Back to School Night
Back to School Night is on Wednesday, September 5th for all grade
levels K-6. At 6:30pm, parents are invited to the library to “Meet the
Specialist.” You will be able to meet the librarian along with the art, music, and physical education teachers who work with your students. Additionally, our counselors will be
on hand. Teachers will be in their classrooms at 6:55pm to greet you. We ask
that parents refrain from arriving at the classrooms earlier than 6:55pm to
allow teachers time to prepare for their presentations. There will be two 40
minute information sessions in each classroom so that families with multiple
children can attend more than one session.
Parking will be limited. Please consider walking if you live
close to the school. We ask that children do not attend this evening event.
In this busy world, it is difficult to do all that is asked of
us, but one evening at Back-to-School Night will put you in personal touch with
teachers who will be working with you to ensure your son’s or daughter’s
success.
You are the most important people in your son’s or daughter’s
life. Here at Virginia Run Elementary School we know the value of parent
involvement. We will all do a better job with our students if we communicate
throughout the year.
New Parent Coffee
On Friday,
September 7, from 9:15am until 10:30am, the PTA and
administrators will host a coffee for parents new to Virginia Run Elementary
School in the cafeteria. All new parents (and non school-age children) are
welcome to join us. You will have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Edwards,
Principal, Mr. Skerker, Assistant Principal, and our
counselors. Our PTA members will be available to answer any questions about the
community and to offer assistance to new families. Please RSVP by calling the
main office at 703-988-8900. We hope to see you there.
ATTENTION KINDERGARTEN PARENTS
According to Transportation Services, the bus driver will return
your kindergartener to their school if your child is not met at the door
of the school bus by a parent, a guardian/caregiver, or sibling, middle
school or higher and asked for by name.
Volunteer/Visitor Computer Check-In
If you are planning to come into the school, either to volunteer
in the classroom, have lunch with your child, or attend a meeting, you MUST
register on the computer located in the office. If you are “working” at the
school on a VOLUNTEER basis, please check in and out as a VOLUNTEER. If
you are coming to visit your child at lunch and are not “working” or “volunteering”
in some way, then you must check IN and OUT as a VISITOR. The only
time you would manually sign in as a VISITOR or VOLUNTEER is if the computer is
down. You will continue to manually sign your child in/out when your
child is TARDY or LEAVING EARLY.
Please be aware that the office staff will be asking visitors, prior to providing access to the school building, the purpose of their visit. It will be important for all visitors to have a government issued ID when visiting the school.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
