​​​Dear Families of Woodland Consolidated School, 

​​

I am pleased to welcome you to the beginning of another school year at Woodland Consolidated School! I hope the summer months brought your family time to relax, enjoy one another, and make lasting memories. As we begin the 2026-2027 school year, I am excited to see our hallways filled with students once again and look forward to all that the new year will bring.

 

A successful school year depends on a strong partnership between our school and our families. Our teachers and staff are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their potential. We greatly value the partnership of our families and appreciate your continued support of our school and our students.

 

As we start the year, I would like to take a moment to review a few important school procedures. Keeping these routines consistent helps us maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone.

• Morning Drop-Off: If you are dropping your child off in the morning, please enter the lower driveway, proceed through the loop to drop off your child at the front door, and then exit through the middle driveway. Please do not park in an area where you will need to back out, as this helps keep our students, families, and staff safe. Arrival time should not be before 7:45 a.m., unless prior arrangements have been made with your child's classroom teacher or with me.

• Pick-Up During the School Day: If you need to pick up your child at any time during the school day, please report to the front door and request that your child be dismissed from class.

• End-of-Day Pick-Up: We will continue our current dismissal procedure in an effort to keep cars from parking along the road. Please do not arrive any earlier than 2:25 p.m. Enter the driveway closest to the playground and follow the established traffic pattern. Please stop at the middle door for student pick-up. Staff will begin dismissing pick-up students at 2:30 p.m.
  Once your child is safely secured in your vehicle, please proceed slowly through the parking lot and exit through the middle driveway. Buses will be loading at the office exit at the same time. Once loaded, buses will also exit through the middle driveway. We ask that all vehicles yield to buses as they pull out so that buses can leave safely and without unnecessary delays. Your cooperation with this procedure is greatly appreciated.

• School Communication: Please be sure to read the Monthly Notice that is emailed to families and check our Facebook page regularly for school announcements, reminders, and updates.

 

At Woodland School, we are proud of the caring and dedicated staff who work each day to support our students academically, socially, and emotionally. The elementary and middle school years are an important time of growth and development, and we are honored to be part of that journey with your children.

We believe that the strongest schools are built through meaningful partnerships with families and the community. Your communication, involvement, and support make a tremendous difference in the success of our students. We encourage you to stay connected with us and to reach out whenever we can be of assistance.

 

Thank you for entrusting your children to us. We are excited about the year ahead and look forward to making it a successful, memorable, and positive experience for every Woodland student.

 

Once a Woodchuck, always a Woodchuck!

​​​School Safety

​

A Friendly Reminder:

Dismissal time is 2:30 pm.  We kindly ask that parents arrive no earlier than 2:25 pm.  We thank those of you who are not parking on the road, but we also want to remind you that parking in the town office lot before 2:25 pm should be avoided so we are not blocking access to the garage.Thank you!

​

​

Safety of our Woodland students is our top priority.  We have seen a continued increase in dangerous driving practices within our drop off and pick up lines.  It is imperative that we, as a school community, work together to make sure that our students are picked up and dropped off at school safely.

 

For drop off:

• Arrive no earlier than 7:30 am. (Staff arrive at 7:30 am)

• Pull up slowly to the office doors to allow your child out of the car.  If you have young children, it is suggested that you exit the car with your child to ensure they walk safely to the door.

• If there is a vehicle in front of you, remain in the car line behind them until they begin moving.  Slowly drive out of the lot, not passing any parked cars.

 

For pick up:

• Arrive no earlier than 2:25 pm.

• Remain behind the first basketball hoop until a duty teacher waves you to the pick up door.

• Drive very slowly to the pick up door. 

• Duty teachers begin escorting students to vehicles at the same time bus students are loading buses.   It is important that no vehicles are moving out of the car line while students are being escorted to cars or loading the buses.

• When the buses exit the lot, the duty teacher will wave the car line to exit as well.  Please drive slowly through the lot.

• The duty teacher will have cars stop at the dismissal door to pick up remaining students.   Please do not pass any vehicles in the lot.

​

PICK UP CALLS/BUS CHANGES

We recognize that changes to schedules can happen unexpectedly, however, we do ask that calls and emails for changes to your child’s pick up/bus change happen before 2 pm.  Often, Mrs. Green is not available to check emails after that time. Thank you for your understanding.
