Celebrating 100 Days of School
Our Dranesville Dragons celebrated 100 days of attending, connecting, learning and community with our second 'Pie the Principal' and AttenDance Party.
100 days of learning and JOY culmintated in a dance party on our 100th day of school.
Attendance Matters
Dranesville's chronic absentee rate as of the 101st day of school is 8.7%. The chronic absentee rate on the 101st day of school last year was 13.5%.
Last Friday was a celebration of community as we marked our 100th day of school. Our campus was alive with energy during our special “Atten-DANCE” party. It was a joy-filled day defined by laughter, school spirit, and genuine camaraderie, reminding us all of the power of showing up for one another. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our families for your continued partnership and support; your efforts in getting your students to school every day are the foundation of their success. We are so proud of our students' commitment to being present and look forward to finishing the rest of the year just as strong!
