A Message from Principal Goldstein 

Dear Fairview Families, It has been a busy week of continuing to build routines, learning expectations, and settling into the school year. We are proud of the positive start to the year and appreciate your support as we work together to help every student feel welcomed and ready to learn. We look forward to seeing families at Back to School Night on Thursday, September 17. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, learn more about the year ahead, and connect with our Fairview community. We hope to see you there! Warmly, Samantha Goldstein, Principal
