Tomorrow, Monday, October 28, we have a 3-hour early release. You should have received confirmation on Friday regarding your student’s dismissal plan, either leaving at 1:05 p.m. or staying at SVES until 4:05 p.m. Coordinating these plans for each student is a significant effort, and we thank you for confirming with us.
Please avoid making changes to your child's dismissal plan unless absolutely necessary. Last-minute adjustments created confusion during the last dismissal, impacting students, teachers, and the office. Our priority is student safety, and your support helps keep the process smooth and secure on Monday.

Sunrise Valley swag was a big hit this fall! From the online store orders to the pop up store at the Fall Festival, the Sunrise Valley community was eager to show their school spirit. All orders that were placed online before the Fall Festival were delivered to the students in their classrooms last week. Ms. Day and Ms. DiPietro will receive free Sunrise Valley hoodies as their classrooms purchased the most spirit wear. We'll plan to open up another pop up shop soon, so stay tuned for more.

Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. Information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
