Reminders & Notes of Interest

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented team of teachers here at Windsor Farm Elementary. Throughout the week, we look forward to celebrating and recognizing the amazing work they do each day to support, inspire, and care for our students.

Please check out the PTO section below to see how you can help make this week extra special for our teachers and resource staff. Your support means the world!

MCAP Testing

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have now finished the Reading portion of MCAP testing. They are doing a great job showing perseverance, focus, and a positive attitude throughout the process. We’re proud of their efforts and how seriously they’re taking this important opportunity to show what they’ve learned.

We now shift our focus to the Math section of MCAP. Below is the remaining testing schedule. Thank you for your continued support in ensuring your child gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast, and arrives on time each day.

Testing Schedule Chart

Families who wish to apply for their student to attend an AACPS prekindergarten program in the 2025-2026 school year may do so online beginning on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. To help ensure equitable access for all families, the registration link will be available at www.aacps.org/earlychildhood beginning at 5:00 pm.

Exciting News for Windsor Farm!
We’re thrilled to share that we’ll be adding a second Pre-K classroom for the 2025–2026 school year! This expansion means we will now have 40 available Pre-K seats, allowing even more young learners to get a strong start in their educational journey here at Windsor Farm Elementary.

Kids Singing

A Special Invitation from Mrs. Humphrey!

We’re excited to invite our former chorus students to return and join us for the finale of our spring concert—"Summertime, Please Come Soon!"—on Tuesday, May 20 at Windsor Farm Elementary. Call time is 6:00 PM, and the concert begins at 6:30 PM.

It would mean so much to sing alongside our former chorus members again—you’d not only help make the performance extra special, but also serve as an inspiration to our younger chorus students.

If you’d like to join us, please fill out the form linked below. The form includes the music and choreography so you can practice ahead of time: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnKBBZmhiY1mgRVzb8YgkBiDqkFOM1of2I1uq3nuIFBsEncA/viewform?usp=sharing

We can’t wait to see you and make music together again!

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration opened on April 8th for the upcoming school year! If you or someone you know has a child who will be starting kindergarten at Windsor Farm Elementary in the fall, we encourage you to register as soon as the window opens.

Early registration helps us plan and staff our kindergarten program effectively—and ensures you receive all important communications and updates.
