Career Day

Students at Dranesville Elementary are developing Portrait of a Graduate (POG) attributes and learning skills that will help them to succeed in school and in life. The five POG attributes include:

  • Communicator
  • Collaborator
  • Ethical & Global Citizen
  • Creative & Critical Thinker
  • Goal-Directed & Resilient Individual

Think about the opportunities and challenges you encounter each day and the skills you use to navigate them. We would love to invite you to participate in our Career Fair on Monday, June 10th to share how Portrait of a Graduate attributes are important in your career and to help our students envision the career opportunities and possibilities that are available for them to pursue.

Please sign up to communicate your interest and availability to participate in our Career Fair on Monday, June 10th.
