As we approach the upcoming Spring Break, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership in your child's education. Your involvement and dedication play a crucial role in our collective mission to nurture and empower our students.
I wanted to also extend my heartfelt gratitude to the 22 community members and 6 staff members who participated in our Family Engagement Walkthrough. I will share the outcomes of our time together in a future Memo.
Spring Break is a time for families to come together, recharge, and create lasting memories. Whether you are planning a getaway or enjoying some leisure time at home, we wish you a wonderful Spring Break.
Upon our return, we look forward to continuing our journey of academic excellence and personal growth together. We look forward to the remainder of the school year!
Thank you once again for your ongoing support and partnership. Wishing you and your family a rejuvenating and enjoyable Spring Break!
Do not forget on Tuesday, April 2 at 3:00 we will have our Kindergarten Orientation!

Parent Volunteers
WSES is fortunate to have individuals, groups, and organizations who contribute time and energy to students as volunteers. Because student safety is of utmost importance, we ask that our volunteers complete the following prior to volunteering:
Measles Is Preventable
Measles is making headlines as the number of cases nationwide has topped 40, with three confirmed cases in people living in or traveling through the National Capital Region.
The good news is that measles is preventable through vaccination! Vaccines help teach the immune system how to defend against germs, helping to build up natural defenses. Give your child the best protection against measles with two doses of the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Visit the Fairfax County Health Department website to find out more about measles.
Extended Hours at Immunization Clinics
To help parents/caregivers obtain vaccinations for their children, the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) will offer immunization clinics with extended hours:
Parents/caregivers should make an appointment but a limited number of walk-ins will be accepted. Please call 703-246-7100 to schedule an appointment.
Learn more about vaccinating your child and find community resources to support their health and well-being.
