30 Day Attendance Update

Dranesville Elementary School's chronic absentee rate is 8.3% compared to 10.1% this time last school year.


Tips for Healthy Routines

September is Attendance Awareness Month. Some of the ways you can help your children create healthy routines and a habit of getting to school on time every day include: 

⭐     Set a regular bedtime and morning routine. (Need help? Download this  checklist in English or Spanish.)

⭐     Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.

⭐     If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers or    school counselors for advice on how to make them feel comfortable and            excited about learning.

⭐     Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call   on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent. You are also                        welcome to call our team at Dranesville 703-326-5200. We are here to              help!

Whenever possible, avoid medical appointments or extended trips when school is in session. Here is the 24-25 school year calendar for your planning.
