Dranesville's 6th Grade Chorus will be performing the National Anthem at George Mason University on Wednesday, January 15, 2025. General admission tickets to the GM Women's Basketball Game vs. Loyola are available for purchase online. We would love to see your family there!

Dranesville CARES
Our school-wide expectations are grounded in Portrait of a Graduate attributes and skills that students need to succeed in school and life. It is important that we are all caring communicators who use respectful words, goal-directed and resilient individuals who take ownership of our learning community and global and ethical citizens who take action to care for our school and community.
While Dining at Dranesville
 |
|
In order to enhance the dining experience for all students at Dranesville, intentional instruction is taking place around our expectations for all students while dining in the cafeteria. Third graders, pictured to the left, are taking care of themselves by sitting, eating, and enjoying table talk with peers sitting at their tables. |
- I will be respectful by entering the cafeteria walking quietly.
- I will be responsible by getting my lunch and utensils before sitting down.
- I will be responsible by sitting in my seat.
- I will eat lunch and talk quietly (table voices) with my neighbor.
- I will be responsible by cleaning up when my table is called.
- I will be safe by staying seated until my teacher picks me up from my table.
Restroom Use
|
There is a sign out/sign in system for leaving classrooms to use the restroom. Students are expected to be responsible for themselves, our restrooms, and their learning time each time they use the restroom at school.
When in the restroom, we expect students to "Go, Flush, Wash, and Leave", so they can return to their learning.

 |
Transitioning Through Hallways
 |
|
- Use walking feet in the hallway.
- Stop at intervals to check with the adult for instructions to continue or wait.
- Keep hands and feet to yourself.
- Use quiet voices to respect other classes that are working.
|
Please talk with your child about ways that they honor our school-wide expectations in class, throughout the school building, and online every day.
Dranesville CARES about each other and the world.

As a school, we are committed to teaching students the skills that they need to connect and thrive. On Tuesday mornings, beginning January 7th, all classes K-6 will engage in a weekly morning meeting. |
These morning meeting experiences will help students to develop skills in the areas of self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, self-awareness, and responsible decision making. Families will receive information about Second Step through weekly Dranesville Tuesday Connections.
