Hello Woodstock Family!
It felt like fall this weekend, but it seems we still have a few more warm days ahead of us during this short week. The rain will be back before we know it! 🍂 🌞
Many of our afterschool programs are starting up. However, there is still time to enroll! Find an opportunity that allows your student to explore their interests, learn new skills, and make new friends. See below for details. 🎶
A quick note about joining the PTA. The Oregon PTA is still trying to get their website up and running. Renewals and new memberships will be unavailable until the issues are resolved. We will keep you updated!
Have a great four-day week! 💙🦁
—Your friendly Woodstock PTA

Bike Bus Info and Save the Date for a Special Guest Bike Bus + 🍩 on 9/25
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, rain or shine. 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.
Special Guest Bike Bus + Donuts on Friday, September 25: The guest will join the SE 60th/Carlton Bike Bus on 9/25 and then there will be donuts for both bike buses when we arrive at school.
