Principal's message
One Team WES Families,
We have some big celebrations this week:
1. MCAP testing is completed for grades 3-5. Students demonstrated perseverance and resilience through long sessions. We are proud of their effort!
2. 4 of our 5th grade students participated in the FCPS Honors Chorus this week. Thank you to Ms. Knox for preparing them over the past few weeks. It was an outstanding performance.
2. We had a representative from the Maryland State Department of Education visit primary classrooms this week. They are visiting classrooms across the state to take a closer look at literacy instruction. Our visitor noted the excellent instruction being delivered and most importantly, recognized the positive and support school culture. Our staff works hard each day to meet the needs of our students and this was well-deserved recognition of everyone's time, dedication and commitment to our students!
Next week kicks off both Career Week and Staff Appreciation Week. Details below.
We need 12 more volunteers for Field Day. Thank you to everyone that has already signed-up. We look forward to seeing everyone at the PTA Spring Fling on Friday!
With gratitude -
Ms. McKeever
Career Week May 6-10
Students in grades 3-5
Our students worked incredibly hard during MCAP and have earned an ice cream sundae celebration. They worked each day for one component of the sundae by doing their best on the test! We will be serving vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles and whipped cream. The school will be providing all the supplies for the celebration (please do not send anything in from home). If you would prefer your child not participate, please let your classroom teacher know. The same with any dietary restrictions. We will ensure the food is peanut, gluten and nut free. Please let us know if your child needs an additional food accommodation (allergy related only) and we will make it happen!
