Medication Pick Up & No Cost School Physicals for PWCS Students
If your student has medication in the school clinic, all medication must be picked up by an adult from the school clinic by 12:00pm on Friday, June 12th. Medications cannot be sent home with students and are not held in the clinic over the summer. Any medications that are not picked up by the designated time, will be discarded per regulation 757-4.
A reminder to parents of rising Kindergarten students: all Kindergarteners are required to have a school physical dated on or after August 24, 2025, as well as all required immunizations, to avoid any delay at the start of the school year.
Please see the information below and the attached flyers for information on Free/No Cost school physical for students in Prince William County Public Schools.
Prince William County Public Schools is partnering with Sentara Community Care to offer no cost school physicals through a mobile clinic at select elementary schools.
Who Is Eligible? PWCS Preschool through 5th grade students, including students who are insured, uninsured, or have Medicaid.
Appointments Are Required: Appointments are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.
To schedule an appointment, call the Sentara Community Care Clinic at 703β523β1095. Ask for Patricia Flores and state the clinic date and location.

MATH MINUTE
π Summer of Numbers with Bedtime Math β΅
Families know to keep kids reading over the summer, but keeping math skills sharp is important, too. Avoid the βsummer slideβ and add some playful, mischief-making math to your summer routine!
Hereβs how:
βοΈπ± iPads & Summer Device Info π±βοΈ
As we head toward the end of the school year, please review the important information below regarding student iPads:
iPads & Stickers
Please remove all stickers from student iPads, except for:
- Stickers with the studentβs name
- The yellow barcoded asset tag
Lost iPads
If a student has misplaced their iPad, they have until the last day of school to locate it. After that date, families will receive a bill for the replacement cost of the device.
Summer Programs at Neabsco
Students participating in summer programs at Neabsco will turn in their devices as usual at the end of the school year. iPads will be reissued to students during their summer program.
Any exceptions (such as students attending programs at another school) will be communicated as needed.
Devices Over the Summer
If a student needs an iPad to use over the summer, families may request that the device go home.
Please note:
Families are responsible for providing their own charger (no school chargers will be sent home)
- The iPad must be returned at the start of the next school year for inspection and reconditioning
Thank you for your support in helping us care for our school devices!

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST NEWSLETTER
Summer Fun & Growing Skills!
As another wonderful school year comes to a close, I would like to thank our students, families, and staff for a fantastic year of learning and growth! Summer is a great time to relax, have fun, and continue building important skills through everyday activities.
This month's newsletter will give ideas for summer activities that naturally support the skills children use at school, including fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, sensory regulation, self-care, attention, and independence. Best of all, these activities can be incorporated into everyday routines and family fun throughout the summer.
Wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable, and skill-building summer break!
PRESCHOOL PEER MODELING PROGRAM
Currently seeking peer models for Early Childhood
Neabsco Elementary School is currently looking for peer models for their Early Childhood
Special Education (ECSE) General 8x8 Preschool Class(es) for SY 2026-2027. Our ECSE General 8x8 preschool classrooms consist of 8 students that have IEPs for a variety of developmental delays and 8 typically developing children from the community to act as peer models. All students are ages 4-5 years old. Peer models must be 4 years old by September 30th of the attending school year. They should also have developmentally appropriate language, social skills, behavior, impulse control and they must be toilet trained. Potential peer models will participate in play groups and be selected before the first day of school. There is no cost for registration or enrollment in the peer model program. It is a half day program.
