Our 3rd annual PTA Pumpkin Drop/Movie night was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who made this event come together.
Terra Centre Families,
We are excited that our Traditional Thanksgiving Luncheon has returned and will be held on Friday, November 17th. Lunch schedules have changed, so please log on to All Parents Schoology course for times. This event requires lots of support and volunteers. Please consider signing up to help and stay to join your child for lunch. Click on the link to volunteer: Luncheon Volunteer Sign Up
As a reminder, schools are closed for students on Monday, November 6 for a school planning day and Tuesday, November 7 for a teacher workday. We look forward to students returning on Wednesday, November 8.

Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available online in SIS ParentVUE. If you have not already filled out the form online, we will provide paper forms [TOMORROW or MONDAY or...]. Please be sure to return paper forms by Friday, November 17. The electronic form will continue to be available in SIS ParentVUE until January 2024.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important, because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
Please watch this video and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page for more information.

Please join FCPS’ Chief Equity Office for a virtual meeting regarding the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) Regulation. The event will be held on Thursday, November 9, from 6-7:30 p.m. You may register at this link.
Your feedback will help ensure that FCPS policies align with the school division’s mission and values. It will also help identify any specific considerations that need to be addressed for the 2024-25 school year.
