Dear Families of Woodland Consolidated School, 

 

The first week of October is a very busy one! State testing begins for grades 3-8.  The calendar was sent out from the office last week, so please help support your child by having an early bedtime the night before and arriving on time for school.

​

Soccer teams had a successful season this year!  The teams worked hard and had lots of fun & growth.

The Cross County team has their final meet on Oct 1st, here at Woodland.

Basketball sign ups are available to students who are interested.

​

If you haven’t 

submitted your registration 

paperwork yet,

please do 

so ASAP.

 

Some procedures that we would like to mention: 

• If you drop your child off in the mornings, please enter the lower driveway, proceed up through the loop to drop off your child and then exit out the middle driveway.  Please do not park where you will need to back out.  This is for the safety of everyone.  Arrival time in the mornings should not be before 7:45 a.m., unless prior arrangements have been made with the classroom teacher or myself. 

• If you are picking your child up anytime during the school day, please report to the front door and request that they be dismissed from class. 

• If you are picking your child up at the end of the school day, we are continuing our dismissal procedure,  to try to eliminate cars being parked on the road. Please do not arrive any earlier than 2:25 pm and enter the driveway closest to the playground.  From there, you will follow the same traffic pattern as we have had, and stop at the middle door for pick up dismissals.  Our staff will begin dismissing pick up students at 2:30pm.  When you have your child secured in your vehicle, we ask that you slowly proceed out of the parking lot, exiting through the middle driveway.  Buses will be loading at the office exit simultaneously.  When loaded, buses will also be exiting the same driveway, and we ask that all cars yield to the buses as they pull out through the middle driveway.  That way, they can be on their way, without delays. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

• Please be sure to read the Monthly Notice that is emailed to families, as well as checking our FaceBook page for school updates.The staff at Woodland School eagerly accepts the challenges and responsibility of guiding our students through these important, informative years in school.  At the same time, we realize that parents play a critical role in their development and therefore we sincerely welcome your input and cooperation.  Together, we can provide the best education possible for our young people.  As the saying goes, “It takes a village!”

School Safety

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.
