Free and Reduced-Price Meal applications are now available on the FCPS website. Interested families are encouraged to submit the application at least ten days before the first day of school. A new application must be submitted every school year.
In addition to qualifying for free or reduced-price school meals, approved students may qualify for benefits such as waived or reduced fees for instruments, uniforms, field trips, FCPS class fees, and Parktakes classes. Schools also benefit from funding opportunities based on Free and Reduced-Price Meal application numbers.

HWES PTA News & Events
The HWES PTA is busy getting ready for a great school year!
School Beautification Day will be held on Monday, August 15. Visit the Sign Up Genius here for this event. We invite anyone who is available that day to come out and help us make the school look its best. Currently, we are getting all new sidewalks and a newly paved parking lot. On August 15, we will power wash, weed, mulch and plant new flowers. If you can come anytime between 2pm-7pm and help, it would be very much appreciated. Bring along any garden tools you have (shovels, gloves, wheelbarrows, power washer, etc.). See flyer below.
To welcome staff members new to HWES, we'll be hosting a breakfast on Thursday, August 11, and to welcome the entire HWES staff back, we'll be hosting a second breakfast on Monday, August 15. Visit these links below to volunteer:
