Dear Woodbrook Families,

February is an exciting month at Woodbrook as we celebrate Black History Month. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the contributions of African Americans in our nation's history throughout the month.

Thank you to all the parents and community members who were able to celebrate the fourth grade students’ biography projects. It was great to see so many folks in the building learning from our fourth graders. Thank you to the fourth grade teachers and students for hosting the Biography Day!

Next week is School Counselor Appreciation Week! We have two incredible counselors in Cheryl Drew and Sharon Buscher who we appreciate so much for all of their social-emotional wisdom and care.

Dear Woodbrook Families,

First, we understand that on Wednesday many families did not receive notification about the two hour delay due to inclement weather. The Albemarle County Public School division will continue to send these notices, but we learned that there was a technical issue that resulted in delays. Going forward, Woodbrook will also send out a Remind message once we hear of any weather related delays or closures. If you are not currently on Remind, please reach out to your child’s teacher to sign up.

Second, we are excited to announce the second musical performance of the year. On February 10th, we will have the 2nd/3rd grade concert - "Our Musical Debut" at 1:15 pm and 6:30 pm - in the WES gym. During the day, students will perform for Woodbrook students and staff. Family and community members are invited for the evening performance.

Important Dates and Reminders

Feb. 20th, Professional learning, no school for students
