Principal Update
Dear Woodstock Community,
We have had a great start to the year. Thank you so much for working to get kids here on time. Please remember that the front of the school is very congested with 4 busses, if at all possible, park on a side street and walk your student to their door..
Thank you for partenering with us. We are so glad you are here.
With Woodstock Pride,
Heidi Stoetzel Earle
Principal

Our PICCs of the Week
Join the Bike Bus
Bike Bus - Updated Maps and Start Times
Bike Buses encourage biking by creating designated routes to school that children and their families can join along the way. For families commuting to Woodstock School, you can join a Bike Bus by parking at the start of the route or anywhere along the way. Please check the updated Bike Bus map, as the routes and start times may have changed for your route. Bike Buses will roll every Friday, starting on the first Friday of school (August 28th).
Ready to roll with us? Join the Bike Bus WhatsApp Group for the route closest to you: Northside WhatsApp Group and the SE 60th/Carlton WhatsApp Group.
Woodstock Walk & Roll Fair - Save the Date
Join us for the 3rd Annual Woodstock Walk & Roll Fair after school on Friday, September 18th from 2:30–5:30 pm at the Traffic Playground (north west side of school). There will be a quick fix-bike repair station, helmet fitting station, bike safety and skills station, a free raffle, and more!
