The students enjoyed listening and moving along to the music. Thank you TAFFY Presents and Country Currents for a wonderful concert!
 Happy Assistant Principals Week
This week, we celebrate Assistant Principals' Week, and we'd like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to our very own Haley Guglielmi!
Haley goes above and beyond every day to support our students, staff, and school community. Her dedication, leadership, and positive attitude are truly inspiring. We are so lucky to have her at Kilmer Center School!

Transition Lunch & Learn
April 17, 2024 - 12:00 noon
Open Discussion
Live, on-line presentation on ZOOM
Planning for the transition from school to adult services can be an overwhelming task. Once your child exits the school system, adult services are based on eligibility criteria and funding availability. These twice-monthly, small group sessions are an opportunity to discuss the challenges and discover resources the help in creating a plan for the future.
It’s never too early to plan; you don’t have to wait until your student is close to graduation. Also, these Lunch & Learns would be a great way for families who started the process but got overwhelmed or stuck to find the motivation to restart the process and press forward.
The Transition Lunch & Learns are held virtually on Zoom. All of The Arc of Northern Virginia's webinar events are FREE to attend, but pre-registration is required.

Individuals over the age of 16 may sign-up for an Emergency Health Profile through the Emergency Health Profile Association. Legal guardians may sign up individuals under the age of 16. This team will also discuss 988 and options to call during a behavioral/mental health emergency, and what you can expect.
