Dear Fairview Families,
It's certainly been a chilly week, hasn't it? We're all looking forward to the warmer days that next week promises to bring.
This week, our students have been busy learning about plants and animals, magnets, historical figures, oceans, and even electricity! It's wonderful to see our Falcons becoming scientists and historians!
We also want to extend a huge thank you to all the Fairview families who continue to generously donate to our Food Drive. Your contributions are making a real difference in our community, and we are so grateful for your support. The drive will continue until Friday, next week if you are interested in participating!
Have a great weekend!

Fairview's Rock Garden
  Thank you to the Fairview 5th Grade Cub Scouts for reorganizing our Rock Garden in front of the school. We appreciate how much our community takes care of Fairview and we can't wait for the newly painted rocks!

Do You Have a Rising Kindergartner For 2025-2026?
|
|
|
Please let us know if you have a rising Kindergarten student – a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 30, 2025. A Survey of Preschool Children (salmon-colored form) was sent home in Wednesday Folders on 1/30/25 to collect this information. Please complete it if it applies to you and return it to the office or your child’s teacher. If you have a neighbor or friend for whom this applies within our Fairview boundaries, please share this information with them or ask them to call Fairview at 703-503-3700.
Registration forms and information about Kindergarten Orientation will be provided to those who complete the survey or contact the school.
Your assistance with identifying our incoming Kindergarten class is greatly appreciated!

Bundle up for Winter Recess
Winter is here, and we’re ready to keep recess safe and fun for everyone! Please take a moment to review our Cold Weather Recess Guidelines, based on recommendations from the National Weather Service (NWS):
-
Wind Chill Advisory: Outdoor recess will be a brisk 15 minutes max!
-
Wind Chill Warning: Recess will move indoors for activities.
To keep everyone’s winter gear in check, please write your child’s name on their items (coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc.). Our lost and found is overflowing, and labeled gear makes reunions much easier!
Thank you for helping us keep recess safe and warm this winter!
