 Our fifth graders reviewing for the Math SOL with a fun twist - a Glow Day!
 Congratulations to Dr. Stephanie Thomas, who won the FCPS Cares award for Region 5. She is a true asset to our community! We celebrated her this morning with a breakfast.
Dear CWES Families,
Believe it or not, there are fewer than 20 days left in the school year! We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students have shown throughout the year, especially as we wrap up the testing season. SOL testing results will be available on SIS ParentVUE in June, and all information regarding the reports can be located on the website here. Numerous special events and activities are planned in the weeks ahead, and we are excited to celebrate a successful school year with you.
Today is the last day to submit parent input for the 2024-2025 school year, so please complete the form if you have not already done so. Additionally, feel free to reach out if you have any additional information to share.
Missing a jacket, lunchbox, or favorite toy?
Our Lost and Found is overflowing with unclaimed items. Please take a moment to check for any belongings your child may have misplaced.
All unclaimed items will be donated to charity on June 14th.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Leslie Malkowski, Kristi McGeehan, and Moonhee Doan
CWES Administrative Team
Each year, a team consisting of classroom teachers, special education teachers, administrators, specialists, and counselors come together to collaborate and provide feedback on the formation of class groupings. This is a comprehensive and cooperative process. We greatly appreciate your input regarding your child's learning needs. It's important to note that our staff is exceptional, and we kindly ask that you refrain from mentioning specific teacher names on this form.
Please rest assured that all forms will be carefully reviewed by our administration and teachers. While we strive to take all factors into account when determining class placements, we may not be able to fulfill every request. However, please know that all information provided will be taken into consideration as we make decisions about placement.
For your input to be considered, we kindly request that this form be completed and submitted by Friday, May 17, 2024.
Please note that staff grade level assignments may occasionally change as a result of late enrollments or other unforeseen circumstances. Staff assignments will be finalized in August.
It is with great excitement that we invite you to join us for Field Day on Friday, June 7th!
Grades 4-6 will be in the morning from 9:50-11:50.
Grades K-3 will be in the afternoon from 1:30-3:30.
Please mark your calendars and go to the sign-up genius link below to volunteer your help:

We will be having a lot of activity stations, so we will need many parent volunteers! Think warm and dry weather and get ready to join us for the fun!
On Field Day, please be sure your child:
- Brings a labeled water bottle.
- Applies sunscreen before coming to school.
- Wears comfortable clothes and shoes.
- Comes with a positive attitude.
Thanks!!!
