MWES News- April Edition
Encouraging Excellence in our Panther Cub Community
Greetings from Ms. Colon
Welcome Back from Spring Break! I hope you had a restful break with family and friends. The cherry blossoms are blooming and the flowers look beautiful. The same goes for Panther Cubs. They are blossoming as readers and continue to make great gains academically and socially.
I cannot believe that in a couple of weeks our students will start SOL and PALS testing. While I am confident they will be successful, it important that they are reminded to do their best and be present in school. Contact your teacher prior to scheduling any appointments.
We have so many things in store for the next couple of months! We are excited of celebrating your student's growth. Thanks for partnering with us to make our school a magical place for students.
Proud to be your leader,
Mrs. Colon

Student illness
To prevent the spread of disease and to protect your student, please keep your student home and/or make an appointment with your health care provider for the following symptoms:
- temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- severe sore throat, headache, or cough
- eyes with inflammation, redness, and watery or purulent drainage
- undiagnosed and/or untreated skin rash
- communicable disease
If a student becomes ill during school, the parent/guardian of the student must be contacted before a student is allowed to leave the building. It is important to provide your student's school with updated contact numbers so parents/guardians may be reached concerning illness, as well as emergencies.
STUDENT ABSENCES-CHANGES AHEAD
EARLY CHECKOUT....
Students will not be called out of class until a parent is present to sign them out. Please plan ahead for appointments, as we would like to minimize missed class time.
The law requires meetings for those with chronic absences. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/prevention/attendance-truancy/index.shtml
