WAKEFIELD FOREST ES Weekly Message

MysteryReader

The Mystery Reader tradition continues in first grade!

 

Student Materials Pick Up

Staff have been working hard to pack up classrooms and to bag student items. We will do our very best to return all items that we are able to identify.  We will be distributing student materials on Monday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 2.  Please sign up to collect your student materials using this link. When you come to collect student materials, please plan to bring library books, cleaned patrol belts (see below), band/strings instruments borrowed from FCPS if in 6th grade and any other school materials.

 

Medication Pick Up

If you have student medication in the WFES Health Room that needs to be retrieved, please contact our assistant principal, Ms. Williams, at alwilliams1@fcps.edu and the pick up will be coordinated with the retrieval of your student’s belongings.  Following Fairfax County Health Department regulations, we will dispose of all medication not picked up from WFES by June 12.

 

Patrol Belt/Badge Return

Before returning patrol equipment, please remove the badge from the patrol belt, hand wash the patrol belt with mild detergent, and air dry.  Please do not reattach badge, as badges and belts will be placed in separate boxes.

 

Mental Health Support

The Wakefield Forest mental health team will present strategies for wellness during COVID-19 on May 28, 2020 at 3:00 PM. Please join at https://us.bbcollab.com/guest/97ba7d1107904d4fa3d4b1f61edc0240 through Chrome.

We understand that this is a stressful time for students and families. If your child needs a check in from a member of our mental health team, please complete this survey and one of our staff will reach out. 

If you are seeking supports for working with your child during this time, there are some at this link towards the end of the webpage: https://www.fcps.edu/academics/distance-learning/instruction/learning-at-home

 

Kindergarten Registration

If you have a student to register for kindergarten next year, please scan a copy of all required documents to our School Registrar, Ms. Holmes, at  KSHolmes@fcps.edu. Original documents will need to be shown prior to the start of the school year, but we can begin processing this information from scanned documents. Early registration for next year is important as it supports the number of teachers for which we are staffed. Information on required registration documents can be found here: https://www.fcps.edu/registration.

 

Not returning to WFES for SY 20-21?

For membership and staffing purposes, we would like to hear from families who are not returning to Wakefield Forest in August for the 20-21 school year.  If you are returning, please do not worry about turning in the form.  If your children (K-5) will not be attending WFES in the fall, please email Ms. Holmes directly at KSHolmes@fcps.edu and let her know.
