Dear CWES Families,
It's a busy time at CWES as SOL testing has begun and will continue for the next few weeks. We're so proud of our students' hard work! The remaining testing dates are listed below.
While Teacher Appreciation Week is over, our deep gratitude for our teachers continues. This week highlighted their incredible impact on our students – they inspire, challenge, and nurture them daily. Their dedication is essential to our students' growth and success. We're thankful for all our amazing CWES staff who create such a special environment. A big thank you to our PTA and families who helped us celebrate our teachers! Your support was truly appreciated.
Reminder: Monday, May 12th will be our last early release Monday of the school year. Students will be dismissed at 1:05 PM, following the same dismissal procedure as April. If you need to change your student's dismissal plans, please call the office at (703) 764-5600. The online transportation change form will be unavailable.
Wishing a very Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers in our CWES community!

Please contact Mona Mouneimne (mmmouneimne@fcps.edu) if you have any questions.
 The 2025 Spring SOL testing schedule runs throughout the month of May. Please make every effort to avoid scheduling appointments or absences on the days your child is testing.
Each year, a team consisting of classroom teachers, special education teachers, administrators, specialists, and counselors come together to collaborate and provide feedback on the formation of class groupings. This is a comprehensive and cooperative process. We greatly appreciate your input regarding your child's learning needs. It's important to note that our staff is exceptional, and we kindly ask that you refrain from mentioning specific teacher names on this form.
Please rest assured that all forms will be carefully reviewed by our administration and teachers. While we strive to take all factors into account when determining class placements, we may not be able to fulfill every request. However, please know that all information provided will be taken into consideration as we make decisions about placement.
For your input to be considered, we kindly request that this form be completed and submitted by Friday, May 16, 2025.
Please note that staff grade level assignments may occasionally change as a result of late enrollments or other unforeseen circumstances. Staff assignments will be finalized in August.
 The first graders had a wonderful time on their field trip to Ellanor C. Lawrence Park this week!
It is with great excitement that we invite you to join us for Field Day on Friday, June 6th!
-
Grades 4-6 will be in the morning from 9:50-11:50.
-
Kindergarten-3rd will be in the afternoon from 1:30-3:30.

We will be having a lot of activity stations, so we will need many parent volunteers! Think warm and dry weather and get ready to join us for the fun!
On Field Day, please be sure your child:
- Brings a labeled water bottle.
- Applies sunscreen before coming to school.
- Wears comfortable clothes and shoes.
- Comes with a positive attitude.
Thanks!!!
