A Woodland family sent in a photo and positive praise for their bus driver today. Thank you for taking the time on a very hectic morning to send in a happy note! 💚
"I wanted to say thank you for taking such wonderful care of the kids today and having their safety as a priority. Walking up to the bus I could feel the warmth coming from the bus so the kids were comfortable and greeted with a smiling bus driver."
At the Bilingual Parent Advisory (BPAC) Meeting last week, Nicasa Behavioral Health Services gave a presentation called "Prevention Talk" to teach parents and caregivers about trends in drug use and the dangers of substance use in youth. The presentation featured a mock teenage bedroom simulation to show parents what to look for in their child's bedroom called "Stay Out of My Room!" While the parents attended the presentation, the kids completed winter crafts with some of our Dual Language teachers. It was a great turnout!
It's time to start getting ready for our 2024-2025 Wildcats that are coming to kindergarten! Woodland Primary families, visit our newsletter at https://www.smore.com/sk07v to see all of the fun we have planned! #LifeintheW

REMINDER: Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) Meeting, Jan. 17!
The next BPAC meeting is Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. at Woodland Intermediate School. Nicasa Behavioral Health Services will provide a presentation called "Prevention Talk" to teach parents and caregivers about trends in drug use and the dangers of substance use in youth. The presentation features a mock teenage bedroom simulation to show parents what to look for in their child's bedroom called "Stay Out of My Room!"
Children are welcome to attend and create winter crafts with Woodland Dual Language teachers while parents attend the presentation.
Many district staff members were on site over the past few days to make sure our buildings, grounds, and buses are operational to bring staff and students back safely on Wednesday.
❄️ Our Transportation staff was in on Monday & Tuesday to clean off the buses, get them running, and to check that all safety equipment is working properly. To operate buses, we need to make sure the stop arm can extend when needed, safety lights and features are working as expected, and that the heat on the buses is working.
❄️ The Operations & Facilities team worked throughout the closure to clear parking lots and stay on top of the snowfall. Once the snow cleanup was done, their response then turned to making sure all building systems were operational, including heat, water, and electricity. They also had to be on site for a sprinkler system malfunction at Intermediate to clean up any water related mess or damage. This burst sprinkler head had only minor implications to specific areas of Intermediate, and due to their diligent work, will not impact school on Wednesday.
❄️ Our Technology Department was also on site each day to troubleshoot disruptions to our network and any other technical components that our school district relies on to keep school running smoothly.
Thank you for always showing up, even in the worst conditions, to keep us safe! #LifeintheW
