Dear Fairview Families,
What a wonderful first week we have had at Fairview! It has been so great to see our students return with smiling faces, reconnect with friends, and welcome new students into our school community.
We were also honored to have Superintendent Dr. Reid visit Fairview this week. Her visit was a wonderful way to begin the year, and we are excited about all that is ahead. We know this is going to be a great year at Fairview!
Thank you for your partnership and support as we begin this journey together. Have a wonderful weekend.
Warmly,
Samantha Goldstein, Principal

Parent To-do List: Parent Action Required
Everything You Need to Do in SIS ParentVUE
Are you working your way through back-to-school forms and checklists? Make sure you have a SIS ParentVUE account for your family and log in to find important forms and updates.
- Be among the first to know about weather closings, bus delays, and other critical communications from your school and FCPS by providing your cell phone number and email in ParentVUE. To update your contact information in ParentVUE, click the “Online Packets” tab in the upper right of the screen, then click the “Online Verification/Update” icon.
- Submit daylong absences by clicking “Report Absence.”
If you do not have a ParentVUE account, contact your child’s school for an activation code and follow the directions on the SIS ParentVUE Account webpage.
Remember to Complete Permission Forms for School Resources
Families can now easily grant consent for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. This online tool can be accessed using your SIS ParentVUE account login. Parents can easily opt their child in or out of a variety of resources, including online educational tools, school counseling services, and more.
Visit the Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system. Watch this video to see how to use the tool.

Student ID Cards for Fairview Bus Riders
Next week, we will begin distributing student ID cards to students who use the bus.
We have made this simple for families! Each ID card will be attached to your child’s backpack. Please remind your child to leave it attached where it has been placed.
Students should tap their ID card when boarding and exiting the bus. We will teach students how to use their cards at school.
We ask for your patience! Bus drivers will begin checking students in next week and may need extra time at each bus stop. The transportation team is working hard to minimize any delays.
Learn more about bus navigation and student ID cards.
2026-2027 Early Release Wednesdays
This year, we will have a total of four early release Wednesdays, where we dismiss at 12:55 p.m.
Our Fairview dates are:

Families may complete their forms electronically through ParentVUE, or by downloading the paper forms from the FCPS website and returning them to the school office.

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit the FCPS Attendance web page for tips and strategies.
Opt In or Out to Student Devices Being Sent Home for Grades 1-6
New this year, families can opt out of having student laptops sent home with their student.
- If you do not want your student to bring their FCPS-issued device home, please toggle the Opt Out button to a check mark and confirm by pressing Save Selection.
- If you would like your student to bring their FCPS device home, no toggle action is needed. Confirm by pressing Save Selection.
Students whose families opt out will continue to have access to an FCPS-issued device during the school day. Please reach out to your student’s teacher to understand expectations for homework and any learning activities that may require access to technology outside of the school day.
Transportation Patience and Safety
Thank you for your patience as we all get used to new routines this school year. We appreciate our families following Kiss and Ride procedures and being patient while waiting for your child’s bus.
If your child’s bus is delayed, you may access the Bus Delay Notification System or use the Here Comes the Bus mobile app to receive the delayed bus report. Email messages will be sent to announce significant bus delays. Please contact the Transportation Office at:
with any additional questions. For concerns after 5:30 p.m., contact the FCPS Office of Safety and Security at 571-423-2000.
Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE to make sure you receive email messages about bus delays.
