Hello Lake Anne Families,
Our Dolphins were "feeling the love" this week at Lake Anne! Students and staff enjoyed a fun Valentine's day and we "turned Lake Anne Red" with our school gear and fun outfits. Students and staff practiced our core beliefs of respect and relationships as they shared kind words with each other, made each other cards, and shared their hopes and dreams for their classrooms!
As a reminder, Monday, January 19, 2024 is a holiday for students and staff. We hope that everyone enjoys the long weekend and that you take some time to have fun, rest, and recharge.
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Dr. Brittany Rogers, Assistant Principal
We hope to see all of our families at Math and Literacy Night! Come out and learn some fun games and strategies to use at home with your kiddos! Lake Anne Teachers and Staff will be leading a variety of stations and sharing fun activities with families!

A student transfer is valid for one year only. A parent or guardian must submit a renewal application each year for student transfer consideration. A renewal application may be submitted for students who continue to meet the same student transfer criteria as indicated on the original student transfer request. For students no longer meeting the same student transfer criteria, a new transfer request must be submitted.
All students will be considered eligible for student transfer renewal unless the principal indicates a student is not eligible for renewal in the Online Student Transfer Application Admin View or the transfer type does not allow for renewal e.g. graduating, moving from one level to another, or family relocation.
Letters from the principal will be automatically generated from the online student transfer application in February for students eligible and not eligible for renewal and sent to the enrolling parents primary email address.
For detailed information regarding the renewal process, please visit the Online Student Transfer Application: Renewal Process webpage.
