Principal's Message
Dear Terraset Families,
It has been another fabulous week of learning for our Tigers! Students have been exploring the engineering design process in STEAM, our Green Team is up and running and working on enhancing our paper recycling program, and everyone is continuing to engage in high quality literacy and math instruction.
As a reminder, this Thursday, October 3rd, is a student and staff holiday. Shanah tovah to our Jewish community celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! Meaning “head of the year,” Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s holiest days and marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection that ends with Yom Kippur. All FCPS schools and offices will be closed. Friday, October 4th is a student holiday (Teacher Workday). Our office will be open during normal business hours.
Warmly,
Katie Aldridge, Principal
Dave Ickowski, Assistant Principal
🆕Terraset Site-Based Substitute Opening
We currently have an opening for an additional site-based substitute at Terraset. Site-based substitutes support all student-facing positions in the building. You must be a current FCPS substitute and have 30 or more college credits. See the FCPS website for more information about site-based substitute requirements.
🚲October 9 Is Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day
Terraset will be participating in Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day on Wednesday, October 9. Make sure that your child wears a helmet if biking or riding, and that younger students have an adult with them. Be safe–use sidewalks and crosswalks to get to school. Get together with your neighbors and walk or bike together! Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day helps encourage physical activity and promote safe routes to school. We will meet at Door 5 for giveaways and we will take a picture with an administrator at 9:10.
📝AAP Parent Referral Information Night
If you have a student in grades 2 – 6 and you think they would benefit from Full Time Advanced Academic Services, please come to the Parent Referral Information Night on Monday, October 21st, 5:30 – 6:30 pm in the Terraset Library. We will review the referral process, identify types of work samples from home, and announce paperwork deadlines. Questions may be directed to our AART, Jennifer Szczesniak, jkszczesniak@fcps.edu.
🏃🏽Friends of Reston Fall 5K
The Friends of Reston Fall 5k on Sunday, October 6 at Brown's Chapel Park is FOR's largest fundraiser of the year and it directly supports our Youth Scholarship and Enrichment Fund. One of the most impactful aspects of this fund is that it provides scholarships to RA Summer Camps. Through this and other initiatives FOR supports Reston kids, including Terraset Tigers! Please join us to run, walk, or stroll in support of our community.
Friends of Reston is a 501c3 that supports the Reston Association in charitable, educational and scientific projects. FOR is dedicated to ensuring RA residents can enjoy the full benefits of our community.
