As we close out the first quarter, it’s important to take a moment to recognize how hard our students, staff, and families have worked to have a great start to the school year. We are proud of our students’ successes! They have been focused on setting goals and being resilient when facing challenges. Keep going and keep growing, Wolf Pack!
Last night, our 6th Grade Chorus performed at the Chantilly Pyramid Chorus Concert. This was an evening of lively music and collaboration. Our students, and the students of Lees Corner, Brookfield, Franklin Middle, and Chantilly High schools came together to showcase the talent within our music program. The show ended with the song, “Together We Are Better,” reminding us all that we bring out the best in each other and truly are better together.
Friday is the end of the first quarter and we will have a 2 Hour Early Release. All students will be dismissed at 1:30pm. While we recognize that Friday is Halloween, not all students celebrate. We will not be wearing costumes to school on Friday.
Our arrival procedures will be changing effective Wednesday, November 5th. This year, we started to allow students to enter the building at 8:25 AM. Beginning Wednesday, students will be allowed into the building at 8:30 AM. This is the same time students were able to enter the building last school year. Students will be asked to wait outside until 8:30 AM. Please plan your arrival accordingly.
There are two newly announced boundary meetings specific to the new Western High School.
Looking forward to a great second quarter!
