Principal's Message
Student led conferences are an opportunity to meet with your child's teacher and to see the wonderful work that has been happening in the classroom during this past term. The teacher will conference with you and your child for a ten minute period. Your child and teacher will share his/her learning with you. Children and parents are invited to be in the room for an additional 10 minutes before or after your conference time to allow sufficient time for browsing and discussing the learning.
Please be aware that there may be more than one family in the classroom at the same time. If you or the teacher feel an additional private conversation is warranted without your child or another family present, this can be scheduled at a separate time, before or after the student led evening and can take place face to face or by telephone. This can be requested from either yourself or your child's teacher. Please feel free to request this from your child's teacher if required.
All parents are asked to register for a student led conference appointment for each of their children at www.woodlawn.schoolappointments.com . Please follow the instructions in the handout that your child will bring home this week. All instructions will also be posted on our website: woodlawn.hsd.ca
The booking site will be available from November 1st to 20th for booking appointments. We ask all parents to register online for an appointment by the end of the day on November 20th. If you are having difficulties, you may call the school for assistance. If you do not have internet access please call the school to arrange an appointment for your child's conference.

Student Safety
Please call the school between 8:00 and 9:00 am or write in your child’s agenda before hand if you know they will be absent or will be late because of an appointment. You can also e-mail us at woodlawn@hsd.ca, leave a voicemail outside of school hours at 204-326-6110 or enter attendance through your parent portal account. As a security measure our policy is to phone home if we have not heard from the parent/guardian of an absent student. If necessary we will also phone workplaces and emergency contacts to make sure the student is safe. Any student that is arriving late is to check in at the office before proceeding to class.
HOME TIME ARRANGEMENTS
In the interest of maximizing learning time in the classroom and keeping interruptions to a minimum, please make "home time" arrangements (including school pick up times, appointments and other arrangements) with your child(ren) before they leave for school in the morning.
Please write a note in your child's agenda if home time arrangements are different from your normal routine, whether your child is to go home with someone else, or to wait at the office to be picked up. Notes in the agenda will help to eliminate confusion for the student and teacher at the end of the school day (3:45).
