Attendance Is A Key Ingredient to Success
Regular, on-time attendance is a key ingredient to your child’s success. Keeping in mind that students are to stay home if they have a fever (of 100.4 or above), vomiting, or diarrhea, attending school must be a top priority.
Children who attendance school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers.
Visit the FCPS website for more attendance resources.
Healthy Habits to Reduce the Spread of Flu and Other Germs
Fairfax County is seeing very high levels of influenza (flu) illness. Visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers for flu-like illness have increased, especially among children, and multiple flu outbreaks have occurred in our community and school settings.
Consider these tips from the Fairfax County Health Department to help reduce the spread of flu and other germs.
Thank you, Dranesville families, for practicing healthy habits to keep your child and our school community healthy and safe.
Cold Weather Guidance for Outdoor Activities
Brrrr! It’s cold out there! Please note that unless the National Weather Service (NWS) issues an Extreme Cold Weather or Wind Chill Warning Alert or Advisory Dranesville, students will participate in outdoor activities including: recess, physical education, and scheduled fire drills. During cold spells, please have children prepared to spend time outdoors (jackets, gloves, and hats). Contact our Family Liaison, Paulina Hidalgo, if your child is in need of any of these items.
Enhancing Safety and Security
for Staff and Students
School safety and security are being enhanced across FCPS with a new emergency management system. The system includes sensors installed in schools and a wearable emergency response button (ERB) for staff.
The button allows staff to quickly and discreetly request help and, once pressed, they provide location information within the school. The ERB will only work on school grounds and does not rely on cellular service. It is not meant to replace calling 911, but is an additional safety tool that can be used if calling 911 may not be safe or practical.
Learn more about the emergency management system. You may submit questions to the FCPS Chief of Safety and Security Office.
