Woodbridge School's Vision
Woodbridge School inspires and nurtures students to be lifelong learners so that they can connect with the community and improve the world!
Principal's Message - Week of : 10/12/26
Welcome back from fall break! I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break filled with time to relax, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. We are excited to welcome our students back to campus and look forward to another great stretch of learning, growth, and connection at Woodbridge Elementary!
As we begin the next part of our school year, I want to remind everyone of the importance of regular school attendance. Every day at school is an opportunity for students to learn something new, build relationships, practice important skills, and make progress toward their goals. When students attend school consistently, they are better able to stay connected to classroom instruction and experience the full benefits of their education.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected circumstances happen, but we encourage families to make school attendance a priority whenever possible. Your partnership in ensuring your child arrives at school on time and ready to learn makes a meaningful difference in their success.
Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and commitment to our students. Together, we can continue creating a positive school culture where every River Otter feels supported, valued, and excited to learn.

Reminders
Just a reminder, this year we are changing the way we are handling house shirt orders. House Shirts are now being pre-ordered just like our Woodbridge Spirit Wear Shirts. There will only be a couple of times students will be able to order House Shirts each school year; order forms go out in Aug & again in January. All students were given a House Shirt order form in the Otter Envelope along with the Woodbridge Spirit Wear Order Form (these are two separate order forms). House Shirt Order Forms must be filled out and turned into your child's teacher or the office with cash or check attached. Please make checks payable to Woodbridge PTA. House Shirts cost $10 each. All House Shirt Orders are due by (Friday Aug 28). Orders will be submitted to
Smart Watches will be treated the same as a phone on campus, per board policy. If a student is using the device on campus, it will be placed in the office for a parent/guardian to pick up.
Please see below for a couple of reminders:
Students drop off is between 7:45 am and 8:10 am.
Free breakfast will be served until 8:10.
Students not eating breakfast will head straight to the playground to walk.
Late students need to go directly to the office for a tardy slip.
TK/Kindergarten students need to be supervised by a parent/guardian until the teacher arrives.
Please put your child’s name on their backpack, clothing, and lunch box.
Other than BRIDGE PROGRAM students need to be picked up at the end of the school day, unless they walk/ride home.
Breakfast and Lunch are free to all interested students; bring ONLY healthy snacks to school. No candy, Hot Cheetos, or Takis
Please do not drop your child off in the bus loop in the morning. This is for busses ONLY. Also, please remain in your car in the drop off zone in front of the school to keep traffic moving along. This area is a loading/unloading zone ONLY. Thank you for helping our mornings run smooth!
As always, thank you for being a partner with us in your child's education! Together, WE can make a difference!
