School supply kits have arrived! We need adult helpers to sort and deliver kits to classrooms on Tuesday from 8/13 from 1:30-4pm. You may bring your children with you if they are able to help sort and deliver. Please email Diana Hiltbrand at dmhiltbrand@gmail.com to offer assistance. We'd be happy to have you join for all or part of the time window. High schoolers interested in service hours may also volunteer.
You will receive a welcome email from your child's homeroom teacher on Tuesday, August 13th by 4:00 pm. If you do not receive it, please call the school on August 14th at 703-467-3500 and we will be happy to find that information for you. It will also be visible in Parent Vue on the 15th. If you are a bus rider, transportation will send out an email by early next week to let you know when your stop and route information is available in Parent Vue.
