Kindness is at the heart of our school community, and today we celebrate our students who demonstrate it daily.
On World Kindness Day, remember that even small acts—like inviting someone to join a game or sharing encouraging words—can have a lasting impact.
Let’s continue making kindness the foundation of our learning! 🌼❤️

All parents of school-aged children and youth with disabilities who receive special education services in Virginia are requested to complete the VDOE annual Parent Involvement Survey.
This survey will remain open through December 13, 2024. Please complete one survey for each of your children who received special education services during the 2023-2024 school year.
Through the action of a committed group of youth with disabilities, the General Assembly officially recognized October as Disability History and Awareness Month (DHAM). The youth also developed this credo: Disability history education and awareness will promote positive attitudes in schools creating a culture of mutual respect, understanding, and equal opportunities for all.
This month highlights the success that Virginians with disabilities have had in reducing the barriers they face to employment, healthcare, education, and community living, while also helping raise awareness of the ongoing contributions and achievements they bring to the Commonwealth throughout the year.
