Dear Parents and Guardians,
When this communication comes out the students and staff will have
28 days left of school
and I believe the warmer weather has finally arrived. With the warmer weather and activity levels increasing, we have revisited the rules and expectations for our Positive Behavior Supports Program (WPBS). We have had conversations during assemblies and in our classrooms on how we conduct ourselves in all the common areas which includes our hallways, bathrooms, playgrounds, and cafeteria.
All year long, our students have heard our staff talk about our three universal rules/guidelines for Woodbury:
Be Safe, Be Respectful & Be Responsible
. We also continue to emphasize another building focus of
"Being Kinder Than Necessary
!" One area that we have continued to review our expectations has been the cafeteria. We have discussed the IB Learner Profiles for Caring and Principled with our students and how to treat one other during the lunch/recess time. As adults, we will continue to model the appropriate behaviors between one another and the students.
Thank you for another great week at Woodbury Elementary School!
Always believe!!
D. Young, Principal

Prize Donations & Camperships Needed for Camp
Prizes can be small, inexpensive items children would find fun. Some popular items last year were posters, t-shirts, card games, balls, hats, books, jump ropes, water bottles, and stuffed animals. We are also looking for monetary donations for "camperships" to help support all students' ability to participate in 6th grade camp. We welcome donations to the Campership fund! Do you have something to donate?
Please contact Ms. Rashid at Woodbury at 295-4154.
