Terra Centre Updates 10-2-21

Hello October

Terra Centre Families,

Terra Centre staff and students proved once again how resilient we are during an unexpected power outage this week!  It was business as usual with creative solutions and flexibility.  Check out some of the pictures below!

Please check your child’s backpack for two Kiss & Ride car tags per family that were sent home this week.  When using Kiss & Ride, the car tag needs to be hung on the passenger side sun visor (flipped down) so that Kiss & Ride staff can easily see the last name, even during inclement weather. We suggest using a rubber band or clip to attach the sign to your car visor. If you have any questions or need additional tags, please contact Sandra Ammar and Valerie Sollers in the main office:  saammar@fcps.edu  vasollers@fcps.edu.

Scroll down for upcoming dates, school picture information, and more!

Have a great weekend!
