Dogwood is currently a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. We began our candidacy in March 2017. After four years, we are finally in the final stages of our candidacy! In June, we submitted our application stating that we are ready to become an authorized IB PYP school.
On April 8 and 9, we have two IB educators visiting Dogwood virtually as part of our verification visit. This is the final step before we can become an authorized IB PYP school. During this visit, the IB educators have the opportunity to virtually visit classrooms and talk to our staff, some students, and some parents. We are looking forward to this visit and the opportunity to share our learning and work from the past four years.
A few months after this visit, we will receive feedback and hopefully acknowledgement that we are an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme school. We would become just the second authorized IB PYP school in Fairfax County!
If you have any questions about our journey or the visit, please reach out to our PYP Coordinator, Adrienne Schumer at acschumer@fcps.edu.
We are excited to host our Virtual Kindergarten Orientation Event for our rising Kindergarten families on May 4th from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. Families will learn about the Kindergarten student experience at Dogwood, meet our Kindergarten team, and receive information about registration. A link for the event will be sent prior to the event. Please help us spread the word to any families you know with a rising Kindergarten Dogwood Dragon! |
