Woods Lake Elementary
Weekly Update November 30 - December 04, 2020
Hello Woods Lake Family,
Today is the first day of the second trimester! Be sure to have your child log on to their homeroom google classroom by 9:30 a.m. Our new schedule for this second trimester builds in more teacher-student learning time, as we progress throughout this 2020-2021 school year!
The instructional schedule for elementary students is changing with the beginning of our second trimester, starting Monday, November 30, 2020. We will continue alternating weeks for A/T Math and ELA. The schedule can be found on our A/T website. Recorded lessons will be posted on the KPS website. Additionally, Avant Garde students' morning session will now begin at 8:30 am on Wednesdays until 9:25 a.m.
This is the last week for our PTO sponsored virtual book fair. The dates are November 20 through December 3, 2020!
If you were unable to pick up second trimester supplies for your child, you may call the office and arrange a time to stop by Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!
