A Message from the Principal

Dear Centre Ridge Families,

This was a shortened week of school as mother nature flourished the ground with snow.  We hope you were able to enjoy family time together and were safe and warm!  Just a reminder that Fairfax County Public Schools provides you with the option to receive weather alerts direct to your phone or email.  View this link and chose the method of notification and type of information you would like to receive from FCPS. The communications are timely and accurate, allowing for you to plan for school delays and school closures.

Enjoy "spring break" week!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Dias-Pareja
Principal

Kindergarten Registration is right around the corner! If you have a child who is going to turn 5 years old before September 30, 2018, please register your child for Kindergarten. We encourage you to share this information with your friends and neighbors who may have a child who is eligible to enroll in kindergarten for the 2018-2019 school year.

Centre Ridge Kindergarten Registration (parents ONLY) is Monday, April 2nd (9:00-4:00) for the school year 2018-19. Forms and other information are available on line at https://www.fcps.edu/registration/kindergarten-registration. Forms are also available in the front office for your convenience.

Kindergarten Orientation is scheduled for Monday, April 16 from 2:00-3:30 p.m.  This event includes your child.  Parents will participate in an information session regarding bus transportation procedures, breakfast/lunch routines, care of students in the clinic, and an overview of the kindergarten curriculum.

If you have any questions please call 703-227-2600.


Important Immunization Requirement: Do You Have a Student Entering Sixth Grade?

If yes, he or she may need a booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis). Sixth grade students cannot begin school in August without documentation of the Tdap booster. Parents or guardians should ask their private healthcare provider, or the health department, to review their child’s immunization record if they are unsure if their child has received the Tdap booster. Documentation must be provided to the school student information assistant (SIA) or registrar as soon as possible.

Learn more about the Tdap booster.
