All of your friends at WHS hope that you and your family have enjoyed a happy and healthy summer. As we near our school opening on Tuesday, August 27th, the pace of preparation at WHS increases considerably. Over recent days our custodial staff have put the finishing touches on a number of cleaning projects and facility improvement projects. They have also been very busy helping teachers set up their classrooms (and in several cases, move their classrooms to a new pod). The school is looking just fantastic, and we can't wait to show it off!
Over the past weeks of summer, our school has been alive with activity and learning as we hosted our district's Extended School Year Program and our own Kindergarten Camp program. We have also hired a few new staff members (details will be shared in a future blog post), engaged in a lot of professional development activities (workshops, conferences, and institutes), registered many new students and families, and took a little time off for ourselves. It has been a GREAT summer at WHS.
Now we are ready to welcome you back, and begin another fabulous year filled with learning and gorwing. Please join us for our annual 'Warm Woodland Welcome' which will be held on Thursday evening, August 22nd, from 5:00-6:00pm. At our Warm Woodland Welcome, you will have an opportunity to bring your family into the school before opening day, find classrooms, meet teachers, and reconnect with friends. The Warm Woodland Welcome is always a great way to start our school year with a relaxing visit to the school before the serious business of schooling begins. We hope to see you then!
