Dahlgren School
Grades
Pre-Kindergarten Children may be enrolled in both the Dahlgren School Pre-K Program, as well as the CDC for daycare purposes; however, parents of children who are enrolled in the CDC for part of the day, and the Dahlgren School program for the other portion of that day, are responsible for ensuring safe transportation for their child to and from the separate settings. Neither the CDC or Dahlgren School can provide escorts to and from individual programs. Parents with children in both programs are encouraged to set up, amongst themselves, a plan to ensure safe passage of their children to and from these programs so as to best take advantage of the offerings at the Dahlgren School.
Kindergarten
Registration Procedures New students will also need a copy of their birth certificate or Registration of Birth Abroad, social security card, immunization records and a current Virginia Physical Form that has been given within one (1) year of the first day of school of the school year for which they are enrolling. They will also need a copy of their sponsor's orders. The Virginia Sports Physical is required only if your child plans on participating in basketball. For additional information about the school, the website also provides a copy of the parent handbook and examples of work being accomplished in the classrooms at each grade level.
Housing Policy Regarding Enrollment Eligibility If a member of the AF and his family should move off base after the beginning of the school year, the member's children will be permitted to continue attending Dahlgren School for the remainder of that school year only. Children of Contractors working for the companies supplying personnel to the base or it's facilities, even those who are retired military members, are not eligible to attend Dahlgren School, even if the contracted parent is able to obtain housing on the base. Children of DoD Civilian Personnel who are able to avail themselves of on-base housing, are authorized to attend Dahlgren School. If housing is not immediately available, but is expected within 90 school days from the reporting date of the AF member, the member's children may be permitted to attend the school while residing in one of the areas adjacent to Dahlgren. Transportation in all instances is the responsibility of the AF member. Dahlgren School has no cafeteria and students are to either go home for lunch or, if both parents work, may participate in the ‘‘brown bag” lunch program held at the Chapel Annex. Providing lunch or transportation to appropriate alternative lunch locations is also the responsibility of the parent⁄guardian. Dahlgren School adheres to and follows the base policies regarding age appropriate supervision and cannot permit children under the base-set age limits contained therein to transport themselves to and from different areas of the base. The Installation Commanding Officer will evaluate housing applications to determine whether it is likely that housing will be available within 90 days. While not often the case, if it is decided that housing will not become available in that timeframe, the children will not be eligible to attend Dahlgren School prior to moving on base.
