Words from the Woods
October 2018
Cheers!
School is happening, and October promises to be a busy month. Keep an eye on the Woods e-newsletter for upcoming notices and announcements.
Teachers will update PowerSchool this week with grades and comments for the first half of Trimester 1, so it's a good time to check in with your child about homework, deadlines, and what's happening in the classrooms.
Red Cross Blood Drive
Save a life if you can! Blood donors are welcome to drop in to make a donation.
Did you know students ages 16 and 17 can donate blood with parent permission? Your child received a form today, just in case.
Fall break
