 Thank you to everyone who attended and made this year's Cougar Crawl such a fantastic success! We couldn't have asked for a better night!
Dear CWES Families,
We had a wonderful week! Thank you to everyone who helped make our first early release on Monday a success. Your early planning ensured we could provide the necessary support for students.
As a reminder, please keep the October 21st early release in mind. If your plans change, please reach out as soon as possible so we can adjust our arrangements. We'll send out more details confirming dismissal closer to the date.
We are thrilled to announce Deaf Awareness Week at CWES (September 23-27)! As the elementary site-based program for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, we strive to foster a community where our students recognize the value of diversity and understand that each individual brings unique strengths and perspectives. Ask your child to share with you something new they learned about their peers next week.

CWES Administrative Team
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

✨ The 2023-30 Strategic Plan
Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence
FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan sets five main goals to create positive change in the division. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.
Our third goal is for all students to achieve academic growth and excellence. We want our students to have the academic skills to be successful. For example, making sure they are readers by third grade and taking courses that challenge them throughout their education will help prepare them for lifelong success. See how Goal 3 is being put into practice.
