2026-2027

Dear Woodland families,

Big community event this week at Science Hill. Trunk or Treat!! Tuesday 5:00-7:00. Hope to see you there.

Attendance Matters Spirit Week is happening this week. We will have a class competition for which grade level has the best attendance. There will be prizes. See flyer below for the dress up days and the class competition.

The PTA has shared the Reflections contest that is going on right now. If your child participates they will get to have a special lunch with me that PTA will provide. Details about what Reflections is are below.

There will also be a veteran's form coming home so that we can honor our Woodland veterans. Please look for that info in your child's folders.

There is also new Woodland spirit wear available in the PTA store. There is a link below. Orders are due by Nov 7.

Have a great week!

Announcements

Attendance Matters

Just a reminder to turn in doctor's notes for late arrivals and early dismissals. If your student receives three or more unexcused tardies or unexcused early dismissals in a nine-week period, they will have lunch detention. Notes need to be turned in as soon as possible so we can enter them correctly in PowerSchool.

Cafeteria Information

If you join your child for lunch, please sit at the designated table. Thank you.

Ice Cream sales will continue on Thursdays for $.75. There is a fund anyone can contribute to so all students have an opportunity for ice cream on Thursdays. GallamA@jcschools.org

A special lunch for Grandparents Day will happen later this quarter. We love our grandparents!!
