The Principals' Message
Happy Friday, CES Community,
As the academic year draws to a close, it's remarkable to reflect on the journey we've shared. This has been a truly exceptional year, and our sincerest hope is that every student carries forth a wealth of cherished memories from their experiences within our school community this school year. We also encourage you to consider the substantial growth your child has achieved this year—it is truly noteworthy.
At Centreville, we are steadfast in our belief that every child should be empowered to reach their fullest potential, cultivate a profound sense of belonging, and be embraced with joy.
Throughout the summer months, we will disseminate periodic updates containing essential information. Should you require assistance from the school during this period, our office will remain open, and we encourage you to reach out without hesitation.
We extend our best wishes for a fun-filled summer and look forward to welcoming you at our upcoming summer cookouts.
Finally, we'd love to invite parents to connect with Mrs. Killingsworth, our new principal, at our first parent coffee on Friday, June 13th, at 9:00am.
Your Proud Principals,
Jen, Rachel and Katie

Student Test Results
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.

FCPS and Safe Routes to School return with an engaging activity to help get families outside this summer. The Fairfax County Puzzle Hunt, which begins Sunday, June 1, will offer online puzzles that lead to a location in Fairfax County and additional clues toward the final puzzle. Participants who submit the final answer will be entered into a chance to win a prize. Puzzles are filled with creative thinking, logic, and wordplay. They are designed to be challenging and accessible for all skill levels, as well as teaching about bicycle and pedestrian safety.
