The Week of Respect is a week-long event in New Jersey that aims to raise awareness about respect, diversity, and bullying prevention. It takes place during the first week of October, which also coincides with National Bullying Prevention Month. Faculty and staff collaborate to provide students with social emotional learning experiences to help prevent bullying and foster a positive school climate.

This week, students will participate community-building No Place for Hate projects with Mrs. La Gamba and participate in spirit week activities.

What to Expect on School Picture Day

1. When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
2. If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
3. A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to "Pull" all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
4. When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.

All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.

Feel free to contact our data department by emailing schoollist@barksdalephoto.com or your Sales Representative with any questions that you may have about picture day.

Woodcrest will celebrate Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 28. For more information about Red Ribbon Week, please see the attached letter from our School Nurse, Robin Olin.

Please review the Woodcrest Family Handbook for information about our daily operations, such as attendance, arrival and dismissal procedures and more.

We hope to see you at the first PTA meeting of the school year. The meeting will be IN-PERSON in the Woodcrest library.

Please consider volunteering for the book fair!

It cannot happen without you!
