Become a Woodland 8 Habits Family
BECOME A WOODLAND 8 HABIT FAMILY- We would love for you to help us bring the 8 Habits home. Please click HERE for our family 8 Habits Choice Board. You will see just how easy it is to use the 8 Habit language at home and how it can transform your family’s habits and behaviors at home in a positive way. Once you complete the choice board as a family by completing 2 tasks from each section, send it back to any of your children’s teachers, and you will earn a Woodland 8 Habits magnet for your car. We would also love it if you could take a family picture of you all completing one of the Habits and send it to your classroom teacher so that we can celebrate your family on social media and maybe even our school website!

Daily homework- Read for 20 minutes, get Green Light on Reflex or Mission on Frax, complete any assigned IXL skill assignments.
Students should be getting the green light in Reflex or completing a mission on Frax every night (Monday - Friday) each week. They know what this means. Sometimes, they have time to finish in class. They can show you in the top right corner of the computer program if they have earned the Green Light that day. Reflex is a computer program purchased by our school to build their fluency skills with basic math facts (multiplication and division through 12s). This is key to success in 5th grade Math this year!
Logistical Reminders
- Dismissal: Please remember to be in the carline each day no later than 2:30pm to pick up your child. We know the lines are long right now, but the dismissal process will start moving quicker next week. Elementary students dismiss at 2:15pm and teachers need to report to meetings various days of the week after school.
Ongoing Reminders
Please keep in mind the rule for length of shorts in our WES Handbook and help us by checking your child's clothing to make sure it follows the rules: *The length of properly worn shorts, skirts, and skorts must be no shorter than the mid-thigh. *No tube tops, halter tops, or spaghetti strap tops. Tank tops straps must be an inch wide. *Dresses must not be shorter than mid-thigh.
Bring CHARGED Chromebooks to school each day.
- Please remember that our 5th graders' bodies are changing as they are growing. We are encouraging the kids to dress for the weather, wear deodorant, and have water bottles with them to stay hydrated.
- Have a set of headphones and pencil pouch of supplies that can stay at school.
