A Message from Your Principal Team
Dear Washington Families,
What a fantastic first week back from Spring Break! There’s a renewed energy across Washington, and it’s been great to see our students and staff back in action. We have so much to look forward to in the weeks ahead, including our Quarter 4 Assembly, report cards, and our highly anticipated Talent Show—it will be here before we know it!
Our after-school opportunities are also in full swing. Choir, Danza, SMILE club and Pickleball club continue, and we’re excited to kick off our 5th grade soccer team this week. Be sure to check our Event Calendar regularly so you don’t miss out on all the great things happening.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we appreciate your continued support in reinforcing our Eagle Code: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. Consistent messages between home and school help our students make positive choices each day. Let’s keep the momentum going and finish the year strong—Go Eagles!
Sincerely,
Alfredo Belanger, Principal
Antonio Ramos, Assistant Principal

Upcoming health lessons from The Great Body Shop (repeat)
As part of our commitment to teaching students important skills for staying safe and healthy, our school provides age-appropriate, comprehensive, and inclusive instruction on topics such as personal safety, decision-making, healthy relationships, and setting boundaries. These lessons use materials from The Great Body Shop, an Oregon-adopted curriculum. If you would like to review these resources, visit The Great Body Shop website at https://www.thegreatbodyshop.net/.
If you do not wish for your child to participate, please complete and submit the Request for Student Exemption Form to your child’s teacher. A paper copy will be sent home this week. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher for more information.
Thank you for your partnership in creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all students!
Community Survey for WSD District Plan (repeat)
As partners in the success of our students, your input is invaluable. We are in the process of revising our Strategic Plan and would love to hear from you. Please stop by at one of our locations during conferences.
Your voice is an essential part of this process.
We invite everyone in the community to take a few minutes to share their thoughts by completing this brief survey:
Woodburn School District Input Survey
In addition, families will have an opportunity to participate in focus groups during upcoming parent-teacher conferences, where we will gather feedback and ideas to help shape the future direction of our schools.
The Woodburn School District is a part of this community. The Strategic Plan is strongest when it reflects the voices, experiences, and hopes of the people who care deeply about our students.
Thank you for your continued partnership, your trust, and your commitment to the success of every Woodburn student.
There is still time to apply...📣 STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES ON THE BOARD!
