The Clearview Community Connect

Stronger Together

Dear Clearview Families,

It was wonderful to welcome our students back into the building for a full day of learning. The energy in the classrooms and hallways was a great reminder of how much we value having everyone together. Our staff enjoyed reconnecting with students and settling back into regular routines. As we head into a four day weekend, we hope your family has time to relax and enjoy it together. Please remember that next week includes the following schedule: Feb 16 No School for Presidents Day, Feb 17 No School for Teacher Work Day, and Feb 18 is a 3-hour Early Dismissal. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to another strong week ahead.

See you on Wednesday!

Fasting Meal Kits

From February 18 to March 19, 2026, a Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) waiver allows students fasting during the school day to request take-home meal kits. These kits include a complete school breakfast and lunch to be eaten after the school day ends.

Important Meal Kit Information:

Kits are charged based on a student’s meal status (Free, Reduced, or Paid).
Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day.
Students who eat a meal at school during the day are not eligible for a take-home kit on the same day.
Kits are distributed at the end of the school day. Students must pick up their own kits; adults are not permitted to collect them.

Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:
