Please complete and return any forms that were sent home on Open House night. We are still missing a few Parent Permission Forms, which allows us to take your child on Field Trips. There are also Student Health History Forms (click here) Youth Football & Volleyball League Forms and PTO Room Parent Forms to be completed.

Please have your child turn in any completed paperwork/money to the office - thank you!

PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS: The office is still missing some immunization records, kindergarten physicals, and birth certificate verifications. As you have these items completed, please stop by with the forms or have them faxed to the office (308-583-2668)

As we begin the school year, just a reminder to keep an eye on your student's lunch account balances. Cash or check payment can be brought to the office, or you can pay online via your PowerSchool account. If you have questions about your child's PowerSchool account, please contact the office. If you're seeking assistance with lunch payments/prices, we highly encourage everyone to fill out a Free & Reduced Lunch application...even if you don't think you'll qualify!

Is your 5th grader interested in joining band this year? On Thursday, Sept 5th, Ron's Music will be on hand to visit with 5th grade students (and their parents!) about instruments & rental for the 24-25 school year. Stop by any time between 6:30-7:30pm at the Elementary School!

We are definitely enjoying the new playground area - and we hope you are too! With that being said, many students and families stop by when school is not in session. Please observe these general guidelines when you visit, so that children can enjoy our facilities for years to come ~ thank you!

* Please pick up trash and do your part to keep the space clean. There has been a new trash can installed on the play surface for everyone to use.

* Dogs and other pets are not allowed on any portion of the playground or turf area; this is to protect our children's safety and those with allergies.

* Please close all gates to keep stray animals out.

Get the Wood River School logo painted in your driveway! For $30, you can show your school pride and support the music programs at the same time! Logo size is 24"x 36" ~ click the image to the right to be directed to the sign up form.

If you digitally submit the form, we will collect the $30 payment on the day we come to paint your logo. No logo will be painted until we have received payment.
