Welcome back to a four day school week!

There is no school for students Friday, April 3 and Monday, April 6 for teacher grading and planning. Luckily, it looks like the weather will be back to sunny and perfect for the long weekend and the Creston/Woodstock bike ride on Friday. 🌞

Perhaps your child can pass the free day by perfecting and submitting their talent for Woodstock's Got Talent. The deadline for submissions is Friday! 🎤

Whatever you do with this long weekend, we hope you get some time to rest and connect with family. This last stretch of school is going to fly by!

Let’s get ready to walk for our first ever El Camino de Dolores Walk to School event! This year, we’re honored to dedicate our steps to the incredible legacy of Dolores Huerta. This year, we're taking inspiration from the extraordinary life of Dolores Huerta. As a civil rights icon and labor leader, Dolores paved the path to justice, organizing farm workers and leading powerful marches for fair wages and safe working conditions. Her journey showed us how courage, persistence, and a united community can transform lives. By joining this event, you are building community in her honor and learning about her great work. To learn more about Dolores check out this video.
