A Message from Principal Goldstein


Sam Goldstein

Dear Fairview Families,

We were thrilled to welcome our students back to school this week—even with the two-hour delays! Seeing our Falcons return brought so much energy and joy to the building. A huge thank-you goes to our incredible custodial team, who worked tirelessly to ensure the building was safe and ready for students and staff. They are continuing to clear the blacktop areas, and we are hopeful that with their hard work and some cooperative weather, students will be able to enjoy outdoor recess again next week.

We are also so grateful to our fabulous PTA for showing appreciation to our custodians by providing pizza and snacks. This thoughtful gesture meant a great deal and truly reflects the strong sense of community we value at Fairview.

This week, we also celebrate National School Counseling Week. We are incredibly thankful for our school counselors, Mrs. Fructuoso and Mrs. Corderman, and the care, guidance, and support they provide to our students every day. They play an essential role in helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and we are grateful for all they do to support our school community.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. Have a great weekend, we look forward to a great week ahead!

Warmly,

Samantha Goldstein

Principal

National School Counseling Week: February 2-6, 2026

Counselors with staff and students

A huge thank you to Ms. Fructuoso and Ms. Corderman for their unwavering dedication to our students. School counselors are the heart of a school, and these two go above and beyond to ensure every student feels seen, heard, and supported.

Whether they are helping navigate academic challenges, providing a safe space for big emotions, or cheering students on toward their future goals, their impact is immeasurable.

We are so lucky to have this powerhouse duo in our corner. If you see them in the halls this week, be sure to give them a high-five or a quick "thank you" for everything they do!

Upcoming Student Experience Survey at Fairview

Our school will participate in the FCPS Student Experience Survey. This survey will gather important feedback from students about their school experiences to help FCPS make meaningful improvements.

All students in grades 3-6, except those who have opted out, will receive a link to the survey in their FCPS email on February 23. We will administer the survey during the school day on February 26, 2026. Any student may take the survey at home, if they are unable to take the survey during the school day. You received a communication with details on how to preview the survey and opt your child out, if you choose. The electronic opt-out form can also be accessed at this link. The last day for parents to opt-out of the survey is Friday, February 13, 2026.

We believe it's important to hear from our students about what we're doing well and where we can improve. This work also aligns with the equity commitments in FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan, which include a focus on amplifying student voice and experiences as we work toward meeting plan goals.
