Don’t hibernate this winter! Start your day with a good breakfast. Bundle up and play outside. The fresh air, exercise, and Vitamin D will help keep you healthy!! Have fun! Be sure your child has a change of clothes in school - spills and falls happen too.

A Note From the Principal
Dear Woodholme Families,
We hope everyone has been enjoying the mild winter so far (I hope I'm not jinxing it!).
BCPS is currently conducting a Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey to give our stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback to our school and to the county, so thanks for getting online before March 3rd to take the quick survey to let us know how we are doing. The link for the survey is above in the newsletter. For the many families who give us such great feedback about the Woodholme experience, this is a great opportunity to let others know. We strive to make sure each student has a positive school experience with great academic growth!
Inclement weather is possible at any time during the winter months, so please check TV, online or radio news for any BCPS closings, delays or early dismissals. Please do not wait for the school or county Connect Ed phone calls or emails to notify you of closings, delays or early dismissals. We do not send the Woodholme delay or closing calls out right away in the morning so that they do not disturb families too early. Parents are expected to seek this information via the media. Please click on the link for more information if you do not know where to go for BCPS inclement weather information: http://woodholmees.bcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_147540/File/Newsletters/INCLEMENT%20WEATHER.pdf
Parents who drop off students in the front of the building before school opens need to be aware that we are not ever able to let students into the building early, even in the cold or wet weather. Please do not drop off your child before the 9:15 AM bell rings. Students should remain in warm cars supervised by their parents or caregivers until 9:15AM. Cars dropping off students should also never drop off students from the road. We ask that you stay in the car pool line so your child(ren) can be dropped off at the front loop safely.
Thanks for your assistance with the safety of our students.
Stay safe and warm this month, and remember to keep an eye and ear out for inclement weather events in case of school delays, early dismissals, or closings. And maybe we'll get lucky and keep the mild winter this year.
Sincerely,
Principal Young
