Education Way Closure Due To Fun Run
Due to the Fun Run, we will be using Education Way for buses on Friday, September 29th. Please be aware that the buses may be blocking the road by the baseball field on the south side of the school. This will impact Elementary arrival and Intermediate dismissal times. You may need to find an alternate route during those times. Thanks for your understanding and supporting our FUN RUN!!
Notes From Our School Counselor
Elementary Career Planning
Connections between strengths/interests and the world of work are developed early and explored through Life Skills classes each year. In addition to the information on the district website, information will be shared through newsletters and email related to Career Planning experiences at school. During September we focused on the work habits of following directions and listening effectively. Please contact Chris Biolo, Guidance Counselor at Woodland Elementary, if you have any questions.
Woodland Way Connections Survey
Like years past, all students in grade 4 will soon be taking our “Woodland Way Connections Survey.” This survey is taken in the fall once school has had a good start and students are settled in. The purpose of the “Woodland Way Connections Survey” is to see how well students are doing overall, and how connected they are while at school. Learning is easier and more fun when students feel comfortable and connected to others. We use this information to help those students who may not feel connected, and also to continue understanding our overall school student culture. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Bullying Awareness Week
Every school year at Woodland, students and staff spend some time talking about bully prevention. We align our efforts with Wisconsin's Day of Observance for Bullying Awareness that is set aside for the 4th Wednesday of September. This is an important step in laying the foundation for a positive school climate that we strive to create for and with our students each year. On the wall by our recess doors, you will find the following statement. “We, the Woodland Wolves, pledge to never bully anyone. Instead, we will choose to Dare to C.A.R.E.” Students and staff sign their names to the banner below our pledge as a reminder of what we said we will do.
School Photos
If you were unable to make a picture day in August and your child has not had their photo taken, the Woodland picture re-take day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 4th. Please see the additional information and a link to pre-order your photos. Please contact the office at 920-730-0924 if you have any questions.
