We enjoyed honoring our Veterans today with a family breakfast followed by Veterans presentations across all grade levels.
Terra Centre Families,
November is Family Engagement Month and FCPS has many resources designed to increase engagement and partnerships with families while fostering academic success and social-emotional growth.
Our family liaison, Mrs. Kettner, helps connect families to resources in the community, welcomes families, and helps them understand the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. Mrs. Kettner is at Terra Centre on Wednesdays and Fridays.

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, 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.
Need to Register for ParentVUE?
Learn how to activate your SISParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey.
Technical support for using ParentVUE or completing the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and enter Federal Impact Aid Survey under Issue Description. Or, call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).
