A Note from the Principal
DRES Families,
Congratulations to our 6th grade students as they head to Katherine Johnson MS! We had a wonderful promotion ceremony and we wish them the best in their transition to middle school.
Take a couple minutes to view my final weekly message to students.
Thank you to our PTA, staff, students, and families for the warm farewells I have received. Daniels Run ES is a special community and I am humbled to have a small part in contributing to the success of our school community. The strength of our community lies with the all the staff, students, and families and I look forward to seeing DRES students at Katherine Johnson MS.
Enjoy the summer,
Chris Smith
DRES Principal

William & Mary’s Center for Gifted Education is excited to share its Summer/Saturday Enrichment Program (SEP) with your family. SEP is an academically challenging program with an emphasis on inquiry-based learning. The program is not meant to replace the regular school curriculum; rather, it recognizes the importance of allowing able children to explore additional specialized areas of science, mathematics, humanities, and the arts. There are in-person and virtual courses available in the areas of engineering, music, STEM, coding, writing, social science, and many more.
We are now registering for:
Summer
June 24th-28th
July 8th-12th
August 12th-16th
For more information, and to see what classes are available please visit our website!
🖍️ It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us plan so that we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
Prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms. We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.
