It's Yearbook Ordering Time!
Yearbooks for Woodland Elementary School can now be ordered online! The cost for a yearbook is $14.00 and payments can be made exclusively online through your Infinite Campus parent portal under the fees tab > optional payments. The payment window will be open from January 31st through February 16th. All orders are due on February 16th. This is the first and only time that yearbooks are offered for sale during this school year. Please contact the office with any questions.
Please note: When ordering through Infinite Campus, you are now able to pay using the e-check method and avoid paying a surcharge. You will still be charged a surcharge if you choose to use a credit card. Please remember when you use an e-check it is similar to using a paper check and if this check would be rejected by your bank due to non-sufficient funds, you will be charged a $25 NSF fee.
Recess in Winter Weather
All students will go outside for recess if the “feels like” temperature is zero or above. Please make sure your child has the proper outdoor clothing, including a jacket, each day as temperatures can change quickly. Thank you!
Bus Drive Appreciation Week
School Bus Driver Appreciation week is February 12th-16th. Dedicated bus drivers provide an invaluable service in working tirelessly to make sure that students in the Kimberly Area School District get safely to and from school everyday.
Elementary will be celebrating our bus drivers on February 14th! Please consider including your child's bus driver when making Valentines this year! Woodland Valentine Bags for each bus driver will be available for students to place their valentines in. Join us by showing our appreciation to our wonderful BUS DRIVERS!
