The Clearview Community Connect

Stronger Together


Dear Clearview Families,

What a wonderful "week" at school we've had. Even though students were only with us for two days, those days were filled with learning, laughter, and memorable moments across Clearview.

As we head into the final few weeks of the school year, we are excited for all that is ahead. Between now and our last day of school on June 17, our students will continue engaging in meaningful learning while also enjoying many special activities and celebrations that help us wrap up another successful school year together.

We are grateful for the support of our families and community members who help make these experiences possible. If you are interested in volunteering for any of our upcoming events, please contact our front office at 703-708-6000. We would love to have you join us as we celebrate the end of a fantastic year.

Thank you for being an important part of the Clearview Elementary community. We look forward to making these final weeks of school both productive and fun for our students.

Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday,

Stephanie Almquist         Joshua Redford        Rachel Charlton  

Principal                          Assistant Principal    Assistant Principal

School Board Adopts Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget

On May 21, the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Approved Budget, continuing FCPS’ commitment to sustaining excellence by prioritizing competitive compensation and strategic investments that support student success.

The adopted budget reflects the division’s ongoing efforts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment shaped in part by chronic state underfunding and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the budget maintains key investments and restores several reductions made during the prior fiscal year. Read about the FY 2027 Budget.
