Dear Fairview Families,
As we wrap up the first quarter, Fairview has been buzzing with excitement for Character Dress-Up Day! Our students and caring community continue to amaze me every day. Staff have also been busy holding first-quarter conferences, and we look forward to connecting with many families in the coming weeks.
Have a wonderful four-day weekend!
Warmly,
Samantha Goldstein, Principal

Calling All Military Speakers for November 11, 2026!
Fairview is proud to honor those who serve our country. Following the Veterans Day Breakfast, we invite parents and/or family members who are currently serving or have served in the military to speak with our students.
Speakers will visit a classroom of their choice to share about their role and experiences in the military for about 10-15 minutes. These conversations help students learn more about what it means to serve our nation — in a way that’s age-appropriate and kid-friendly.
Join us in inspiring and educating our students this Veterans Day using this link!

Complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey Online
The Federal Impact Aid Survey is now available in ParentVUE. Your response helps FCPS receive funding for which it is eligible by identifying military and other federally connected families, including families living on a military base.
Please complete one survey for each child. Only the parent who enrolled the student with FCPS can submit the form. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.
To complete the survey, sign in to ParentVUE and click on Online Registration. From there, scroll down to find the Federal Impact Aid Survey.
If you are experiencing difficulty completing the survey, sign in to ParentVUE using Google Chrome, select Online Packets, then choose Federal Impact Aid Survey. If you need help accessing ParentVUE, contact your child’s school.
Paper forms will be sent home with students starting October 28 for families who cannot access ParentVUE.

Full-Time AAP Services Eligibility for 2027-28
Decisions for AAP Full-Time services for next school year are made by a countywide central screening committee. The deadline to refer 2nd – 6th graders for spring screening is December 15. Please submit this form to Alisa Pappas.
Additional information is available on the Fairview AAP site as well as the FCPS AAP site.
PTA Directory: Membership Required
In previous years, all Fairview families could opt into the PTA directory, regardless of membership, because the school provided the PTA with family contact information. Due to the FCPS policy change, this is no longer possible.
The directory helps families connect and coordinate playdates, birthday parties, and more. To be included in the directory, you must now be a PTA member AND set up your directory access through Givebacks.
How to set up your Givebacks Directory Access: https://www.fairviewpta.org/directory-information
Please contact Leighanne Ludington at 1stvp@fairviewpta.org with any directory related questions.
We do not want the PTA membership fee to be a barrier for any family. If you have questions or concerns about the fee, please contact Laura Leonetti at lkleonetti@fcps.edu or PTA President Emily Freije at president@fairviewpta.org. We are happy to work with your family.
Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate these changes together. We want every Fairview family to feel informed, connected, and included!
