Field Day Volunteer Request
We are excited to announce that once again Woodbury Middle School is organizing a schoolwide event on Wednesday, June 5th to celebrate the end of the 2023-2024 academic year. This celebration will be a fun-filled event with games, music, entertainment, and various activities for our students.
To make this event successful, we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to assist us with the organization, set up, and management of the event. This is a great opportunity to get involved at WMS! It is also an excellent chance to meet other parents, and be a part of our school community.

Character Education Survey - Take by May 28
In 2023, our WMS community was named an Honorable Mention State School of Character. We are continually working to improve this character initiative at Woodbury Middle School, and we would appreciate it if you would complete our parent survey. The information you provide is important to us and will be used in school planning.
The survey should only take 10 minutes of your time. Please complete the survey today, if possible, but no later than May 28, 2024.
Your response to the survey is anonymous, confidential, and voluntary. Responding to the survey constitutes your consent for us to use the information for district and school planning.

Thank you for your assistance and we appreciate your time!

Setting Up Notifications in Schoology
Did you know you could set your Schoology Notifications up so that you can receive a message any time your child has a missing assignment? This will be beneficial for checking in with your student about their grades and helping them keep up to date with assignments.
Special note: You may need to set this back up this school year even if you had it set up last year.
Notifications are daily or weekly opt-in messages that notify parents, via email or text, of their child’s academic progress. Parents will be notified about homework, graded tests and assignments, recent activity, upcoming tests and other due dates.
Once you are logged into Schoology and you have connected to your child(ren) you can set up notifications.
NOTE: Notification settings affect all children so you only need to setup notifications for one child.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to your name at the top right
- Choose any child that you are connected to in Schoology
- Click the dropdown arrow next to your child's name at the top right, then click 'Settings'
- Click the Notifications tab and change the settings to your preference. Don't forget to click 'Save Changes'
