Grades- Important
Below are 2 documents that are important and should be read by everyone that completes grades for the report card. In short, it explains the new grading policy and the new process if a grade needs to changed after the report card has been sent home. We will no longer be able to just change the grade after the report card has been sent home. The new policy requires a staff member complete the grade change request, detail why the grade needs to be changed and wait for approval.

American Education Week- November 12-16
American Education Week (November 12th- November 16th) is right around the corner. During the week our scholars will be learning how important their academic and social growth can be. Public schools are the cornerstone of our communities. We welcome students of all backgrounds, abilities and incomes, and each of us plays a role in ensuring our schools are open to all. This month, during American Education Week, it’s time for us to show our public school pride! The Centerville Elementary Star Scholars will talk about their academic and social growth through a few activities. If you have any questions about the activities please email Mr. Kilduff (brian.kilduff@fcps.org)
