Wood View Elementary
Family Newsletter- December
A note from Mrs. McCaslin and Mr. Israelson
Families of Wood View,
In the spirit of thankful hearts, Mr. Israelson and I would like to sincerely thank you for your collaboration and partnership this year. We truly couldn't be the amazing school community that we are without your dedication to our mission. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are proud to be the leaders of Wood View and wish you joy this holiday season. Please be aware that our Winter break begins Dec. 22nd and students return on January 6th.
Beginning December 15th, I will be out of the building until February 3rd. During my absence, Mr. Israelson will be taking the role of Principal and will be your primary contact. His email is israelsonrm@vvsd.org. Our Assistant Principal will be our current Assistant Director of Special Education, Ms. Megan Cracraft. Her email is cracraftmf@vvsd.org. I am confident in their ability to lead our school throughout my leave. Both leaders have strong vision and will continue to keep Wood View thriving.
During the upcoming cold weather months, we will require snowpants to play in the snow outdoors. If your family is in need of coats, hats, mittens, or snowpants, please call our offices at 630-739-0185 to speak to our Community Liaision, Shawna Joy McIntyre. We will continue to be outdoors daily unless it is below 11 degrees. The importance of outdoor play is something we truly believe supports the development of our students. If you or your family are in need of other supports throughout the year and especially this holiday season, we can help! Please reach out using the information above.
Below you can see some exciting announcements, however, I'd like to highlight a few.
