Message from the Principal

Greetings Keene Mill Families,

It’s hard to believe it is already October! It was wonderful to see so many families and cultures represented at International Night last Friday. I really enjoyed learning about our many cultures and traditions.

Students have been working hard on beginning of the year assessments. These measures inform teachers to support your child’s learning throughout the year. Results of these assessments can be viewed on ParentVue once the county’s testing window has closed. Please keep a careful eye on communication from your child’s teacher to schedule a 1^st quarter parent/teacher conference.

Partnering with you to keep our school community safe and thriving is always our top priority. Everyday attendance plays such a vital role in your child's confidence and success, and seeing our students arrive on time each morning ready to learn makes all the difference!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Cathy Wood

Advanced Academic Programs Parent Information Session

Please join Keene Mill’s Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Mrs. Julia Brandt, to learn more about the various levels of service, understand the screening process, and gain insight into Fairfax County Public Schools’ philosophy regarding Advanced Academic Programs. The presentation will also explain how elementary students’ advanced learning needs are met through a continuum of services.
