Dear Terraset Families,
Next Monday, 3/17/25 we will have our next 3 hour early release Monday. Be sure to check your email tomorrow morning for this month’s early release dismissal confirmation for your child/ren. Any changes to that plan should be made by calling the main office at 703-390-5600 by no later than Thursday, March 13th. It will be very difficult to navigate dismissal changes on the 17th. Our top priority is to get every Tiger home safely at the correct time.
The past week has been so amazing! Many of our Tiger’s art was put on display at the Reston Community Center for the annual South Lakes Pyramid Youth Art Exhibit and the SLHS Boys Basketball team won the Class 6 State Semifinal and are heading to the State Finals in Richmond this coming weekend! Go Seahawks!! We will have a pyramid-wide pop up Seahawks Spirit Day this Friday, March 14th, wear your green and blue!
We are also gearing up for 2 great Terraset events: Our STEAM night on March 20th and our annual Terraset PTO 6th Grade Basketball Challenge on Friday, March 28th at South Lakes High School! Please see below for all the details.
Terraset truly is a special place with outstanding instruction AND fantastic opportunities to come together as a community. We thank you for your partnership and support that makes us the absolute best!
Warmly,
Katie Aldridge, Principal
Dave Ickowski, Assistant Principal
