Woodbridge Elementary School

Dear Woodbridge Families,

Families, we are here, we are ready, and we are excited to partner with you! Together, we will support your students in making great academic growth while ensuring they develop a strong sense of belonging at Woodbridge Elementary. We want every child to know they are valued, supported, challenged, and an important part of our school community.

This year is about more than opening a new school—it is about building something special together. We look forward to celebrating your children’s successes, supporting them through challenges, and watching them grow in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Please take time this weekend to talk with your children about the importance of being respectful, following school and classroom expectations, making good choices, and treating others with kindness. Beginning a new school year—and a brand-new school community—is exciting, and we all have a role in creating the culture we want at Woodbridge.

We are your partners in this work. If your child needs additional support, or if there is anything we should know that will help them have a successful start, please reach out to us. We want to work alongside you to help every student feel safe, supported, successful, and that they truly belong at Woodbridge.

Together, we will help our Phoenixes learn, grow, and rise!

Together We Rise! 🔥

Thank you to all of the families who joined us for our Open House events! We loved welcoming you into our school, meeting our students, and connecting with families as we prepare for an exciting school year.

Your support and enthusiasm have made our inaugural year off to a wonderful start. We are grateful to have such an amazing school community and look forward to partnering with you throughout the year.

Thank you to all families who have already reviewed the 2026-2027 Woodbridge Elementary School Family Handbook. If you have not yet done so, please take a few minutes to review it. The handbook contains important information about school procedures, expectations, attendance, safety, and communication. We will continue to update it throughout the year as we grow our new school community together.

Great news! Woodbridge Elementary School will provide all essential school supplies for students during the 2026-2027 school year. Families do not need to purchase standard classroom supplies.

Students should come ready to learn with:

• A backpack
• A reusable water bottle
• A positive attitude 😊

Teachers will communicate if any special items are needed for projects during the school year.

Need a backpack? Backpacks will be available for families who request one using the form below, while supplies last.

To help students return to learning quickly after an accident or spill, please send a complete change of clothes for your child to keep at school. Our nurse's clinic will not have extra clothing available.

We recommend including:

• Shirt
• Pants/shorts
• Underwear
• Socks

Please place the items in a labeled Ziploc or reusable bag with your child's first and last name, and update them throughout the year as your child grows and seasons change.

If families need resources for extra clothes, please reach out to our School Social Worker, Cory Cobern CobernCD@PWCS.EDU or our School Parent Liaison, Maite Diaz-Funez, DiazfuMS@PWCS.EDU.

Thank you to all the families who have already completed the Back-to-School Packet in ParentVUE! Your partnership helps us start the school year smoothly and ensures we have the information needed to support your child.

If you have not yet completed the packet, please take a few minutes to log in to ParentVUE and review/update:

• Parent/guardian contact information
• Emergency contacts
• Medical and health information
• Transportation and other student information, if applicable

Keeping this information current helps us communicate with families and respond quickly in case of an emergency.

Bonus: Students will earn 1 House Point once their family completes the Back-to-School Packet!

The safety of our students is always our top priority. When visiting Woodbridge Elementary or picking up a student early, please be prepared to show a valid government-issued photo identification upon arrival. For security purposes, students may only be released to individuals who present a physical form of identification and who are listed as an approved emergency contact.

We are excited to welcome families and special guests to join their students for lunch beginning October 1st! More information about lunch visit procedures will be shared as the date approaches.

We are also looking for volunteers to help make this school year a success. Opportunities include assisting during lunch, supporting our monthly Family Food Markets, helping with the Book Fair, Field Days, and other school events throughout the year. If you're interested in volunteering, please complete the Volunteer Interest Form linked below.

Please note: All volunteers must complete the required volunteer training and school division volunteer requirements before participating in any volunteer activities.
