Dear Woodside Families,
What a beautiful Halloween Parade we had yesterday! It was wonderful to see many of you and your children looked fabulous! I hope everyone is enjoying the first day of November and a day off of school today.
Our teachers spent the day working hard to learn new literacy curriculum materials and finalizing report cards. We have ended our first marking period, so please take this time and opportunity to reflect with your child on grades, effort, and attendance. Encouraging your child to set goals is a great way to build independence and empower him/her to take more responsibility.
This month we are looking forward to our American Education Week events, which will occur on November 19th and 22nd. This will be a special opportunity for you to visit your child and see instruction. Our flier with details will go out next week. I’m also excited to share that November 21st will be our Cultural Arts Showcase event from 5:30-7:00 pm. This is a MUST COME EVENT! Students are so proud of their work, please come to celebrate!
Finally, on November 25th and 26th, we will be inviting families to parent/teacher conferences. Communication and scheduling will be sent out from your child’s classroom teacher. Happy November and the beginning of the holiday season!
Sincerely,
Lorie Barnes
