Principal Update
Dear Families,
Class Placements are available for all families to view in ParentVUE today Friday, August 14th. Creating class lists is a complex and intentional process. Our team spends considerable time and effort balancing diverse learning needs, personalities, and peer dynamics to build well-rounded, supportive classroom environments for all students. If you have questions about our process, email me at hearle@pps.net.
Kindergarten Families, your Ramp Up information and schedules were sent in the mail this week. I look forward to seeing you at the Ice Cream Social in Woodstock Park at noon on August 22nd, and check out the flyer below for details about the family bike ride afterwards!
With Woodstock Pride,
Heidi Stoetzel Earle
Principal
