The Newsletter of Woodburn Elementary School - December 2019
Message from the Principal
As winter weather approaches there is the possibility of schedule changes. In the event of a school closure or delay, the district will launch an emergency notification alert. A recorded message will be sent via the primary phone number to every parent in the district when schools are delayed or canceled. You will receive this call at approximately 6:00 AM. The information is also available through local news media and the district website.
Please notify the school office immediately if your child has a different than normal emergency plan in the event school closes early for any reason. Your child must have an emergency plan in place (and the office notified of the plan) if he/she is to do something other than his/her regular dismissal routine.
Note: Snow routes are not the same as 2-hour late starts. If you live on a snow route, you have already been notified by the Transportation Department. In the event of a 2 -hour late start on any Wednesday, all elementary schools will dismiss at 2:30 instead of 12:10.
Winter Break will be from December 23 - January 3. Students will return to school Monday, January 6, 2020. Have a wonderful winter break.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me 833-5860 ext. 78221 or email me at brian.graham@camas.wednet.edu.
Make every day count!
Brian Graham Principal
