Multiage Classes Informational Meeting
Woods Creek School currently provides two academic settings for students in first, second, fourth, and fifth grades. We offer traditional classrooms that have students of the same grade level and we offer multiage classrooms that place students from two grade levels (1st & 2nd, 4th & 5th) together in one academic setting. Each spring we host a parent meeting to share information about the multiage classroom structure at Woods Creek. We will present information and several multiage teachers will be present to answer questions. Our meeting will be held on Thursday May 2, at 6:30 p.m. in the learning center. The meeting is typically geared toward kindergarten and third grade parents since students can be placed in multiage rooms at the beginning of first grade and fourth grade. We fill our traditional classrooms and multiage classrooms on a first come, first serve basis. Sign up will be available via a Google form beginning on Friday, May 3 for parents who wish to request a specific classroom setting for their child. The Google form will be emailed to kindergarten and third grade parents. If you do not express a preference for a traditional classroom or a multiage classroom, we will assume that either placement is acceptable for your student. We feel either academic setting meets the high expectations for student achievement that we have established at Woods Creek. Information was emailed to Kindergarten and 3rd grade parents on April 3 and the information is shared here, as well
Academic Night- May 9
Families are invited to come to school for this celebration of student learning. Woods Creek students are excited to show their families projects and academic pieces that they have been working on at school. Classrooms are open for family visitation in open house style. A piece of art created by each student in art class will be displayed in the cafeteria for families to enjoy.
In addition, stop in the library and leave your mark by purchasing and dedicating a book. Families may purchase a book to dedicate in your child’s name and a name plate will be placed in the inside cover of the book. This book can be shared with Woods Creek students for years to come. All of the money raised goes directly to purchasing new books for our library. You can bring cash or make checks payable to Woods Creek School.
