Dear Fairview Families,
As we look ahead to next week, we are excited to celebrate Blue Star Welcome Week! This special week is a wonderful opportunity for our entire school community to gather, build connections, and extend an extra warm welcome to our military-connected families.
To mark the occasion, please join us on September 29th for the Blue Star Welcome Breakfast, generously hosted by our PTA. It promises to be a great morning of community and connection. Looking a bit further ahead, we also want to remind everyone that our annual Book Fair will begin on October 1st! We can't wait to see our students dive into some fantastic new books.
Warmly,
Samantha Goldstein, Principal

Vision and Hearing Screening at Fairview
Fairview Families: Vision and hearing screening will be held on September 28th and 30th for all Kinder, 3rd graders, students who are new to FCPS, and those that missed their scheduled screening last year. The purpose of screening is to identify students who need further evaluation due to difficulty seeing the screening chart or hearing the screening tones. If your child wears glasses, please be sure that glasses are at school on screening day.
Parents will be notified by letter if screening results indicate that further evaluation is needed. Prompt follow-up with your health care provider is recommended as vision and hearing difficulties can interfere with learning. If you have any questions, please reach to our Public Health Nurse, Kimber Tritten: katritten@fcps.edu.
