A Message from the Principal
As we reach the end of a wonderful school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your incredible partnership and support. It's truly been a year filled with learning, growth, and countless memorable moments for our students and staff.
This year, our school community truly shone through events that brought us all closer. From the spirited Turkey Trot, where our students ran their hearts out, to the concerts that showcased our young musicians' talents. RAM (Reading and Math) Night was an evening of learning together as a family. The excitement and curiosity at Family STEAM Night were inspiring, proving that our students are future leaders, innovators, and scientists. Our first SCA CRES Got Talent Night showcased the amazing gifts of our students. These gatherings are truly what make Centre Ridge such a special place to learn and grow.
Our students and staff have truly excelled this year, achieving significant milestones. Our dedicated team successfully increased our Multilingual Learner’s English growth by 10%. We reached our goal of keeping chronic absenteeism below 10%. Our teachers have implemented GLAD strategies which have transformed how our students engage with reading and writing across all grade levels. We also embraced using AVID organizational strategies, and I am incredibly proud of how our students have risen to the challenge,. These advancements are a direct result of the hard work and commitment of our exceptional teachers and the tireless effort of every single student.
The dedication and achievements of our staff have been nothing short of extraordinary. They consistently go above and beyond to create a nurturing and challenging environment where every child can thrive. And to our amazing students, your curiosity, resilience, and enthusiasm inspire us every single day. You've worked incredibly hard, learned so much, and made us all immensely proud.
Wishing you all a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer! We can't wait to welcome you back for another exciting year in August.
Sincerely,
Erika Aspuria
Principal

End of Year Medicine Pickup
All medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after dismissal on the last day of school will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

FCPS News
📚 Finishing Up Our Exploration of the Earth in Language Arts 📚
Benchmark Unit 8 in Language Arts is coming to a close! Over the last several weeks, our students have learned, read, and written about our earth and how it shapes our lives.
Connect with your child’s learning at school with these fun questions and hands-on activities at home:
- Question: What’s the most interesting fact you learned about the earth from this unit?
- Activity: Check the temperature outside at different times of the day. Graph the changes and talk about how the sun affects temperature throughout the day.
At the end of the unit, your child will take their unit magazine home. The magazine includes an activity calendar with fun ways to help students build on what they’re learning at each grade level. You can also find information on how to support your child’s reading at home on the Benchmark Families website.
