1/17 - PTA Bingo Night is Coming!

bingo2

Bingo Night will be Wednesday, January 17th at 6:30 pm in the school gymnasium (doors open at 6:00).  It will be a fun night of bingo games, prizes, and raffles. This is not a drop-off. Students must attend with an adult.

You can now pre-order your bingo items and pizza! Your pre-order will help the organizers know how many people to expect, and it will streamline your check-in at Bingo Night. It will also be important to pre-order since we may need to cap attendance this year. Make sure you reserve your spot! 

Bingo Night Pre-Orders on MemberHub

Pre-orders will need to be completed on MemberHub by January 16th. 

This event is sponsored by the WFES PTA. If you have questions, reach out to Katie Roessler (organizing guru) and Jamie Petrik (amusement expert): kathryn.ann.roessler@gmail.com and jamie@teamdda.com.


1/22 - WFES Green Team Meeting

Our next Green Team meeting will be Monday, January 22nd at 3:30 pm in room 505.  If you have any questions, please reach out to Mary Muratore  mpmuratore@fcps.edu.

Snow Day Information

School buses in snow.

For the current school year, FCPS will be returning to its previous procedure for snow days — there will be no virtual learning days when school is closed due to bad weather. 

During snow days, students may still access Tutor.com, complete any supplemental learning opportunities recommended by their teachers, and view educational programming (available virtually and on public access television channels):

Eleven snow days are built into the existing FCPS calendar. Eliminating virtual learning days will allow us to maximize students’ in-person learning and provide equitable access to instruction and student services.
