Terra Centre Families,
We had another great week with our in-person 1st and 2nd graders returning! We also had our 3rd – 6th grade teachers were in the building setting up their classrooms and practicing with the concurrent model technology. Check out some of the pictures below.
We look forward to welcoming back our in-person 3rd – 6th graders next Tuesday! Parents of 3rd - 6th graders who are returning in-person will be receiving additional communication regarding arrival, dismissal, and other logistics. In the meantime, students can continue to practice logging in independently and wearing their masks for longer periods of time.
Our Student Leadership Team is hosting a couple of spirit days next week. Scroll down to check it out! Speaking of school spirit, our PTA is taking orders for spirit wear. Scroll down for details!
Have a great weekend!
Rebecca Gidoni

This week is National School Social Work Week!
Join us in celebrating Christina Marcone, Terra Centre’s school social worker. Ms. Marcone has been invaluable during this challenging year. She plays an important role in helping students meet academic, social, and emotional challenges. School social workers are trained mental health professionals who counsel, connect families to resources, and support our students every day.

Playground, School Grounds, and Fields Closed
With the return of our students, Terra Centre reminds families that our playground and fields will no longer be available for use during school hours Tuesday - Friday. Thank you for taking screen breaks in other locations, leaving our fields and grounds available for our students attending school in-person and allowing us to maximize our social distancing protocols!

Health Screening Commitment Form Required Prior to Student Returning In-Person
As many students return to in-person instruction, parents and caregivers will be asked to acknowledge a Health Screening Commitment form before their student(s) re-enter school buildings. This document confirms that a parent, caregiver, or guardian will complete a daily health screening and will keep their child/children home when they are ill.
The Health Commitment form can be submitted electronically through ParentVUE (PVUE) or you can fill out a hard copy Health Commitment Form, then scan and email it to dmcunningham@fcps.edu. If you need assistance, please contact the front office at 703-249-1400.

Requests for Changes
Virtual to In-Person
At this time, we have created a waiting list for students who want to return in person. Any requests for a student to change from virtual instruction to in-person instruction will be placed on the waitlist. We will review requests regularly and a decision will be made based on space and availability, according to social distancing guidelines and room capacity. Please keep in mind that in order to accommodate a request to change from virtual to in-person your child may be placed with a different teacher. If you would like to be placed on the wait list, please contact Dee Cunningham at dmcunningham@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-249-1400.
In-Person to Virtual
Any requests for a student to change from in-person instruction to virtual instruction will be honored. If you would like to change your original request, please contact Dee Cunningham at dmcunningham@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-249-1400.
