Digital Resources: Parent Consent Needed! |
|
 |
At HWES, we use a variety of digital tools to support meaningful student learning. Some of these tools require parental consent before they can be used. You can find our school’s list of resources that require parental consent here: https://hunterswoodses.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources. After reviewing the list of digital tools, please complete this form to indicate whether or not your student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. 80% of HWES parents have already submitted this form. Our goal is 100%! Please complete the form TODAY if you haven’t already!
Reach out to your child's teacher, or our School-Based Technology Specialist, Laura King, if you have questions about this process. THANK YOU!
Join Us for Walking Wednesdays!
Our First Walking Wednesday is September 28
In addition to our weekly Workout Wednesdays, we are excited to announce Walking Wednesdays (the 4th Wednesday of each month).

ESSER III Public Input
ESSER III Funding Supports Student Success: Your Voice Matters
In the fall of 2021, FCPS received $188.8 million in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) funding to support the safe operation of schools and address the impacts of COVID-19 on students.
ESSER III focus areas have included resources for prevention and mitigation of COVID, academic services, multilingual engagement, support for students’ social emotional needs, and professional development.
Your Voice Matters!
A feedback form will be live on the ESSER III webpage Friday, September 23. Your input will inform the School Board and FCPS staff on the community’s view of our work. Watch this video to see the impact ESSER III funds are having in our schools. Learn more on FCPS’ website.
