🚨👮‍♂️ Today was a big day at PWES! 🚨👮‍♀️ We held our very first Safety Patrol Swearing-In Ceremony, where 12 dedicated fifth graders officially pledged to help keep their peers safe and set a great example by following the rules. A huge thank you to Judge Stephanie Adams from the Sussex County Justice of the Peace for swearing in our new officers. We are also grateful to our special visitors — Delaware State Police Corporal Huey, Detective Spudis, Corporal Jackson, and Bridgeville Police Lieutenant McQuown — for joining us in celebrating this important milestone. An extra special thank you goes to our constable, Mr. Taulbee, for bringing this idea to PWES and guiding our new Safety Patrol team. 👏 Congratulations to our very first Safety Patrol Officers: Jessa, Brooklyn, Kaiden, Jayden, Trinity, Daly, Amelia, Jeilin, Dustin, Kylie, William, and Noah!

Attention Phillis Wheatley Elementary Families,

Please take a moment to review the important information below regarding medications at school. Following these guidelines helps us ensure the health and safety of every student throughout the school day.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all students, we want to remind families of our school’s medication protocols. All medications—both prescription and over-the-counter—must be transported to the nurse by a responsible adult. Students are not permitted to carry medications in their bookbags, and all medications will be kept in the nurse’s office.

Any medication sent to school must be in its original container and not expired. Over-the-counter medications must remain in their original packaging, and prescription medications must include the pharmacy label with the child’s name, medication, and directions for administration. All refills must follow this same process.

In addition, families are required to complete the “Student Medication Permission to be Administered in School Consent Form” before any medication can be given at school. This form is mandated by the state, and failure to comply will result in your child not receiving the medication during the school day.

If you need to drop off medication, we recommend stopping by the office between 9:00–10:00 a.m. or 2:00–3:00 p.m. During these times, our school nurse, Mrs. Short, will meet families in the office to collect and process the medication.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students.
