Dear Fairview Families,
We have a few exciting updates to share this week! As we shared with our community earlier today, Fairview has been recognized as Distinguished under Virginia’s School Performance and Support Framework. We are so proud of our students, staff, and families. This achievement reflects the hard work and support of our entire school community.
There’s more to celebrate this week! Thank you to everyone who helped make our Fun Run fundraiser such a success. We’re excited to celebrate with these upcoming spirit days:
Friday, October 16: Pajama and Stuffy Day

Please also take a moment to read the information below about our PTA and school directory access.
Thank you for being such an important part of the Fairview community. We hope you have a 3 day weekend.

 Fun Run Updates
Thank You, Fairview Families!
What an incredible Fairview Fun Run we had last Friday! Thanks to the amazing support of our students, families, and staff, we not only reached our $30,000 goal, we exceeded it and raised an incredible $31,282!
We are so grateful to every family who donated, shared the fundraiser, encouraged their children, and helped make this event such a success. Seeing our Fairview community come together to support our students was truly special. Thank you for helping our Falcons soar! We could not have done it without you! 💙💛
One of the Great Benefits of Joining the PTA: Directory Access!
Looking for contact information for a classmate’s family, planning a playdate, or sending out birthday party invitations? PTA members have access to the Fairview directory to make connecting with other Fairview families easier!
New this year: ONLY members who have specifically set up their directory settings will be included in the directory. This added security measure ensures that you have chosen to share your information. It also aligns with the opt-out process in place through FCPS.
To set up your directory access and learn more about how it works, visit https://www.fairviewpta.org/directory-information
If you have any questions, reach out to Leighanne at 1stvp@fairviewpta.org.
 The Robinson Rambassadors, in collaboration with the Fairview Elementary PTA, invite families to a Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 24, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The event will be held in the front parking lot of Robinson Secondary School, located at 5035 Sideburn Road in Fairfax. Families can enjoy decorated cars, face painting, lawn games, a bake sale, and more. All families and guests of students in Robinson Pyramid schools are welcome. The event is sponsored by Robinson Secondary School.

Share Your Feedback on Traveling to and From School
The FCPS Office of Safety and Security and Safe Routes to School program are asking families to share their experiences traveling to and from their child’s school. The feedback will help inform the Fairfax County School Board’s annual assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety near schools.
The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Survey asks about walking and biking routes, traffic near schools, kiss-and-ride experiences, accessibility, and other safety concerns.
Your feedback will help FCPS identify common issues. Your responses will be kept confidential and shared with school administrators and the Office of Safety and Security. The five-minute survey is open through Thursday, October 15.
Be sure to identify the school related to your feedback and include specific locations where you have observed a safety issue. If you have students at different schools in FCPS, please complete a different survey for each school.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact SafeRoutestoSchool@fcps.edu.
