Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to thank all of the parents who attended parent teacher conferences last Friday. It is always great when teachers and parents come together to talk about academic achievement. I am requesting all parents to please keep the lines of communication open with our teachers. If you have any questions or concerns, we do not have to have a formal parent teacher conference day to meet and talk about your child. Please call the main office at 216-295-4150 or email your child's teachers whenever you have a question, comment or concern. Feel free to contact our school counselor,
Mr. Lenczewski at 216-295-4174
. The more we communicate, the better the outcome for our students.
If you are the parent of a 5th grade student and were unable to attend our World Language Night and would like information regarding the foreign language choices for next year, please feel free to contact the Main Office. They will connect you with one of our World Language teachers who will share information to help you and your student make an informed decision regarding the language your child will take for the next five (5) years.
It's that time of year where we are beginning to host our incoming 4th graders during their 4th Grade Mixers. The first mixer was a huge success! The boys and girls in attendance did a great job getting to meet and interact with 4th graders across all 5 elementary buildings.
Please mark your calendars for the next 4th grade mixer which is scheduled for Thursday, March 7th at 7:00 p.m. in the Woodbury Main gym.
Thank you for another great week at Woodbury Elementary School!
Always believe!
