NEWSFLASH! September 11, 2009
Welcome to the Woodbury School and Team Wolves. Thank you for subscribing to our NEWSLFASH, a communication tool exclusively available to Team Wolves Parents to increase communication about team and school happenings.
We will send out NEWSFLASH updates approximately two times per month with information we think is important for parents to know. We hope you are happy with our website and welcome any suggestions or constructive criticism that might help us communicate with you more successfully.
We hope you are adjusting to another school year and a new school. Below you will find some important dates:
- September 15: Magazine Drive Kick-Off
- September 17: Picture Day
- September 22: Grade 6 Open House - 6:30 PM
- October 5-7: NECAP TESTING
- October 9: Progress Reports Distributed
We are excited to meet all parents at Open House on September 22. A notice from the office with more information on Open House should come home with students no later than Tuesday of next week. If you do not receive the notice please ask your child to speak with their advisor.
All students were given an "Assignment Notebook" with the expectation that it will be used to record their daily homework assignments. Students are required to bring their Assignment Notebook with them to each class. This has proven to be a great organizational tool for all students and is a great way for parents to check-in with their child.
During advisory today students were given information on Student Council. Any student interested in joining Student Council can pick up an informational packet at the school store. If you or your child have any further questions on Student Council please speak with Mrs. McDonough who is the Student Council Advisor.
We appreciate all your signatures and attention to all the paperwork that needs to be sent home at the start of each school year. Homework has started and students are working hard and we appreciate your involvement. Please stay tuned for our next NEWSFLASH in approximately two weeks.
