Another Great Week at Woodland Heights!

Here are a few notes and highlights from the past week at YOUR Woodland Heights School:


Principal Johnson Visit > On Monday Principal Eric Johnson visited WHS, met with parents, toured our building, spent time in classrooms and connected with students.  Mr. Johnson was impressed with what he saw and Woodland Heights, and is eager to begin his work with you this summer.


Spring Assessments > Spring assessments (AIMSweb for students in Grades K-2, and NWEA for students in Grades 3-5) got underway this week, and NECAP-Science (a statewide science test) will be administered next week for Grade 4 students.  So far, so good!  The kids seem to be working hard, and taking these tests seriously.  Individual student reports will go home with students next month.


Staff Appreciation > WHS-PTO kindness and generosity cannot be overstated!  WHS staff members were treated (spoiled?) by the WHS-PTO all week long to refreshments, gifts, and many expressions of thanks for what our staff members do for the children of WHS every day.  Thank you WHS Staff, and Thank You, WHS-PTO!


End Of Year Calendar Filling In > We have a number of great activities and year-end traditions scheduled for our learning community over the remaining weeks of school.   Please note the list of dates to the right of this article and mark your calendars accordingly.  You won’t want to miss any of the action, or have your children unprepared for class or school activities.  We also have this information posted on our school website and electronic family calendar (also found on our school website).   Please check these information resources regularly!


Thank You, and Join Us For a Family BBQ > WHS would like to thank parents for their support and partnership throughout the year.  Please join us, and be our guest, at the WHS Family BBQ on May 3oth.  More information about this celebration will come out soon, but we can tell you that the barbeque and Read-In will be a great family activity, — and lunch will be free for our parent guests!  Come out, have a great time with your friends at WHS, and celebrate a wonderful year together at Woodland Heights School!  We hope to see you there.
