We are so excited to welcome Lori Coombs, our new Early Childhood Supervisor/Assistant Principal, to our Primary Staff! She is going to make amazing contributions to our students and their educational journey and personal growth. Lori just joined us this week and is diving right in to get to know our staff and students. You'll get a chance to meet her at our upcoming curriculum nights later this month. She's also out and about at our arrival and dismissal times. More to come about Lori, but for now, be sure to say hi if you see her around Woodland Primary!
