Woodbury Weekly Update for Families

Welcome to our weekly update! We are thrilled to keep you informed about the happenings at our school, celebrations & achievements and upcoming events, ensuring you're an active part of your students educational journey. In each update, you'll find some quick highlights of the past week and a preview of what's to come. Our hope is to foster a strong sense of community and collaboration between the school and our cherished families. Most weeks will be brief, but at times there is important information or updates that help support us in your involvement in our little school. Thank you for taking the time to read it!

Thank you to all who came to The Creamery for our Woodbury Night! We appreciate your support! We had our first practice fire drill and will have our practice law enforcement drill on Wednesday, September 25th as well as our bus evacuation drill on the 26th. Safety drills help us to familiarize students with the sound/ appearance of the alarms and the procedures necessary to make decisions in case of an emergency. The PPA Donut Fundraiser came to a close last week as well. This is always a big hit amongst our families. Thank you to all who ordered and supported our Woodbury PPA! Next week is homecoming week! Check out our fun dress up days below!

Hey, I showed the Woodbury Way! September is an overview of our core values. Right now we are focused on starting the year off right, learning to follow our common expectations so that we can all share a space to learn through kindness and respect for all. This crew had their name drawn this week after earning Woodbury Way recognition! Stay tuned as we celebrate our students each week and month!

You will be receiving your student's fall Progress Report on Friday, September 27th. This progress report is being provided to give you information about the current learner traits your child is demonstrating to start off the school year. Please review the “Key for Performance Standards” section at the top of the document before looking over your student’s learner traits. We encourage you to look over the entire document as a preview of what standards are being assessed this trimester and throughout the school year. Your child's progress towards those standards will be indicated on their first trimester report card and will be discussed with you at our parent teacher conferences.

We would like to welcome the newest members of our Sandwich community. If you or someone you know has just welcomed a new baby, please let us know! The Sandwich Community School District 430 would like to provide you with a welcome gift.
