Has your favorite jacket gone on an adventure? Is your lunchbox living a secret life without you? Well, it might just be waiting in our Lost & Found!
We've got a mountain of forgotten treasures, from cozy sweaters to lonely water bottles, all hoping to be reunited with their rightful owners. But time is ticking! We'll be donating all unclaimed items at the end of the school year.
So, before those missing items embark on a new journey, swing by the Lost & Found in the school lobby and claim what's yours!

Families, staff, and community members will soon be able to 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.
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.

Yes, the school year is almost over, however, for returning families it’s never too early to start thinking about the PTA’s biggest fundraiser...
The Howling Wolf Fun Run - Save the date - October 17, 2025
To honor the opening of our freshly completed sports field the entire school will participate at once! Woot! This means if you have kids in multiple grades at WFES you can watch them sweat it out for Wolfie all at the same time!
We'll be sending out student fundraising packets (with tips and tricks) at the beginning of October. YOUR KIDS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. Heads up to families and businesses of all sizes in our community - calls for sponsorship will go out in early September, 2025.
 2024 Howling Fun Run was a HUGE success. Let's do it again in the fall!
