Chickens, Ducks, and Quail OH MY!
TC Families,
Spring has sprung at Terra Centre and the chicks have hatched! Students have been having a great time visiting with the chicks, the newly hatched ducks, and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the quail. We look forward to teaching the ducks how to swim!
As a reminder, our final 3-Hour Early Release Wednesday is next week, on May 20th.
We will follow the dismissal plans provided in September.

For SOL grade 3-8 tests, beginning May 6th, scores will be visible in SIS ParentVUE, StudentVUE, and TeacherVUE every Wednesday and Friday.
2026-2027 Terra Centre Optional Parent Input Form
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, our staff collaborates regarding student placements. A variety of factors such as student personalities, friendships, and academic abilities are considered as we create our new classes. Other factors impacting the decision-making process of student class assignments are new student enrollments and teachers moving to a new assignment.
Terra Centre families may assist in this process by sharing insights. Please note the following when providing information. We do not accept requests for specific teachers for the upcoming grade placement. This includes hints that reference specific teachers. We cannot guarantee friend requests nor exceptions for other students whereby there may be a conflict. Additionally, some placements are made due to specific programming needs (i.e. Advanced Academics, Special Education, etc.). We do our best to create a positive learning year for your child.
Please do not email additional information. Completion of the form is optional. However, the deadline for any correspondence is May 15, at 4:00 PM. Thank you for your input.

FCPS News
FCPS Caters to Food Allergies
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.
To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.
Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
