Principal Message
Viking Families,
Happy November! As we enter a season of gratitude and reflection, we are excited about the learning opportunities and special events planned for our students this month.
On November 12, we will proudly celebrate Veterans Day as we honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. We encourage families to take time to discuss the sacrifices and contributions of our veterans with their children.
We also want to highlight the importance of our upcoming Interim Reading and Math Assessments on November 10 and November 17. These assessments provide valuable information about student progress and help teachers identify strengths and areas for growth. We ask that students arrive at school on time, well-rested, and ready to do their best.
You can support your child by:
- Ensuring they get a good night's sleep before testing days.
- Encouraging a positive attitude and confidence.
- Making sure they arrive at school on time.
- Celebrating their effort and perseverance.
As a reminder, if you are dropping off students before 7:15 a.m., please use the back drop-off loop. The gate opens between 6:45 and 6:50 a.m. We appreciate your partnership and commitment to student safety.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful November filled with gratitude, learning, and joy!
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are helping our students achieve success every day.
With gratitude,
Dr. Melissa Martinez

Dismissal Traffic Changes
Woodlake Families,
We will be making significant changes to our arrival and dismissal procedures for the 2026-2027 school year. Please help us ensure the safety of all students by following our traffic plan during arrival and dismissal.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
-
Pre-K and Kindergarten students will no longer be dismissed from the front of the school. All Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be dismissed through the gym as regular car riders unless they ride the bus, daycare transportation, Adventure Club, or another approved after-school program.
-
Please have your car rider tag visible during dismissal. For the safety of our students, all vehicles must display the assigned car tag on the dashboard. We also ask that parents remain in their vehicles while in the dismissal lane.
-
All Pre-K through 5th grade students will be designated as car riders unless otherwise noted as bus riders, daycare riders, Adventure Club participants, or WKPR Church program participants.
-
Walkers must use the sidewalks and walk home safely. The walker area is not a location for car rider pickup, students will be walked to the designated crosswalk of Lake Bend West and Woodlake Club and Lake Bend East.
-
There will be no early dismissals after 2:30 p.m. Additionally, walk-up pickups will not be permitted during the dismissal process.
Important Reminder
Please ensure your car rider tag is clearly displayed on your dashboard each day during dismissal.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to provide a safe and efficient dismissal process for all students.
