Dranesville CARES
Our Dranesville Dragons are engaging in grade level morning meetings to learn our school agreements.
- We will consider the feelings of others when communicating by using respectful words.
- We will be responsible by taking ownership of our learning community.
- We will be caring by listening to, learning about, and valuing others.
These agreements also support a positive learning environment for all members of our school community.
To reinforce these agreements at home, consider these questions:
- How did you show respect for others today?
- Did you take responsibility for your actions?
- How did you demonstrate care for others?
By engaging in these conversations, you can help your child develop the skills needed to thrive in school and beyond. Thank you for your partnership in nurturing respect, empathy, responsibility, ownership, care, and inclusivity in your child and our school community
Dranesville Dragons are Attending, Connecting and Learning
 580 of our 587 students in K-6 were present for our second day of school!
Thank you, families, for establishing routines that support daily attendance. Our teachers are planning and teaching lessons daily to support every students' learning.
