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. |
We are so proud of our mathematicians for completing an average of 54 ST Math puzzles during the first week of this challenge!
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.

School Board Reviews Draft School Year Calendar Options
 |
|
At their January 17 work session, the School Board discussed draft calendars that were created for the 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26 school years. Draft calendars were developed using the following criteria as a framework: |
- Federal, state, and Virginia Department of Education guidance.
- Superintendent’s priorities.
- School Board input.
- Student absentee data.
- Staff absentee data.
- Surrounding jurisdictions’ calendars.
- Survey results.
- Calendar Feedback Committee input.
You may view the draft calendars and other related documents in Boarddocs. The calendars will be presented as new business during the School Board meeting on Thursday, January 26. The Board is scheduled to vote on the calendars during their meeting on Thursday, February 9.
