Terra Centre Families,
In 2014, Fairfax County Public Schools adopted the Portrait of a Graduate to answer this question: What are the skills necessary for success for all children in this rapidly changing, increasingly diverse, and interconnected world? Portrait of a Graduate moves FCPS students and staff members to look beyond the high-stakes testing environment and to help our students develop skills so they can be successful in the workforce of the future.
The Portrait of a Graduate attributes are:
- Communicator
- Collaborator
- Ethical and Global Citizen
- Creative and Critical Thinker
- Goal-Directed and Resilient Individual
Promoting these skills enhances student success in Preschool – 12th Grade and beyond. Scroll down to see some Terra Centre 4th graders presenting their work in the area of Ethical and Global Citizenship.
Enjoy the fall weather this weekend!

Ethical and Global Citizenship
Our 4th graders worked in teams and created presentations for candidates to win the “The Ethical and Global Citizen Award”. Teams presented their candidates together and students voted for the candidate based on the information in their presentations.

StreamIN/CheckIN is FCPS’ solution for providing meaningful instructional support to students who are paused, quarantined, or isolated due to COVID-19. These students may be out of school for up to two weeks, and we are committed to supporting them. No later than Day 3 of a student’s COVID-related absence, schools will provide student supports that include:
- Livestreaming (StreamIN) of direct instruction via Zoom or Google Meet. Teachers may choose to record lessons instead of livestreaming. This is NOT concurrent or hybrid learning. The remote student’s camera and audio will be off, but they will be able to watch and listen.
- Asynchronous access to class assignments.
- Interactive check-ins with teachers every other school day for academic and social-emotional support. Students will also have weekly check-ins with an assigned staff member.
