Woods Lake Family Weekly

Good afternoon Woods Lake Family,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to remind you that Fall Conferences are coming soon. Preference sheets for the day and time were sent out last week and are due tomorrow. We are so excited to sit with you and discuss your child's progress so far.

Additionally, please note that students do not have school this Wednesday.

Your Interim Principal,

Ms. Prather

I want to extend my gratitude for your continued support and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Due to safety precautions, our wonderful secretaries will be required to ask you a few questions before unlocking the doors for your entrance into the office. You will be asked for your first and last name, as well as your child's name. The secretaries will look you up in our system to confirm your identity before allowing entry. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; we just want to ensure the safety of everyone in our school community.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

• No cellphones, smartwatches, or personal electronic devices visible on school grounds (including buses) during school hours.
• No hats
• No hoods
• Pants must be worn on the waist, and should not fall below the waistline.
• Shorts and skirts must come to an appropriate length to cover your child's body.
• Shirts must cover abdomen and chest area
• Physical Agression/Fighting on school grounds or a KPS bus will result in a suspension and a "Return to Learn" meeting before your student may return to school.

Please read and review the KPS student code of conduct for a full list of KPS conduct expectations before your student attends school.

Thank you for your attention to our dismissal procedures. To make changes to your child(ren)'s regular dismissal plan, please call the front office to inform the secretaries before 3 PM. We cannot authorize a different bus change on the same day; any changes must be approved by the KPS Transportation Department first.

If you would like to pick up your child, who typically rides the bus, please ensure you call our front office before 3 PM.

Office will shut down from 3:30 PM until last bus leaves the school. This means that phone calls will not be accepted, and doors will be locked until our dismissal procedures are completed. Our goal is to give all of our staff the time to ensure that all of our students are getting home safely.

The office will open up as soon as dismissal has ended until 4:30 PM. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
