Principal's Message
Dear Cougar Community,
As the first day of school draws near I find myself with the same jitters that always precede the beginning of school. With virtual learning the jitters are a bit bigger as this is new territory for all of us. I want each student, teacher, and family to have a positive experience, even if it isn't the one that we are used to. I also know that with things so different there will be obstacles for us to overcome. The school/home connection is more important than ever!
I appreciate the families that came to any of our distribution events. The chromebook, books, and learning box are all vital to your child completing work each day. If you could not attend please call the school office (703) 392-1317 to schedule an appointment to pick-up your child's materials as soon as possible.
We expect the first day of school to be quite busy with phone calls. I encourage you to read all newsletters carefully, especially the one you received prior to your child's Virtual Orientation. The link can also be found here: https://www.smore.com/v81u7. There will be additional information this weekend to help you log on to Canvas, our Learning Management System. Troubleshooting ahead of time will make the first day go much more smoothly for everyone.
If you need your child's username and password please reach-out to your child's teacher before Tuesday morning.
Together we can make virtual learning in Manassas Park a huge success!
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gwynn
