EXCELLENCE IN EQUITY AWARD

Dr. Brabrand and the FCPS School Board has selected Lake Anne to receive the new Superintendents Equity in Excellence Award.  This is a new and very important recognition to celebrate our school’s progress as we continue to raise the bar and close student achievement gaps.  After a careful analysis of the Division SOL data, Lake Anne has accomplished the following milestone:

  • Top 10 schools with the largest reduction in achievement gap in English

Lake Anne, along with the other schools, will be honored at the School Board meeting on October 24, 2019 at 7:00 PM to recognize this achievement. 


POSITIVITY PROJECT

Next week, the Positivity Project character of the week is "Integrity" and students will learn about doing the right thing when nobody is watching.  They will practice what they preach and maintain a consistent pattern of behavior aligned with their values.  #otherpeoplematter
