Dear Family and Friends,

As I sit at my desk, one last time, it is with pleasure and fond memories. I wish to thank you for your love, care and support for the music program at Woodbridge.

Music is more than notes and rhythms. It is about building confidence, expressing emotions, creativity, and learning the value of perseverance. I am truly grateful to have such supportive families who encourage their children to grow through music. Thank you for celebrating progress to performance, and from discovery to dedication. Music is a work of HeART, and elementary music is just the beginning to the soundtrack of our lives. I will always treasure the beautiful moments we created together through music.

In teaching we have a little saying, “parents send their best everyday.” I want to thank you for entrusting me with each and every child. Thank you for trusting me to be part of your child’s musical journey. I appreciate your kindness and encouragement. Your children bring such joy to my heart, and I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to help them grow- not only as young musicians, but as wonderful human beings. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your love, your trust, and your unwavering support.

With heartful love and gratitude,
Your Music Teacher,
Mrs. Newton (AKA: Mrs. Mutant, Mrs. Nutin, Mrs. Mewton)

Interviews for our part-time music teaching position will take place next week. We look forward to sharing an update with families once the position has been finalized.

School fee information for the 2026-27 school year is now posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. All fees are due within 30 days of being posted and must be paid prior to field trip participation. To view/pay fees, log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal and go to “Student Fees.”

Don’t forget to also log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal regularly throughout the year. Fees are often added to your child’s account to cover the cost of various school activities such as field trips, class projects, extracurricular activities fees and more.

If circumstances exist where you’re unable to pay your fees, you can apply to have certain fees waived by submitting an application for fee waiver, found at www.eips.ca/schools/fees/waiver-of-fees. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2026.

For more information, visit the Fees page on our school website or contact the school office at 780-464-3330 if you would like to make payment arrangements.

☕ Comfy Cozy Day – October 1

Get cozy, Wolverines! Wear your favourite pajamas, comfy clothes, or cozy gear and settle in for a fun and comfortable day at school.

📚 Wear Letters or Words! – October 7

We’ve made a change to our October 7 Spirit Day to help celebrate Read-In Week and our theme, Let Stories Soar!

Instead of Inside Out & Backwards Day, we invite students and staff to Wear Letters or Words! Choose a shirt, sweater, hat, or other clothing featuring letters, words, a favourite saying, book title, or anything that celebrates the written word.

We can’t wait to see words come to life around WBF!

Interested in getting involved? There are many ways to volunteer throughout the year. Email wbfpa.chair@gmail.com to learn more.

The 2026 WBF Wolverine Wear online shop is now open with a variety of Wolverine Wear available for students and families.

Orders can be placed until September 30. After this date, the online store will close and no additional orders can be accepted.

All items are custom-made, so please review the size charts provided with each item before ordering, as returns and refunds are not available.

📦 All orders will be delivered directly to the school for distribution.

It was a great photo day. The kids were amazing and we're so excited for you to see their photos!

Galleries will be ready for you to view within 2 weeks. To receive an email as soon as the photos are ready to view, pre-register via the link: https://fiddleleaf.shootproof.com/woodbridgefarms2026.

When the photos are ready, an email will also come from the school with details on how to view and purchase them.

If your child missed photo day, has an older or younger sibling not at the school, or if you’d like photos of siblings together, please visit the WBF webpage to see the available options.

Questions? Call or text us at (587)410-0280 we're happy to help!

Thank you!
The Fiddle Leaf Photography Team

We are excited to be partnering with the Sherwood Park Crusaders through their Adopt-a-School program this year. Crusaders players will have opportunities to visit Woodbridge Farms and connect with students through activities such as intramurals, Read-In Week, our Terry Fox Run, and other school events.

As part of the partnership, we will also participate in the Crusaders’ Caught Being Kind program. Students who are recognized for demonstrating kindness may receive a certificate for a free ticket to a Crusaders game. Certificates redeemed at games will also be entered into an end-of-year draw for family season tickets for the following season. We are looking forward to having the Crusaders become another positive presence in our Wolverine community.

If your child will be absent or late, please notify the school using one of the following options:

• Email: WBFattendance@eips.ca as well as your child’s classroom teacher.

• Online: Complete the Report an Absence form on the school website.

• Phone: Call the school office at 780-464-3330 and leave a message.
