Learning Quarter One: September 2, 2024
Dr. Reach's Principal Connections
September Greetings, Woodland Families!
As we jumpstart into this beautiful month of September, we hope that each of you enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day weekend. Spending time with our children and those we hold dear is so very important.
And now that our first month of school is complete, we are looking forward to our continued learning journey with your student/or students. It is an absolute joy to observe our students' excitement for learning each and every school day, and that is what makes our Woodland learning community so very special. As always, TY for partnering with us!
And finally, please continue to work with your student/or students at home each school day by asking questions about the learning day, reviewing homework folders, and as always - reading together for at least 20 minutes. And please reach out if you should have questions or should need additional information. WE appreciate you!
With my very best,
Dr. Karen Reach

TY, Afternoon Car Line Families, for your excellence with our Afternoon Car Line Tags. We appreciate you!
As we continue to refine our afternoon processes, please help us with the following car line details:
Please ensure that you are traveling at a very safe speed t/out our car line. It is always important to remain slow and steady within our lines (morning and afternoon).
Secondly, please do not leave your car unattended at anytime while waiting in our afternoon car line. This includes our K car line in the front circle. Please know that particular line is only for K students - without Woodland siblings. Please check with your K teacher if you should have questions in that regard.
Also, please do not enter our playgrounds or soccer fields at anytime unless you are officially signed in through our main office as a Woodland Guest.
Very importantly, we must refrain from taking photographs of classroom students on our playground and fields. Confidential procedures affirm that we may only take photographs of our own children unless pre-apprroved through the principal's office.
As always, should you discover anything amiss within our afternoon processes, please connect with Dr. Reach as soon as possible via email or phone.
Thank you, Woodland Families!
