We as students, teachers, families, and communities must band together to maintain a sense of order in our schedule. We have come to expect our School Board to do what is commonly accepted as the right thing to do - this is no exception. In place of our half-days, we are asking for a two- or three-day extension to our Winter Break, changing the dates from Dec. 23 - Jan. 1 to Dec. 23 - Jan. 3.

On top of signing our petition, we encourage you to contact your school board member, if not all of them. Here is their contact information:

Milton C. Johns, Chairman At-Large, mjohns@pwcs.edu,703.791.8709
Betty D. Covington, Potomac District, bcovington@pwcs.edu,703.221.0883
Michael I. Otaigbe, Ph.D., Coles District, motaigbe@pwcs.edu,571.722.3357
Gilbert A. "Gil" Trenum, Brentsville District, gtrenum@pwcs.edu,571.722.8874
Lisa E. Bell, Potomac District, lbell@pwcs.edu,571.274.3045

Lille G. Jessie, Occoquan District, ljessie@pwcs.edu,571.659.1636
Loree Y. Williams, Woodbridge District, lwilliams@pwcs.edu,571.242.8259

This is how the county (according to their website) wants you to contact them:
--Include your name
--Identify the school the issue is related to
--The name of the student(s) the issue/concern is related to, and the grade level(s)
--Identify the issue/concern/idea itself
--Please describe your concerns in 250 words or less.
