Dear Fairview Families,
We just wrapped up a very strong short week here at Fairview, and I am proud of the continued focus and positive energy from our students and staff.
As we look ahead, we are excited for our upcoming Veteran's Day celebrations coming up next week on Wednesday, November 11!
The Fairview PTA is honored to host a Veteran's Day breakfast followed by inspiring classroom presentations from our Veteran's Day speakers, as we take the time to recognize and thank the brave individuals who have served our country.
We will also be gathering for our annual Thanksgiving Lunch, a wonderful opportunity to share a meal and express our gratitude together as a school community. Please refer to the schedule below for your student's designated lunch time.
We look forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday, November 11 to share in these important traditions!
Warmly,
Samantha Goldstein, Principal

Please remember to sign in at Door 2 by the cafeteria and have your photo ID ready upon arrival.
For families new to Fairview, this is one of our most popular events to enjoy lunch with your children! If you’re unable to attend and would like one of our counselors, or administrators, to check in with your child, please email Mrs. Leonetti at: lkleonetti@fcps.edu
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!
We have several open slots and we welcome speakers to share their experiences beyond their student's classroom!

Mr. Bordelon's dedication to supporting the mental health, well-being, and academic success of our students makes a tremendous difference in our school community every single day. We are incredibly grateful for his hard work, guidance, and the positive impact he has on our students and staff.
Thank you, Mr. Bordelon, for all that you do!

Native American Heritage Month
Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native Americans.

National Family Engagement Month
 This month reminds us that families are children's first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Strong family support is vital to student well-being and success.
FCPS has many resources designed to increase engagement and partnerships with families while fostering academic success and social-emotional growth.
Additionally, every school has a family liaison who will welcome and orient families, and help them understand the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. They can help connect families to resources in the community. Family liaisons might also assist a family in transitioning to a new school and encourage family-school partnerships to help ensure their student's success and healthy development.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Laura Leonetti, our Fairview Family Liaison, at lkleonetti@fcps.edu!
