The school office will be closed the week of Spring Break, March 25-29, 2024.
Thank you for your diligence in helping keep the students safe during arrival to school each morning. With the nice weather, we have noticed an uptick in the number of students dropped off earlier than 8:50 am. Please remember that staff supervision of students during arrival begins at 8:50-8:55 am. To ensure student safety and supervision please follow the procedures listed below:
- Kiss and ride student remain in the vehicle with their parent/guardian until staff directs them to disembark, starting at 8:50 am
- Parents of students who walk to school or park in the upper deck should remain with their child, at the front door until 8:50 am

A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, and will be viewable, depending on weather, in Fairfax County. The eclipse will begin in our area around 2:04 p.m. and end around 4:32 p.m., with the maximum eclipse occurring around 3:20 p.m.
Because the timing overlaps with dismissal, it is crucial that students understand the importance of safe viewing practices. We encourage families to review these Solar Eclipse Resources, especially the eye safety information. We hope everyone takes the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary natural phenomenon while prioritizing safe solar viewing.
