Dear Thoreau Families,

The Town of Vienna Parks and Recreation needs our help keeping community spaces safe and clean! Please note that e-bikes and e-scooters are strictly prohibited on all athletic fields, including Waters Field. Additionally, effective immediately, Waters Field is NOT permitted as an after-school hangout spot for students. 

Recent misuse has led to safety hazards, litter, and turf damage, prompting local officials and police to increase preventive measures and lock field gates. We have announced this news to our students this week, but we also need parents to discuss these new rules with their children to help preserve these spaces for scheduled athletic use. This is also a good time to remind your child about appropriate behavior should they visit local Vienna or Fairfax businesses after-school. Thank you for your support in keeping our community and grounds safe! 

Please remember that Monday September 21, is a holiday and schools and offices will be closed. See the complete school year calendar.

Sincerely,

Teresa Khuluki

Principal
