Congratulations to our 2025 (Terra Centre) Robinson Seniors, we are so proud of you!
Dear Families,
It was such a joy to see the excitement and school spirit during Monday's Robinson Senior Parade! Our elementary students were thrilled to cheer on the graduating class, and it was heartwarming to welcome back so many former TC Tigers as they prepare to take their next big step. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!
Just a reminder: Tomorrow, Monday, May 26, is a holiday and there will be no school.
With just two weeks of school left, now is the perfect time to have your student check the lost and found for lost items, return any overdue library books, and make arrangements to pick up your student's medication from the health room. Please ensure all medications are picked up by Wednesday, June 11.
Let’s finish the year strong, Tigers!
Rebecca Gidoni, Principal
Teresa Lewis, Assistant Principal

PTA News
TCES PTA is excited to offer an easy way to get a head start on next school year—order your child’s school supplies through EduKit!
Terra Centre teachers have carefully created supply lists for each grade level. When you order through EduKit, your child’s supplies are bundled into a convenient box and shipped directly to the school, ready and waiting in their classroom for Meet the Teacher in August.
This hassle-free option saves you time and may even save you money, with locked-in pricing that helps you avoid the anticipated rising costs recently highlighted in the news.

FCPS Updates
Limited Early Release Days Continue Next Year
During a report to the School Board this month, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid announced plans to continue limited early release days in elementary schools and shift them to Wednesdays for the 2025-26 school year. This plan is based on recommendations from the Early Release Steering Committee. The committee includes parents, caregivers, school-based staff, and central office personnel. Read more about the reasons for early release and the proposed early release dates.
🥗 Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!
As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to remember to check your students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Families that earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2025-26 school year will be available this summer.
If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2024-25 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price meals.
Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Throughout May and June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, there is a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results. Please contact us with any testing questions or for additional information about how we use test results to support student success.
Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE
Signing up for a SIS ParentVUE account helps you to support your child’s academic success! Caregivers can view important information like attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores through ParentVUE.
Once you have activated a ParentVUE account for an FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same ParentVUE account. A SIS ParentVUE app is available for Apple and Android devices.
Need help creating a SIS ParentVue account? This video walks through the steps. Find out more about SIS ParentVUE.
