Attendance Matters at Dranesville

Classroom City

Sixth Graders created an arcade called Classroom City. Pictured above is a game called Sling Shot-19. Students in K-6 visited Classroom City, played games, earned tickets, and traded their tickets in for prizes (made by 6th graders).


Our Dragons Attended, Connected, and Learned Together!

Day 175 Attendance

Thank you, Dranesville families, for your partnership in building and maintaining routines that supported students' daily school attendance this school year. Our Chronic Absentee rate has decreased by 13% since the 2022-2023 school year. 93% of our Dragons are attending, connecting, and learning daily. We are looking forward to one more day of learning together. 

Tomorrow, June 12th, is our last day of school.

Students will be dismissed at 2:05 pm.


One Day

Our Dragons are Learners Everywhere

Passport Photos

Our Dragons will grow their Portrait of a Graduate (POG) skills all summer long! We invite all of our Dragons returning and new to share your summer learning adventures. We have prepared a Passport for students to take on their summer adventures. We look forward to celebrating everyone's learning journeys together in August. 

In the meantime, you are welcome to share photos of your summer learning adventures.
