WELCOME TO
BURROWS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Mr. Randell Ekanger , Principal

Welcome to Burrows Elementary School. We are indeed proud of our school and know that your children will enjoy a profitable experience while they are here with us at Burrows ES. This handbook information is intended to address many of the questions that you might have concerning your child's education.

Burrows Elementary School is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). We review our school practices, policies, and goals annually and our curriculum is revised and updated on a regularly scheduled basis.

Our dedicated staff is very excited about this school year. We sincerely believe that home and school must work closely together for the benefit of children. Your child's education is a critical aspect of their life. The education of your child can be more effectively accomplished when parents understand and promote the school programs and when open communication is fostered. We are here to serve you the best way we can, and we are committed to providing superior quality educational opportunities for your child.

We encourage you to take an active part in your child's education by participating in the Parent Education Association (PEA), the School Improvement Leadership Team (SILT), on school committees, as a volunteer in classrooms, on study trips, and by visiting us at Burrows often. We want you to become active partners in every facet of the educational process here at Burrows. Let's work together to make this the best year ever for your child.

As parents you can support your child and the school by reinforcing the importance of education and playing an active role in your child's educational life. The efforts your child makes in school this year will very likely help establish lifelong habits of work, study, organization, goal setting, and lasting success. Your child has one major responsibility here this year –to become a successful student at Burrows ES. Help us see that your child is successful by ensuring that s/he is prepared for school each day so s/he can accept the challenges and responsibilities to be successful. The year promises to be one filled with excitement, challenge, achievement, and success. Our highly competent and professional staff will provide a challenging curriculum and maintain high expectations for all students. This is going to be a great year for your child.

Again, on behalf of the entire staff, welcome to Burrows Elementary School. We hope your stay at Quantico is a pleasant and rewarding experience for you and your children. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 703-640-6118. We value you as our partners in education.
