Attend, Achieve! Attendance Matters!

YAY

This year, spring break is April 3-7. We will be eager to welcome your children back in school on Monday, April 10. Their attendance is very important. Every day, our teachers will be teaching, and students will be learning. Studies have shown that just two absences per month can cause students to fall behind. Let’s finish this school year strong.

If your child must stay home due to illness or emergency, please notify our attendance line at 703-326-5252 or  DranesvilleElem.Attendance@fcps.edu.
