Attendance Matters at Dranesville

Parents as Educational Partners

Families and teachers engaged in an eight-week program, Parents as Educational Partners, which was about building a powerful family-school partnership.


Family Paint Night

We are looking forward to creatively connecting with you tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20th from 6-7pm for an Alma Thomas inspired Family Paint Night. Even if you were unable to RSVP, we welcome you to join us. 


Every Day Counts

Attendance Matters

 

As we approach Spring Break, please remember that our teachers have instruction and assessments planned through Friday, March 22nd. In addition to the academic learning, students' joy is important to us. Please be sure that your child is present March 22nd so they can participate in the Pie the Principal attendance celebration.

Acknowledge FCPS Employees Going Above and Beyond

FCPS Cares

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care.

We invite you to submit your story, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees, specifically at Dranesville.


Supporting Dranesville Dragons

We are thankful for our community partners who support us by providing weekend meals, field trip scholarships, and student supplies. Please consider making a contribution to assist with the continuity of weekend meals and student supplies as they need replenishment throughout the school year. Thank you!
