Dear Families,
It was a pleasure seeing so many of our students and families at Open House on Friday. Thank you for taking the time to visit, connect, and reconnect with us in person.
We are looking forward to welcoming all of our Dragons to school tomorrow morning. We understand that for many, there are new routines to learn and for others, there may be some adjustments to some routines from the past. Please know that we are here to support every student and family in the transition to a routine of attending school in person 5 days, and we will take it day by day... together!
If you have questions or we can support you or your child(ren) in any way, please reach out to your child's teacher by email or to our team in the front office by calling 703-326-5200.
We appreciate you and are looking forward to working alongside you to ensure an awesome year for every one of our Dranesville Dragons!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gadley, Mrs. Hoak, and Mr. Olivo

FREE Breakfast and Lunch for All Students
Food and Nutrition Services staff is ready to serve healthy meals to students and staff.
Breakfast will be “grab & go” so students are prepared to begin their day of learning. At Dranesville, students will be able to enjoy breakfast in the cafeteria upon arrival before heading to class.
Five days of hot lunches will be back for that mid-day refuel.
Check here for access to meal menus.
