We are Thankful for Our Students' Presence
 We are thankful for our students' presence every day. When even one student is absent, it impacts teaching and learning in the classroom. Our teachers intentionally plan grade level instruction as well as intervention and enrichment to meet students where they are and provide the lift and stretch that they need. Daily instruction across content areas will continue through December 19th. Please help us to maintain the continuity of daily routines by making sure that your healthy children are in school.

Students can record books that they've read on paper reading logs or online. Additional paper reading logs are available in the main office.
 💙Thank you to all of our families who contributed to our Food Drive. The donation that we were able to give to Food for Others is a reflection of the care that Dranesville has for each other and for our community.
💙We are also thankful for the generous anonymous donation from a member of our community. The donation of $1200 was directed to Food and Nutrition Services to help clear unpaid meal accounts.
💙Dranesville will be having a Books and Board Game Drive from December 1st- December 18th. We welcome new board games and new or gently used books. These books and board games will be enjoyed by our students and appreciated by our teachers.
