Winter
Break
Happy
Holidays and Happy New Year to all of our Seahawk Families. Teachers and staff work extremely hard and spend a great
deal of time to ensure that learning remains the core of our work. Our students
work hard too! This includes efforts outside of regular school hours to
complete assignments and engage in school activities essential to a
well-rounded education. In an effort to
give everyone a break, we asked our teachers to not assign projects or
homework this week to be done specifically over break with due dates
immediately upon return (Jan. 2nd or 3rd). This does not include
long-range assignments that were given in the weeks before a break and tasking
students to use their own time management skills to determine if they need to
work during their holiday.
We hope that this break
is filled with time for rest and relaxation for our students and staff alike.
Holiday
Dinner
Our JROTC, in partnership with the local company Veritiss, had
a great dinner planned last weekend to honor local veterans. Unfortunately that event could not be held due to FCPS activities being cancelled due to the weather. The good news is that
they were able to reschedule with the food vendor and the Sheraton Reston has
come through to host a Holiday Dinner for
individuals and families in need.
Location:
Sheraton Reston 11810 Sunrise Valley Dr, Reston, VA 20191
Date:
Wednesday, Dec. 20th
Time: 4:00 to 7:00PM
Cost: Free; first come first serve
