Our Teachers Are Noticed

As a dynamic and experienced kindergarten teacher, Charlotte Orlando engages our youngest learners by connecting with each student, regardless of where they are on their academic journey. She sets high standards and provides the necessary support to help them achieve those goals. Charlotte won an FCPS Employee Recognition award for the 2023-24 school year. In addition to her amazing work, Clearview has over 50 full-time, dedicated teachers and 3 full-time counselors to teach and support our students.

An Engaged and Supportive Community

Our families come together regularly to engage in fellowship and to learn, creating a strong partnership with our families and our staff. The picture above is an example of a Grade Level Family Literacy Night where families learned ways to support their students at home and set goals. Other regular events include: Family Fitness Night, Multicultural Night, Back-to-School Picnic, Costume Bingo, Parents Night Out, Staff vs. Sixth grade basketball, and monthly parent coffees!

Student Ambassador Program

 Student Ambassadors play an important role in helping new students feel welcomed and supported at Clearview Elementary. They serve as friendly guides, showing newcomers around the school, and introducing them to their peers. Student Ambassadors aim to make every new student feel excited to learn and confident in their new school community.

Newly Remodeled!

AVID

Clearview is beginning our journey with Advancement Via individual Determination (AVID). We are starting our work with building executive functioning skills.   

Versatile Outdoor Learning Spaces

Clearview is committed to providing students with opportunities to learn and grow both inside and outside the classroom. Our outdoor learning spaces offer a unique and enriching environment for students to explore, experiment, and connect with nature.

Students have shared their experiences and insights about outdoor learning at Clearview:

• "I felt more connected to the plants and I felt better and more at home because I like planting and my mom liked to too." -Risab
• "I felt good after planting these plants because I’m helping stop erosion, which is a project I’m researching for my government essay." -Mary
• "I felt that I was helping the Earth step by step and I felt happy to be helping to prevent erosion." -Juliette

Recently, our fourth graders had the chance to participate in Fairfax County Stormwater Management’s “Revitalize, Restore, Replant” program. Working alongside ecologists, they transformed an eroding hillside into a beautiful native garden by planting 375 native plants. This hands-on experience not only complemented their classroom learning but also instilled a sense of environmental stewardship. 

Clearview Elementary is more than a school—it's a community where young minds are nurtured and spirits are uplifted. Together, we learn, grow, and make an impact. We are proud to foster an environment where every student feels valued and excited to grow together!
