Woodcrest Wolverines
Week of 8/24 to 8/28
Counselor’s Corner: Welcome Back, Wolverines!
2026–2027 School Year | Week Two Complete!
Dear Students and Families,
We are officially two weeks into the 2026–2027 school year! This week is all about building connections, staying organized, and getting involved. As routines begin to settle in, we want to encourage every Wolverine to find ways to connect with our school community while continuing to build strong academic and behavioral habits.
ACADEMICS – STAY ORGANIZED & STAY ON TRACK
The second week of school is a great time to make sure those first-week routines are becoming habits. Encourage your student to:
- Check Aeries regularly and monitor grades and missing assignments.
- Use an agenda, planner, or digital calendar to keep track of assignments and important dates.
- Check Teams and/or OneNote for updates and class materials.
- Complete and submit assignments on time.
- Ask questions and communicate with teachers when they need clarification or support.
- Take a few minutes each afternoon to organize materials and prepare for the next school day.
Small habits practiced consistently can make a big difference. Our goal is for students to become confident, independent, and responsible learners.
SCHOOL SPIRIT – OUR FIRST SPIRIT WEEK!
Our first School Spirit Week is here! Spirit Week is a fun opportunity for students to show their personality, school pride, and Wolverine spirit.
We encourage students to participate. Whether your student dresses up every day or participates in just one activity, every positive contribution helps build a stronger school community.
Parents, ask your student:
“Which Spirit Week day are you most excited about?”
You may be surprised by the answer!
COMMUNITY & CONNECTION – AFTER SCHOOL HANGOUT
Students will also have an opportunity to connect with peers and enjoy time together at our After School Hangout.
Activities like these are more than just fun—they give students opportunities to build friendships, practice communication skills, discover interests, and feel connected to their school.
If your student is looking for ways to get involved, encourage them to give an activity a try. Sometimes finding their place at school starts with simply showing up!
BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT – LET’S CONNECT!
We are excited to welcome families to Back to School Night!
This is a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to learn more about their student's classes, meet teachers, understand classroom expectations, and gain insight into how they can support learning at home.
We encourage families to attend and use the evening as a chance to strengthen the connection between home and school.
Remember, students are most successful when the adults supporting them work together. Your involvement matters!
THIS WEEK'S WOLVERINE CHALLENGE
Get connected!
Try something new this week. Participate in Spirit Week, attend the After School Hangout, introduce yourself to someone new, or simply find one positive way to contribute to our school community.
School is more than what happens in the classroom. Belonging, participation, and positive relationships are important parts of student success.
💜 Let’s keep building a great year, Wolverines!
Be Respectful • Be Responsible • Be Safe
