Message From Attendance Office

 

As the winter holidays approach, please help us by:

  • Calling the Attendance Office at 703-446-1625 prior to Friday the 15th should you know your child will need to be dismissed early on the 15th  or will be absent.
  • If it is a last minute early dismissal or to report an absence on that day, please call your child's Sub-School.                     
  • Sub-School 1-2 Last names A-K    703-446-1700
  • Sub-School 3-4 Last names  L-Z    703-446-1800

We appreciate your assistance as that day tends to be quite busy for our Attendance Office and this will insure proper documentation on your child’s attendance record and will expedite early dismissals.
