A Note from the Dean A Note from the Dean

Hi 6th grade families!


It's hard to believe, but we are wrapping up our first quarter this week. Even though it is a short week, there is plenty of time to finish any missing assignments and end the quarter strong.


We had a wonderful visit from Loudoun United on Wednesday! Students learned a little more about teamwork, persistence, and dedication and how important those qualities are when achieving your goals.


Our field trip is schedule for December 1st to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly! We will visit from 10-12 and I am seeking chaperones for this trip. Please complete this volunteer application form and return it back to school. If you need a paper copy sent home, please email me directly.


Thank you all you are doing at home to help support your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!
