SO LONG SUMMER, HELLO FALL!
Dear Fairhill Families,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Parent Coffee! We had a wonderful morning together, and special kudos to our very own Cooper Sved for leading a thought-provoking and engaging discussion around screen time. We are so proud of the learning and connection happening within our community.
Looking ahead, we’re only two weeks away from our PTA Fall Festival! Be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, October 24th at 5:30 PM—one of our favorite Fairhill traditions. Check out the details below and get ready for an evening full of fun, games, and community spirit!
With gratitude,
Ted & Maura

News from FCPS
Lightspeed Student Online Activity Reports Are Coming to All Families
Beginning October 12, 2025, all parents and caregivers with Records Access in SIS will automatically receive a weekly Lightspeed email report summarizing their student’s online activity. These reports will be sent to the parent/caregiver email addresses on file in SIS.
Please note we are rolling two distinct upgrades with this change:
- After October 12, all parents and caregivers with Records Access will automatically receive the report, no additional signup required. Note: prior to this update only the enrolling parent could request access to these reports.
- We are auto enrolling all parents/caregivers to receive a report. Note: prior to this update the enrolling parent had to sign up to request access to these reports.
The Lightspeed Student Online Activity Reports are designed to enable families to have meaningful conversations with their students about responsible technology use and digital citizenship. Families who prefer not to receive these weekly emails may easily opt-out by selecting the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the weekly email.
For more information and to help answer common questions, FCPS has added a new FAQ section to the Lightspeed Parent Report page on the FCPS website.
