Dear CWES Families,
We have had a busy week at CWES, and look forward to seeing many of you tonight at our Monster Mash! It is hard to believe we are headed into the last week of quarter. First quarter Parent/Guardian–Teacher conferences are beginning! Conferences are an outstanding way to learn more about your child’s progress and daily activities at school. If you haven’t had a chance to schedule a conference, please email your child’s teacher.
Celebrating our nation's veterans is a time-honored tradition at CWES and we are beginning to plan this year’s events. Each year we invite service members to speak to our students about their experiences, and this year we will carry on the tradition. If you have a veteran or active-duty service member in your family, we would love for them to join us ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14th. Please complete this form to indicate interest in sharing military experiences with our students.
We will also be continuing our Heroes in the Hallway. If someone in your family has served or is currently serving in the military, we want to celebrate them this Veterans Day! Please fill out this form and attach a picture of the person. We will display them in the hall during the week of Veterans Day (November 7-11th). Please return to the main office by Friday, November 4.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Leslie Malkowski, Mindy Milliron, and Scott Reeder
CWES Administrative Team

Beginning on October 18, FCPS will be asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid. Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by November 4. All results are confidential.

Opportunity for Students to Help Inform FCPS’ Future
You may have heard FCPS is developing a Strategic Plan that will serve as the school division’s roadmap for the future. We encourage every parent/caregiver, student, employee, and community member to participate in this important work.
The first engagement opportunity will be an optional survey, which will be open to students in grades 3-12. Knowing what is important to students will be very helpful to Dr. Reid, as she leads the planning of FCPS’ future. All schools, including ours, will schedule a date and time during the school day to administer the survey between November 2-18. If you would prefer that your child not participate, you may opt your child out of taking the survey. Please visit FCPS’ website for more information.
Families who want to refer for level IV, full day advanced academic program ar invited to attend an information session on Tuesday, November 2nd at 5:30 in the cafeteria.
The information below offers details about how students are screened for full-time (Level IV) Advanced Academic Programs' services. There are two screening pathways:
-
Grade 2 Universal Screener Referrals - Students in grade 2 may be identified for screening based on their performance on a universal screening assessment (e.g., CogAT, NNAT); or
-
Staff and Family Referrals - Students may be identified for screening based on a direct referral (a request) from their teachers, parent/guardian, or other person who knows and works with the student. This option is accessed by many FCPS parents who seek this level of service for their students. Approximately 70% of the students screened for full-time placement come through this pathway.
All referrals must be submitted no later than 4:00 pm December 15th.
For more information, please visit the AAP website for more information.
FCPS students continue to have unlimited access to live, 24/7, 1-to-1, online tutoring services through Tutor.com at no cost to families during the 22-23 SY. Student participation is optional and parents/guardians can opt their student(s) out of accessing the services. Detailed information and FAQs are available on the Tutor.com Online Tutoring Services website.
Students can access Tutor.com via a link in Schoology. Additional information about how to log in and access a tutor is provided to families via the following: Elementary - How It Works and Middle & High - How It Works. Questions not answered in the posted resources may be sent to onlinetutoring@fcps.edu.
