Principal Feedback
On Monday, March 18, Centreville High School parents/guardians will be sent an email containing a link to complete the online FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form. This questionnaire is part of the VDOE-mandated Performance Evaluation Program for principals and offers parents/guardians an opportunity to provide anonymous input about various topics related to our school. These topics include how the principal demonstrates/impacts instructional leadership, school climate, management, communication and community relations, culturally responsive and equitable leadership, and professionalism within the school.
The questionnaire will be administered between March 18 and April 5. When you receive an email from FCPS Surveys, please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your feedback matters! Thank you!

Attendance Update
Our current chronic absenteeism rate as of March 15th is 16.4%. Our goal is to stay below 15% for the school year. Please make sure that students continue to attend school each day, even as we approach spring break and throughout the fourth quarter. Attendance for a partial day is better than missing the whole day.
