Principal's Message
I also wanted to remind all of our families that students will return to school on Monday, November 8. Tomorrow is a student holiday while our staff participates in professional learning. Monday is parent-teacher conference day, and we are excited to welcome our families into the building to meet with their child's teachers. Students will learn from home on Wednesday and Friday through asynchronous work in Schoology. Tuesday and Thursday are days off from school. Let us know if you have any questions. Every day, though, your child can read for 20-30 minutes, write about what they read, and practice math using Dreambox and Reflex. This will keep their skills fresh!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Short, Principal
Welcome Ms. Bichy!
Hi everyone,
My name is Ms. Bichy and I am the new long-term school counseling substitute. I am so excited to be a part of Sterling Elementary and this community! I graduated from Elon University in May 2020 and worked previously as a parent liaison for three schools in Western Loudoun while attending graduate school. I also coach the Broad Run High School cheerleading team. In my free time I love to read, exercise, spend time with friends and family, and go to the beach. I am very excited to get to know you all and your students. Looking forward to a great year!

Fifth graders have been working hard on new music literacy skills, preparing for a four-part ensemble. Their cooperation and focus on this project has been amazing!
First graders have begun working on our first musical of the year, “It’s a Jungle Out There!” This will be shared with families and the school virtually. Families of first graders, be on the lookout for a newsletter with more information on this show coming home soon! We are so excited!
