NATIONAL CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY
Mayoly Amah, Alberto Menjivar Lopez, Elvis Basoah, Juventina Reyes De Romero and Selina Agyei Yeboah work tirelessly to keep the building clean and safe for our entire WHES family! They are essential members of our team, and we believe that deserve more than a day of recognition. We will be celebrating them all week so feel free to send an email, card, or a treat to let them know how thankful we are for their care and dedication. Let’s make sure they know how much we appreciate them!

Good attendance is an important life skill that will help students succeed in school and beyond.
When scheduling trips or family events, try to use weekends and school holidays, and refer to the FCPS Calendar when planning. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered chronically absent.
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or another reason, you must report the absence to the office or classroom teacher. If you are unsure how to report an absence, please the front office 703-799-2000.

- 🗓️ Consejo de asistencia: programación de viajes o eventos familiares
La buena asistencia es una habilidad importante para la vida que ayudará a los estudiantes a tener éxito en la escuela y más allá.
Cuando planifique viajes o eventos familiares, trate de utilizar los fines de semana y días festivos. Use el calendario de FCPS como un recurso. Cada día de aprendizaje es un día hacia el éxito. Tenga en mente que las ausencias se suman rápidamente. Los estudiantes que están ausentes el 10% del año escolar (o solo dos días por mes) son considerados ausentes crónicos.
Cuando sea posible, programe citas para su hijo fuera del horario escolar. Si su hijo tiene que faltar a clase por enfermedad u otro motivo, tiene que informar a la escuela de la ausencia. Si no está seguro de cómo comunicar una ausencia, llame a la oficina de la escuela al 703-799-2000
Vea este vídeo con consejos para entender nuestro calendario escolar y visite nuestra página web sobre asistencia para obtener más información. ¡Asiste a clases hoy; para tener éxito mañana!
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a comprehensive Family Life Education (FLE) program.
FLE instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through grade 12. FLE includes topics in human growth and development and social and emotional health. FLE instruction helps students gain knowledge and skills needed to make healthy, responsible, and life-enhancing decisions related to relationships and their physical, emotional, and social health. Parents and guardians are partners in their child’s learning.
FLE instruction supports the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community. Parents and guardians can review FLE materials. Parents/guardians can access FLE lessons in Schoology using their SIS username and password. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media titles online. Lessons and media are available for review at school by contacting your child’s teacher. Lessons only are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media).
FLE program descriptions and opt-out forms are available on the FCPS website.
Pronto Estará Disponible el Cuestionario Sobre el Aprendizaje Social y Emocional
Una de las maneras en que FCPS apoya el bienestar mental de todos los estudiantes es el SEL Screener.
El cuestionario se ofrece a todos los estudiantes en los grados 3º a 12º en Octubre y de nuevo en Febrero o Marzo. Aborda habilidades como alcanzar metas, entender y manejar emociones, establecer y mantener relaciones con adultos y compañeros, y tomar decisiones responsables.
El SEL Screener también ayuda a los estudiantes a evaluar los esfuerzos de su comunidad escolar para que se sientan valorados, incluidos y apoyados. Los datos del cuestionario se utilizan para crear el aprendizaje, las experiencias y los entornos que los alumnos necesitan para tener éxito. Las principales actualizaciones del cuestionario de este año incluyen:
- Diferentes versiones para los estudiantes de 3º a 5º y de 6º a 12º curso.
- Menos temas con más preguntas para proporcionar a las escuelas y familias más datos para apoyar la planificación.
- Preguntas adicionales alineadas con el compromiso de FCPS con la equidad educativa.
Los resultados del SEL Screener se envían a las familias por correo postal. Las familias que deseen excluir a su hijo deben completar el formulario de exclusión voluntaria en el Paquete de aviso anual o en SIS ParentVUE.
Para obtener más información, visite la página web del Cuestionario sobre el Aprendizaje Socioemocional (SEL) o póngase en contacto con la escuela de su hijo.
Tenga en cuenta que el SEL Screener difiere de la encuesta anónima " Fairfax County Youth Survey" (Encuesta Juvenil del Condado de Fairfax).
