At Parent Night, classroom teachers shared information about our new Math Program, Bridges in Mathematics. Here is a link to a one page document with a summary of what your child will learn and do with this new program. You can also view information on the Family Support Website, including a brief video.

Woods Creek is partnering with Treering for yearbook compilation and online sales again this year. All yearbook orders must be placed online via this link: Treering Yearbooks. Our school passcode is: 1016039057551331. Each yearbook costs $18.60 (softcover) or $25.43 (hardcover) and you can save 10% if you order by October 31, 2024! Yearbook orders placed by April 29, 2025 will be delivered to the school for distribution before summer break. Please contact Mrs. Walsh at kjwalsh@d47.org with any yearbook questions.

Cubs Prime is our school based store supporting our PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) program. Students select items from a set menu each month which are packaged and then delivered to the classrooms. We are in need of volunteers for Cubs Prime Packing on several days for approximately one hour. If you would like to volunteer to pack bags for students, please sign up on the form linked here.

Please join us for our first ever Family Library Night! The "Discover Your Library" event will take place at the Crystal Lake Public Library on Thursday, October 10th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. The event will be held as an open house to promote the library, get families familiar with the library, and provide them with information regarding library events. You can sign up for a library card, check out books, complete a scavenger hunt, create bookmarks, play games, listen to stories read by your teachers or principals, and explore Sphero Robots. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

The cast and choir of Dot and the Kangaroo, Jr. are preparing for their performances in November. All Woods Creek students will get the opportunity to attend the musical during the school day on Thursday, November 14. This will be a morning field trip for students. Also, there will be ticketed performances on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16. Tickets will go on sale at a later date. Mark your calendar for the show!

The District 47 app has gotten a fresh, new look but still offers all the same features and resources! Please accept the one-time popup of the privacy statement, it is something all apps have and once acknowledged it will not show up again. Thanks for your cooperation!

The WC PTO spirit wear sale runs September 17 through October 1. All orders need to be placed at: http://www.shopCOTTONandINK.com (password: Cubs2024). Contact the WC PTO at woodscreekpto@gmail.com with questions.

Enjoy a meal at Panera on October 10. Bring or show the Woods Creek PTO fundraiser flyer or use code FUND4U when ordering online to help our school. Panera will donate 20% of sales to the WC PTO!
