In this episode, we unpack The Feather Report (Volume 2, Issue 35) as Westlawn enters the home stretch of the school year! The administration celebrates the completion of the main round of SOL math testing for students in grades 3 through 6, and notes that the school is now moving into the remediation and retake window for eligible students. We also cover some important calendar updates, including the wrap-up of the final early-release Wednesday of the year and a reminder that there is no school from May 25 to 27 for the extended Memorial Day weekend.

Looking ahead at the schedule, we preview exciting mid-May events like Techstravaganza at Thomas Jefferson High School on May 16, a Restaurant Night at Panda Express on May 19, and a reminder that May 28 is the last day for library checkouts. We also highlight some important division-wide updates, such as FCPS's new cell phone policy and the newly updated process for assigning substitute teachers by high school pyramid.

Finally, our "Tech Talk" segment continues its focus on Mental Health Awareness Month by discussing how to purposefully use technology for creativity, mindfulness, and connection rather than just passive entertainment. We wrap up with a special double-feature Staff Spotlight, getting to know reading coach Casey Davidow and assistant principal Erin Theiss.
