Happy Summer, Dolphins!
As we reach the middle of July, we hope this season has brought your family time to relax, recharge, and make wonderful memories together. Whether you've been traveling, exploring close to home, or simply enjoying a slower pace, we hope you're finding moments of joy and connection.
While summer is in full swing, there's plenty happening here at Lake Anne! We've loved welcoming students participating in our Summer Learning program. Their excitement, curiosity, and energy have brought our hallways back to life, and it's been wonderful to see our Dolphins learning and growing throughout the summer. Behind the scenes, our staff has been busy preparing for the new school year. Our team is getting classrooms ready, planning engaging learning experiences, and making sure everything is in place to welcome all of our Dolphins back in August. We can't wait to open our doors for another incredible year of learning, growth, and community.
Until then, we wish you a restful, safe, and enjoyable remainder of the summer. Thank you for being such an important part of our school family. We can't wait to see all of our Dolphins back on campus in August, ready for another amazing year together!
Summer Office Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Warmly,
Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Mrs. Valencia Chenier, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Leslie Grumbach, Assistant Principal
