Woodland teachers were thrilled with the turnout for our annual Fall Parent Conferences on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, November 9th. Most all teachers reported the highest parent attendance rate in recent years. We are absolutely delighted that our partnership with parents continues to strengthen at WHS.
There is little doubt, and an abundance of research suggests, that the quality of a student's education is impacted as much by the level of interest and involvement of the child's parents as it is by the 'quality' of the school the child attends. Our school's success, that of your child, and the future that s/he will one day enjoy, depends heavily the commitment you make to support your student in their learning at Woodland Heights. There is a direct correlation between parent involvement and student achievement: when parents value education, students do better in school. For all of our work at WHS, you are and will always be your child's greatest and most powerful teacher. Without parent commitment to create a stable and loving home, and actively support their child's education, a child's likelihood for enjoying a successful, happy, and fulfilling life are greatly reduced.
Other evidence of our growing partnership with parents includes the record number of attendees to school and WHS-PTO events this fall such as the Warm Woodland Welcome, Fall Open House, Halloween Party, Harvest Festival, and more (our annual WHS Turkey Dinner will be serves this coming week -- you won't want to miss it, check our school website for details). The attendance and activity of our parent organization, the WHS-PTO, also grows in number and influence. Everything related to our parent partnership is trending in the right direction at WHS. Thank you.
Be part of your child's education. Be part of the magic that will help make your child's life all that it can be now and in the many years ahead. Start now by becoming a Woodland Heights parent partner!
We hope that you will be able to join us on Thursday for our annual WHS Turkey Dinner -- I guarantee that it would make your child's day. Gobble-gobble!!
