WRAPPING UP QUARTER 1


Dear Fairhill Families

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our Fall Festival on Friday! What a fantastic evening of fun, games, and community spirit. A huge shout-out to our amazing PTA and all the volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make it such a special event for our families. We’re so grateful to be part of such a warm and connected community!

Looking ahead—just a quick reminder that tomorrow (10/29) is a three-hour early release and Friday (10/31) is a two-hour early release. And don’t forget to save the date for next Thursday for our next PTA meeting. We’d love to see you there!

Warmly,

Ted & Maura

Family Life Education (FLE) Information Session

Students in grades K-6 participate in Family Life Education (FLE) instruction through their classroom teacher. Students in grades 4-6 receive instruction in a human growth and development unit and an emotional and social health unit. Prior to the teaching of these lessons, Fairhill will be hosting an informational session where families can preview the Family Life Education media and lessons in Schoology and talk with school staff about the program. This is not a presentation. The info session will be held on Monday, November 10, 2025 from 4:30 to 5:00 pm. This session will be held virtually. If you are interested in attending, please join using THIS LINK. All program materials and media for all grade levels will be available for your review at this time. Grade level program descriptions can be found HERE and materials are located in your child’s Schoology account.  If you have any questions, please email our FLE Lead Teacher, Mrs. Barnett at MEBarnett@fcps.edu.


Attention FCPS Families!

The Federal Impact Aid Survey is now available to complete online. 

The Federal Impact Aid program provides money to districts that enroll federally connected students. Help FCPS secure funding from the Impact Aid Program by helping us identify: 

  • Military families.
  • Federally connected families.
  • Families living on a military base.

Please complete one form for each child in your household. Remember that only the parent that registered the student with FCPS (the ‘enrolling parent’) can fill out the Impact Aid Survey form. 

For families without access to ParentVUE, a paper copy of the form will be sent home with your student starting November 12. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.

Your support will ensure that we receive the resources for which we are eligible.

To access the Impact Aid Form from your computer or mobile device, we recommend using Google Chrome.

Step 1: CLICK HERE or type sisparent.fcps.edu into your Chrome address bar to be taken to SIS ParentVUE. If you don’t have a SIS ParentVUE account, contact your child’s school for an activation letter. 

Step 2: After you’ve logged into your ParentVue Account, look for the ‘Online Packets’ link at the top of the page. Click ‘Online Packets’.

Step 3: Next, click the ‘Federal Impact Aid Survey’ button on the bottom of the page. This will take you to the Impact Aid Survey for you to complete.

If you have multiple children in Fairfax County Public Schools, please fill out a form for each child. You will know you have completed all of the forms when you get to the final page, and see a green check next to each of their names.
