FCPS has resources available to support your child’s mental health. During after-school hours, parents and students who need additional support can use the 988 Lifeline to get free, confidential guidance from trained crisis counselors on how to best help someone experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis. You can call or text the number. 

Recent reports have shared an 11% drop in suicides among young people since the rollout of 988. Please note, the hotline is not only for those experiencing suicidal ideation (or thoughts), it is also available for any mental health or substance abuse-related crisis and those with a loved one experiencing those crises or suicidal thoughts. 

And as always, if your concern is an emergency, you should call 911.
