Dear Terraset Families,
On Monday, March 24, parents and guardians of Terraset ES will receive an email with a link to the FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form. This questionnaire is part of the Performance Evaluation Program and provides an opportunity to share feedback about my leadership and our school environment.
Topics covered in the survey include:
✅ Instructional leadership
✅ School climate
✅ Management (human resources and organizational)
✅ Communication and community relations
✅ Culturally responsive and equitable leadership
✅ Professionalism
The questionnaire will be open March 24 – April 4 and will be collected online. Please keep an eye out for an email from FCPSSurvey@fcps.edu and take a few minutes to complete it. Your input is so valuable and helps shape the future of our school.
Thank you for your time and feedback,
Katie Aldridge, Principal
