Dranesville POG Expectations

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.

Dining Expectations

  • 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.

Restrooms Expectations

  • Get teacher permission.
  • Go to the restroom.
  • Flush the toilet.
  • Wash your hands.
  • Leave the restroom and return to class.

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.

Safe, Supported, and Ready to Learn

with Second Step

Second Step

On Tuesday mornings, each of our K-6 class engages a in Second Step lesson during morning meeting time. This month, we are exploring the concept of Growth Mindset.

 Fostering a growth mindset can enhance students’ academic performance and help them develop crucial life skills like resilience, motivation, and the ability to adapt their learning strategies. Adopting a growth mindset can mean the difference between a student persevering through challenges or giving up. 

Here are family links for our first Second Step Unit: Growth Mindset.
