 Memorial Day Holiday
All schools and offices will be closed on Monday, May 27, for the Memorial Day holiday. Learn about the history of Memorial Day. See the complete school year calendar.
Dear CWES Families,
As Memorial Day Weekend approaches and we enjoy time with family, let us also take a moment to remember and express our gratitude to all the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. We extend a special thanks to our CWES military families.
The school health room would like to remind parents and guardians that all medications stored in the health room must be picked up no later than 2:05 on the last day of school. Any medication left in the health room after this time will be destroyed. It is the school policy that medications must be retrieved by the parent or guardian and cannot be sent home with the student. If you have any questions, please contact Veronica Yañez, our school health room aide, or Tiffany Meakins, our public health nurse, at 703-764-5610.
Lost and Found
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.
Yearbooks
There are a few additional copies of the yearbook available. These will be placed for sale in the CWES Main Office on May 29th at 9:10 am. They will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and once they are sold out, sales will be closed. Students/Parents may come in and purchase a book with $17 in cash (exact change) or a check made out to Canterbury Woods Elementary for $17.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Leslie Malkowski, Kristi McGeehan, and Moonhee Doan

Family Life Education Materials Available for Review
The recommended Family Life Education instructional materials are available for community review through Monday, June 10, at 4:30 p.m. View details and a feedback form.
Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.
📈 New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 Tests
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.
In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring.
The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year.
Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.
There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment. Please contact Amy Decatur, our Student Information Assistant, by email at aldecatur@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-764-5600 to set up an appointment
We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.
 ☀️ Enjoy Fun and Resources at the Summer Extravaganza
Stop by Woodson High School on Saturday, June 1, 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., for the FCPS Summer Extravaganza. Enjoy face painting, food, music, a moonbounce, alpaca petting, storytime, and student performances — all at no cost! Additional food trucks will be on site selling a variety of treats.
Families are invited to take part in engaging educational activities designed to spark curiosity and growth. Community organizations will be providing tips, resources, and helpful information. Visit the Summer Extravaganza webpage for details and register to attend. Registration is not required, but it’s helpful for planning purposes.
It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on families’ plates. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to remember to check your students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Families that earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2024-25 school year will be available this summer.
If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2022-23 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price lunch.
