From the Principal's Desk...
Greetings, Woodgrove Wolverines!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday. With the New Year upon us, we have many important and exciting events planned in the days, weeks, and months ahead. As our first semester ends on Friday, January 20, please note that our second semester will begin on Wednesday, January 25.
Parents/guardians of Seniors – the second semester will move by rather swiftly! Please communicate often with your son or daughter to make sure they are keeping up with Senior deadlines and graduation planning – and that they are keeping you informed as well. A Senior class meeting will be held at the beginning of the second semester outlining plans and expectations for their final semester with us. We will post this information on our school website as well. Please remember, our graduation is set for Monday, June 12, at 8 AM, at Woodgrove.
Planning and scheduling for the 2023-2024 school year are now underway. Our Course Curriculum Night will be Tuesday, February 7, beginning at 6 PM. This evening is for rising 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students and their parents/guardians. This evening will provide parents/guardians and students the opportunity to hear about course options and for students to consider their course selections for the upcoming year. After the large group presentation with our school counselors, families will have time to tour the building and experience the wide array of elective options that are available. This event will be in person, but we will post on our website a recording of the large group session provided by our counselors for those who are unable to attend. Please contact our Counseling Office with any questions.
Our fabulously supportive parent organizations, WWABC, WMAA, and PTSO have been very busy recently coordinating a number of events here at school. A special thank you to Dena Murray, the PTSO, and the rest of the many Woodgrove families, for providing staff with delicious cookies on December 14 and 16. We cannot thank our parent groups enough for the wonderful support they provide to our school. Please be sure to look for information on our website regarding meetings and upcoming events. Hopefully, you can take some time and participate in these events and opportunities.
We hope and expect 2023 to be an excellent year at Woodgrove, and we wish everyone the very best this coming year! We look forward to your continued support of our students, staff, and school community.
