Congratulations to our Terra Centre teachers nominated for 2023 FCPS Honors! Mrs. Parise and Ms. Downey are Terra Centre finalists!
Terra Centre Families,
You might have heard your student talking about Portrait of a Graduate, or POG. What is POG? Very simply, POG is FCPS’ commitment to ensuring that all students have the skills to be successful today, tomorrow and in the future. POG is broken down into 5 important attributes: Communicator, Collaborator, Ethical & Global Citizen, Creative & Critical Thinker, and Goal-Directed & Resilient Individual. Consider how you, as an adult, use these skills to find success in your life!
Students use these skills in all school subjects, at home, in the community, with hobbies and interests, in future careers, passions, and relationships. We’re not focusing on these skills as an extra thing, students will use these skills to learn all content areas in a deeper, more meaningful way.
How will students focus on these skills?
- Learn about the skills, including what they look and sound like, and why they are important
- Apply the skills as they learn in their classes
- Reflect on HOW the skills helped them find success and WHAT they can do to grow
As a reminder, school will be closed from Wednesday, November 22-Friday, November 24. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on Monday, November 27.

Workshop Series Brings Loving Solutions to Challenging Behaviors
Are you tired of arguing with your children? Would you like to improve communication and create a space of harmony at home? If so, you need some Loving Solutions!
Join us on Wednesday, December 6th at 5 p.m. in the Terra Centre Cafeteria to learn more about this exciting 10-week, mostly virtual, family workshop coming to the Robinson pyramid this winter. It’s designed especially for families with strong-willed 5- to 10-year-olds, and, as parents know, this age can be challenging! The creators of Loving Solutions call the program’s workbook “The Manual the Hospital Forgot to Give You,” and it’s packed with effective strategies and tools to support parenting in a positive and loving way.
We hope to see you on December 6th!
