We are excited to welcome Ms. Then and her new class to the north pod. You may have noticed the added first grade flag at the entrance to the north playground. With more space and more time for each student, the first grade team hasn’t skipped a beat in instruction and are thankful for the opportunity for the smaller class size.
This week’s Early Release will have more students staying after school lets out at 11:50. Campfire continues to provide extended care and SUN School has opened spaces, too. The Woodlawn staff will be continuing their professional development together covering: curriculum unpacking and planning, learning about and honing skills in de-escalation strategies, and practicing activities from the new SEL curriculum, Wayfinder.
We have many students biking to school, which is great to see. It’s a good idea to have a plan for the bicycle after school. We have learned the hard way that leaving the bike overnight, even locked to a bike rack, is not a good idea. If you must leave a bike, please coordinate with the office so we can find a spot inside the building overnight.
As I mentioned last week, the weather is changing and we hold recess even in the rain. Please send your child to school with a coat. If your child needs a coat for the season, please let us know and we can help. Also, write your child's name somewhere on the clothing. If your child is missing a jacket or coat please have them check the lost and found…we have many items in the mai hallway. You are welcome to stop in at entry and dismissal to take a look yourself.
