Thank you, Principals!
 It's Principal's Appreciation Week this week. At Weyanoke, we are grateful for three amazing leaders. Our principal, Ms. Usher, is a responsive, caring leader who looks out for every student and staff member every day. She is supported by Ms. Doyle and Ms. Alexander, who are both remarkable administrators. All three of our principals are deeply caring, creative educators who help all of us do our best for our Woodchucks!

COVID-19 Compensatory Education Plan Meetings for Families of Students with Disabilities
Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to implementing a plan for COVID-19 compensatory education as part of its obligation to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students with disabilities. Please join us at an informational meeting for parents/guardians and other stakeholders:
Visit our website to see what language interpretation services will be available at each meeting and to learn more about the COVID-19 Compensatory Education Plan.
Why Do We Need a Strategic Plan?
 The Strategic Planning process is well underway, with the Community Forums beginning in less than three weeks. But why do we need a new strategic plan?
Similar to a roadmap, a strategic plan clearly defines the best route for us to take in the years ahead to reach our goals. Our students are preparing for careers that don’t exist today. In order to keep pace with these needs, we need to rethink our plans for the future—and how we will best serve our students for this new era.
Register Now for Community Forums!
Visit our Strategic Planning webpage for the schedule of Community Forums. Register for the one that is most convenient for you and get more information on our exciting Strategic Planning process!
