First and foremost, I want to thank the students, staff members, and parents for such an amazing first week of school. This is going to be an excellent year for all students. I'm so excited to see the growth of our community.

I want to make sure that every child that enters Mayfield Intermediate School is provided the opportunity to succeed every day. This will require strong communication between the school and families. My goal is to keep the lines of communication open. This weekly newsletter is one avenue of communication. I will also be active on Twitter this year as I highlight all the wonderful things occurring within our community. You can also reach me via email at dfrischkorn@mcpsva.org or by calling Mayfield Intermediate School at (571) 377-6600.
