Are your kids seeking a fun game that promotes cognitive development, cultural awareness, social skills, and emotional growth? CWES is launching a Go Club for 5th and 6th graders, starting January 16, 2025. The club will meet every Thursday after school for an hour. No experience with Go? Don't worry! Two CWES faculty members and a Go instructor will be there to teach your child. We’re also looking for parent volunteers to help with the club—no prior knowledge of Go required, as you'll learn alongside the students. If you're interested in signing up your child, please complete the Google form. Space is limited! Please contact Joyce Colobong@ seccwepta@gmail.com with questions.
⏰ Update on Potential Changes to Middle School Start Times
At Tuesday’s School Board work session, staff from Prismatic Services, Inc., presented options for adjusting start times at FCPS middle schools. As a reminder, Prismatic is charged with developing an action plan to help the School Board reach its goal of starting middle school at or after 8 a.m.
The presentation includes five options for adjusting middle school start times based on the consultant’s analysis from community forums, surveys, and interviews with staff, parents, associations, and other groups. The School Board will provide next steps to the superintendent.
Watch a video of the work session. Visit the Middle School Start Times webpage for more information on the project.
