Reminders

Next Early Release Monday - Please Complete the Survey by October 18

On Monday, October 28, dismissal will be three hours early, beginning at 12:15  PM. To allow teachers time to complete the state required 27 hours of language arts training, we encourage all parents/caregivers to have their student take their typical route home (bus, walk, kiss and ride) on early dismissal days. While these are designated as early release days — where necessary, we will ensure that student supervision is in place for students who must stay until our regular dismissal time of 3:15 PM.  Typical bus transportation is available at 3:15 PM, and SACC will be open for afternoon SACC families starting at 12:15 PM.

Homeroom teachers have shared the October 28 Early Release Survey with their students' families. We are asking that all families complete the October 28 Early Release Survey by Friday 10/18.  Please review these important details:

  • To ensure safety for each student, parents/caregivers must complete the survey to notify the homeroom teacher if they plan to have their child leave school at 12:15 PM via bus, kiss & ride, or walking by 3:00 PM on Friday, October 18.  
  • Changes to your child’s dismissal plan cannot occur after close of business October 23rd.  
  • If parents/caregivers have an emergency and need to pick up students who are being supervised at school after 12:15 PM on October 28, please contact the office at 703-321-3900. 

Thank you for taking time to review this important information about the upcoming 3-hour early release on Monday, October 28.
