Veteran's Day Lunch

On Monday, November 10th, 2025 Centreville Elementary School would like to continue our tradition of honoring veterans with a special event at our school for Veterans Day.  We will have a luncheon prepared in your honor that you will be able to enjoy with your student(s) at CES.  Any relatives of our CES students who are veterans are welcome to join us in our event.  

We also would like to invite you to read to students in classrooms around our building.  This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about how you have served and to show their appreciation for your service.  If interested, veterans may choose between two time slots to be a guest reader in several classrooms around the school. Lunch for all guest readers and their children will be provided from 12:15pm - 1:15pm.

Choice 1 will be 10:45am - 12:15pm reading in classrooms

Choice 2 will be 1:15pm – 2:45pm reading in classrooms. 

Thank you so much for your service.  We hope many veterans will be able to attend this special event at CES. If you are interested, please sign up using the form below.

Meet your Family Vision Group Representatives!

The Family Vision Group (FVG) consists of a school-based representation of FCPS caregivers, bridging communication and perspective with the superintendent’s office. Two family members from each FCPS school attend these meetings to hear updates from the superintendent, communicate central office plans, and share feedback on behalf of their school’s community (caregivers and staff). FVG topics consist of a variety of issues, including safety and security, AI in education, facilities and school maintenance, school budget updates, cell phone policies, and teacher workforce and instruction. CES’ representatives are Katie Hocker and Alexandria Grant-Presser.

Our FVG representatives will share superintendent updates at the monthly PTA meetings. The next meeting is on October 27, 2025, at 6 pm in the CES library. There is a virtual option for those who cannot attend in person. 

To share district-based feedback, questions, or thoughts to be brought up at the next Family Vision Group, you can

(1)     Share in person at the next PTA Meeting

(2)     Share via email at pelect@centrevillepta.org

(3)     Submit your thoughts via the FVG dropbox in the office
