 This week CWES has been celebrating National Random Acts of Kindness Week, which runs from February 15 to February 21. Students and staff have shown kindness in a wide variety of ways, including writing kind notes to hide in library books and doing kind acts from Cody’s Kindness BINGO board with their class. Celebrating and promoting kindness directly relates to our PAWS expectations (Persevere, Accept Responsibility, Work Together, and Show Respect).
Nurturing kindness at home helps your child and all our students succeed in school! Ideas to encourage kindness at home:
- Make it a habit to ask your child, “what is something kind you did today?” and “what is something kind that you saw someone do today?”
- Talk with your child about the difference between kind/respectful acts that are expected and random acts of kindness. How are each important?
- For more information on Random Acts of Kindness Week or ideas on how to spread kindness, visit the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.
Dear Canterbury Woods Families,
We hope to see many of you tonight for Bingo Night! Doors open at 5:45 PM, and the first game begins at 6:15 PM.
One of the most exciting parts of the evening is that all games will be called by some of our favorite CWES celebrities! It’s sure to be a fun-filled night with fantastic prizes and plenty of chances to win.Our SCA will also be selling a variety of delicious snacks (cash only). We look forward to seeing you there!

New Visitor Management System
We are excited to announce that our school is now using the new Raptor Visitor Management System (VMS). This upgrade is part of our school’s and FCPS’ ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety and streamlining the process for visitors at our school. The VMS ensures that no visitor is on the sex offender registry.
For most visitors, the user experience will be the same when you check-in at the front office.
But now there is also an app, which can make check-in’s even faster at school. Visitors who choose to download the RaptorSafe App and create a Raptor Passport can pre-verify their information before they get to school. The app will give you a QR code you can use when you check-in at school.
If you have questions or need assistance with the new system, please contact our front office. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our schools safe!
