Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!

📢 Attendance Matters at VES! 📢

Attendance is crucial for student success. Missing school, for any reason, can negatively impact learning and even affect school accreditation. Due to new state legislation and increased oversight of absences, chronic absenteeism can now impact a school's accreditation rating, similar to how test scores and teacher credentials are factored in. This can affect how Vienna ES compares to other schools and communities. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school every day unless they are truly sick. See FCPS attendance guidelines for details on when to keep your child home. Let's work together to keep VES strong!
