A Note from Dr. Brown
Greetings Parents and Guardians!
Thank you so much for a wonderful week. Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving? I have a lot to be thankful for…being Principal of the amazing school is one of them!
Speaking of amazing…I had a great time at skate night Wednesday night! I am looking forward to the next one :-) See you there.
It has been nice having parents visit for lunch! We love our Woodward Mill Family and community. Please remember to adhere to the guidelines below so that we can continue to enjoy a safe and healthy lunch together.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Dr. Brown

Character Trait of the Month
Each month, we focus on a different character trait. The character trait for the month of November is “Honesty”. Honesty is an important character trait for our students to learn as they grow into trustworthy citizens. Teachers will be looking for students that exhibit this trait during November to be recognized as the “Cub of the Month” with a certificate and free ice cream!
Brrrr! It's Getting Cold Out There!
The cold weather came quickly this year! A generous community partner has donated some coats for our students who may need them. If you are unable to purchase a coat for your child and need one, please reach out to your counselor.
SEL Parent Night
Thank you to everyone that participated in the Social Emotional Learning Parent Night on Tuesday, November 1st. We are so thankful that we were able to share some of the things that our students are learning in school each day. Please visit www.casel.org to learn more about about SEL, and how to incorporate it at home. Also, please click on the handout below for questions that you can ask your children at home to engage your child(ren) at home!

We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom
When a black snake threatens to destroy the earth, one young water protector takes a stand to defend the planet's water, in a tale inspired by the many indigenous-led conservation movements across North America.
October 1, 2022- November 30, 2022
Our school-wide Beanstack training continues into November! Beanstack is an online digital reading program provided to all GCPS schools. Students are encouraged to log their reading minutes while working to meet challenges.
For now, the Fall Into Reading 2022 challenge will be in place as we continue to train students on using this digital platform. Students will login to Beanstack using their GCPS student number and their birthday month and date (MMDD) as their password. Students are able to log reading minutes either on their laptop or on a mobile device.
Refer to the media center link of the school website for helpful resources to get your child started with Beanstack. Contact Jennifer.Alden@gcpsk12.org if you have any questions about this digital reading program.
Join us on Facebook for more updates & upcoming PTA meeting information!
