Hello Lake Anne Families,
Welcome to March! It feels like the months are flying by this school year. We'd like to extend a special thank you to the PTA and Mr. Johnson for putting on a fabulous Family Board Games Night last week. Students and families had a great time learning many new games and you could hear cheers of excitement throughout the cafeteria.
Next week on March 7 from 6:00-7:30, we are looking forward to another great family event, Math and Literacy Night! Families will be able to learn about new math and reading games and strategies that will help support their students at home. All families who attend will be entered into a raffle to win some fun games to play at home! Raffle winners will be announced on Friday 3/8/24 on the Live WLAS Morning News Show!
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Dr. Brittany Rogers, Assistant Principal

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.
