ST Math Winter Challenge

ST Math Winter Puzzle Challenge

All students at Dranesville Elementary School are participating in the ST Math Winter Puzzle Challenge. Our goal is to have an average school-wide puzzle completion of 50 puzzles each week from January 17th -February 13th. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with your child about their ST Math Journey. When students log into ST Math through Clever, they are able to see their personal puzzle completion progress.

Dranesville Loves to Read and Valentines Day

#DranesvilleCARES

DES Dragon Red Heart

Let's bring on the JOY and the love for reading! We welcome our families to be part of our celebration of reading by sharing a story in your child's classroom on Tuesday, February 14th. If you would like to be a guest reader, please send an email or Talking Points message to your child's teacher.

Students will have the opportunity to exchange Valentines on Tuesday, February 14th.  If your child would like to exchange Valentines, they should bring one for each student in their homeroom. Due to food allergies and our commitment to healthy snacks in school, we ask that students exchange Valentines without food and/or candy.
