From the desk of Mr. Smith!
DRES families,
Thank you to our families for all your support during the 2021-22 school year. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated. We have a had a great final week of school full of joy and celebration. It was great to see many of our families at our "Success Days", Kindergarten promotion ceremony and our 6th grade promotion ceremony.
Thank you to our staff for all their time and effort as we welcomed over 780 students back to in-person learning (some students for the first time), provided excellent academic and wellness support while balancing COIVD protocols.
We wish everyone in our DRES community a happy and joyful summer.
See you Monday, August 22nd for the first day of school!
Chris Smith
DRES Principal

Tutor.com
All FCPS students will soon have unlimited access to online tutoring support services through Tutor.com at no cost.
Students can connect online any time, and in most subjects for as long as they need. Tutoring is focused instruction provided to students in a one-on-one format through voice or text chat. Tutors will focus on developing students’ strengths and capabilities in reading, mathematics, or other specified subjects. Tutoring services may be accessed before, during, or after school hours and/or on weekends through a link in Schoology.
All tutors must pass a rigorous application process including an extensive background check. No personal information is shared between a student and tutor. All sessions are recorded and transcripts are available for review by teachers and parents/guardians.
Students will automatically have access to the Tutor.com tutoring service unless a parent/guardian submits an opt-out request. Please submit the opt-out request by April 11th. An email from FCPS went to all families yesterday with information on the program and the link to the opt-out form. A hard copy of the opt-out form will go home in the Wednesday folders today. For additional information, visit the FCPS online tutoring services website.
