Stronger Together
Dear Clearview Families,
We appreciate everyone who joined the Fun Run this morning!
As we continue through the May SOL testing window, we want to recognize the dedication of our teachers and the confident effort of our students in grades 3-6. Testing is underway, and a good night's sleep remains vital for success. The upcoming testing schedule includes: May 12 (3rd Grade Math), May 14 (5th Grade Science), May 18 (6th Grade Math), May 19 (4th Grade Math), May 20 (3rd Grade Reading), and May 21 (5th Grade Math). Find more information on our testing website.
This Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers in our Clearview community. Your dedication in nurturing and supporting our students is a vital partnership in their education. Thank you for the role you play. Happy Mother's Day!
See you on Monday!

Jewish American Heritage Month
May is a national month of recognition of the history of Jewish contributions to American culture, acknowledging the diverse achievement of the Jewish community in the U.S.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
People with ancestral roots in Asia and the islands of the Pacific have been integral to the story of America. In 1992, May was designated Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to celebrate their heritage and contributions.Learn more about the heritage months, celebrations, and traditions celebrated in FCPS.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month is about more than awareness. It’s about showing up for one another. It provides a chance to stand with your community and show that no one struggles alone. Everyone is invited to speak up against mental health stigma. Learn more about Mental Health Awareness Month on the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) website.
Food Allergy Awareness Month
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.
To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.
Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
