WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!
The LCPS Annual Family Survey will be emailed to you on February 20. The LCPS Annual Staff, Student and Family Survey is the most extensive and influential feedback survey conducted by Loudoun County Public Schools each year. We use the results to assess the learning climate in our building and make plans for the following year. We want to hear from everyone so that we can make the best decisions for ALL our students!
The parent/family survey will only take a few minutes of your time. You will receive an email from Dr. Aaron Spence that will include a link to take the survey. You will be asked to fill out a survey for each school in which you have a child enrolled (elementary, middle, high or program). For more information go to the Stakeholder Surveys 2024 Information webpage
If you do not receive a survey email by February 22, contact research@lcps.org.
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us!

IT'S TIME TO ORDER YOUR 2024 SCHOOL YEARBOOK!
EMES Students Win The DC United Challenge!
At the beginning of January DC United presented a challenge to the students at Evergreen Mill. They challenged us to raise 1000 house points as a school in a two week period of time. If we could do so they promised us one free child ticket for each adult ticket purchased for the home opener at Audi Field against New England on February 24th. Our students not only met, but exceeded expectations by earning 1768 points over the past two weeks of school! DC United has made good on their promise and you can purchase tickets for their opening match using the link below. For every adult ticket purchased, you receive a child ticket for free to the game! EMES will be recognized at the game (on the scoreboard I believe) as part of their student achiever initiative. Our local DC United feeder team, Loudoun United FC, caught wind of this and will be offering us a special ticket deal for the home opener in March. Stay tuned for me details on that upcoming event!
CONGRATULATIONS TO CYPRESS, JUNIPER, & SEQUOIA HOUSES ON THEIR THREE WAY TIE!
