Students in second grade have been learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. Part of this learning is experiencing the cycle by growing caterpillars in their classrooms. Now those cocoons are opening, and the monarch butterflies are being set free into our gardens!

Principal's Message

We recently received our annual school rating from Virginia’s new School Performance and Support Framework, and we have wonderful progress to celebrate! Thanks to the hard work of our students and staff, our overall school score jumped to 81.12 out of 100 this year.

We saw exciting improvements across the board, including:

• Academic Growth: More students met or exceeded their individual learning goals.
• Academic Mastery: Our students showed strong improvements, particularly in science and math.
• School Readiness: We saw fantastic, consistent attendance from our students.

Because of this hard work, our overall score reached the “Meets Expectations” level! However, because we also qualify for extra federal resources to help specific student groups, our official state rating was adjusted to “Approaching Expectations.” We are thrilled to receive these additional resources, as they will help us provide even more targeted support to the students who need it.

Our students are so much more than a test score, and we are incredibly proud of the joy and learning happening in our classrooms every day. We will continue using small-group instruction and tailored support to help every Woodchuck thrive. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership!

Sincerely,

Felicia Usher
