Family Handbook Reminders and More to Keep You Informed
Student Clothing
It is a good idea to send in an extra pair of clothes, including underwear and socks, for your primary aged child to have at school in the event of a spill or accident. Your child can keep items in their locker or cubby in the event of need. Hopefully, this will help us avoid the need to contact you and ask you to bring clothing to school, and it returns your child to class and to learning very quickly.
Walking School Bus Goes Live!
A Walking School Bus is a way for students to get to school by walking together in a supervised group. Student participants are chaperoned by a parent “Driver,” who leads the walk to school along a set route, picking up children along the way, much like a regular school bus.
Where: Woodfords Corner Area
When: Beginning on Tuesday May 7th (& each Tuesday for remainder of school year)
Why: Healthier Habits, Cleaner Environment & Community Benefit!
- Walking to school enables children to incorporate regular physical activity before they arrive to school
- When families decide to lace up their sneakers to get to school, they help reduce the amount of air pollutants emitted by automobiles
- Children and parents develop a sense of community when walking with friends and neighbors along the way
How Friends of Woodfords Corner can help:
We, along with the National Center for Safe Routes to School, believe in the importance and joy of safe walking. We support our community and have set a goal for the 2019-2020 school year to have a Walking School Bus that operates 5 days a week!
If you are interested in participating, please contact me! The specific Walking School Bus route will be determined by the level of interest. ALL are welcome to walk!

Clothing Closet Organization Needed!
We are in need of some cleaning and organization in our school's clothing closet. If you have a couple of hours available and would be willing to come in to sort and organize, it would be greatly appreciated!
We have many families that utilize our clothing closet! Thank you for your help!
