Dear CWES Families,
I am absolutely thrilled to share some incredibly exciting news with all of you: Canterbury Woods Elementary School has officially been awarded the prestigious US Green Flag certification by EcoSchools U.S.!
This Green Flag recognition is a global symbol of environmental excellence, and we are now part of a network of thousands of schools dedicated to making a positive impact. It was truly a pleasure to have our action plan reviewed, and the feedback from EcoSchools U.S. was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the incredible work happening at CWES.
Congratulations to our dedicated Eco-Ambassadors, as well as our Get2Green teacher leaders, Ms. Adams, Ms. Saludo, and Ms. Smith, who have led this work!
We are incredibly proud of all the work our students, staff, and families have accomplished this year. The Green Flag is a tremendous achievement, and we look forward to our continued participation and excellence in the next school year. Thank you for being part of our journey toward a greener future!
Lost and Found
Please take a moment to check for any belongings your child may have misplaced. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity on June 12th.
Have a wonderful weekend,

Limited Early Release Days Continue Next Year
During a report to the School Board this month, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid announced plans to continue limited early release days in elementary schools and shift them to Wednesdays for the 2025-26 school year. This plan is based on recommendations from the Early Release Steering Committee. The committee includes parents, caregivers, school-based staff, and central office personnel. Read more about the reasons for early release and the proposed early release dates.
🥗 Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!
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 2025-26 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 2024-25 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price meals.
Phase 2 Community Boundary Review Meetings
Families, staff, and community members can explore and visualize potential boundary scenarios using a customized Boundary Explorer Tool. The tool will be accessible from the FCPS website. You are also invited to participate in another series of community meetings in order to review and reflect on the initial draft scenarios before the start of summer break:
- Friday, May 23, 7-8:30 p.m., Lewis High School
- Wednesday, May 28, 7-8:30 p.m., Annandale High School
- Thursday, May 29, 6:30-8 p.m., Whitman Middle School
- Friday, May 30, 6:30-8 p.m., Chantilly High School
- Friday, June 6, 6:30–8 p.m., Glasgow Middle School
Each meeting will be hybrid, meaning that you may attend in person or via Zoom. Childcare for in-person participants and language interpretation/translation for all participants will be available as needed. Registration links will be shared soon. Another round of community meetings will be held in the fall.
Visit FCPS’ Comprehensive Boundary Review page for more information.
Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Throughout May and June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, there is a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results. Please contact us with any testing questions or for additional information about how we use test results to support student success.
