Hi Lake Anne Dolphin Families,
We hope you’ve had a wonderful week! It was a joy to celebrate National Dolphin Day together on Tuesday. Our students had a fantastic time, and we are so grateful to our PTA for making the day so special for everyone.
We are also excited for our 6th grade basketball game against Forest Edge Elementary School this evening. We hope you’re able to join us—please see the flyer below for more information!
As we continue through the school year, we want to share an important attendance update. Our current chronic absenteeism rate is 12.4%. As you know, our goal is to stay below 10% all year, and we are working hard to get there. Please note that attendance is taken daily through the last day of school. This includes tardies and early dismissals. Every day we partner together to keep chronic absenteeism down, we provide all Lake Anne Dolphins with the environment to thrive and succeed. Let’s continue working together to reach and stay below 10% for the remainder of the year.
As the weather gets warmer and summer approaches, we appreciate your support in ensuring all of our Dolphins are present, on time, and engaged in learning each day. Thank you for your continued partnership!
Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Mrs. Valencia Chenier, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Leslie Grumbach, Assistant Principal
