Dear Parents & Guardians,

Welcome to a new school year! The students have settled into their routines and they have transitioned into Woodbury Elementary School quite well!

Our Flag raising ceremony was full of positive energy! It was great seeing all the parents in attendance to support welcoming our students and staff back to school on the first day!

Please remind your son or daughter to be an Inquirer ( develop natural curiosity, acquire skills to conduct inquiry and research, show independence in learning and enjoy learning). Encourage them to ask questions when they need deeper understanding with the lessons in class or even something as simple as needing more time in the lunch room. They should feel as though they can ask any adult for support and help. Our staff is focused on developing strong relationships with every student this year. With our new Caring School Community Program, and our two advisory periods, we are supporting every student's needs for social emotional learning. The Woodbury staff will make a difference in every students' life.

Woodbury wants to communicate effectively with all stakeholders and caregivers. On Thursday, September 12th, you are cordially invited to Woodbury's Curriculum Night. Please note we are changing the format from the flier mailed in your student packet of information. You will receive an updated flier with the format to meet your child's teachers'. You will hear about all the wonderful learning experiences your son or daughter will be involved in this school year!

Thank you for a great opening week at Woodbury Elementary School!
