Dulles South Area Elementary School Attendance Zone Process

On June 27, 2023, the Loudoun County School Board adopted a fall meeting calendar to review Dulles South area elementary school attendance zones in establishing an attendance boundary for Henrietta Lacks Elementary School (ES-32); the elementary school is scheduled to open in fall 2024 (2024-2025 academic year). 

Since the school’s inception, being adjacent to Hovatter Elementary School, the intent has been that Henrietta Lacks Elementary School will serve students in kindergarten through grade two and Hovatter Elementary School will serve students in grades three through five.  While there will be separate school staff for the two buildings, students advancing from grade two to grade three will transition from Henrietta Lacks Elementary School to Hovatter Elementary School.  It is anticipated that in establishing an attendance zone for Henrietta Lacks Elementary School, changes may be made to the Hovatter Elementary School attendance zone.

Following School Board Policy and Regulation 6530, Changing School Attendance Zones, a series of meetings will begin in October 2023, and continue through December 2023. The schedule includes public hearings and work sessions, culminating on December 12, 2023, with School Board action on any elementary school attendance zone changes.

The current attendance zones for Aldie, Arcola, Buffalo Trail, Cardinal Ridge, Elaine E. Thompson, Goshen Post, Hovatter, Hutchison Farm, Liberty, Little River and Pinebrook Elementary Schools will be reviewed.  The inclusion of a specific school in an attendance zone change process does not indicate that the school currently serving a given community will change but that attendance zone adjustments may be reviewed, proposed and/or adopted for the school by the School Board.

Henrietta Lacks Elementary School, located at 41125 Collaboration Drive in Aldie, is under construction and adjacent to Hovatter Elementary School.
