Happy Friday, families! 

We can't believe we are nearly half way through October already and nearing the end of the first quarter. Students and staff were happy to have a full week together!

This Wednesday, staff enjoyed lunch to celebrate Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving, provided by some of our very generous families and our family liaison, Sook Smith. Thank you to everyone who contributed and Happy Chuseok to all those who celebrated!! 

On Wednesday, you should have received confirmation of your choice for early release Wednesdays (dismiss at 1:00 or dismiss at 4:00). Remember to contact the office at 703-502-3500 as soon as possible if there is a change to your child's dismissal option for next Wednesday's early release. 

As a reminder, school is closed Monday for students. See other important dates below! 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Jen, Rachel and Katelyn
