Woods Lake Elementary
Weekly Update January 25-29, 2021
Hello Woods Lake Family,
We are midway through the second trimester! If you have not taken the opportunity to collect your child's curriculum for those students in grades 1, 3, 4, and 5 you may stop by the office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Progress reports will be going home to families during the first week of February. This unique school year has afforded us the opportunity to provide more electronic updates of your child's learning and progress through additional portals such as, google classroom, dojo, text messages with PDF documents to view, and more.
We will plan to celebrate those students and families that have demonstrated high engagement by attending synchronous google meets, participating in classroom dialogue and discussions, and turning in their work. Those who have demonstrated high engagement will be celebrated. Pizza will be delivered to participating families on Friday, February 12, 2021. Thank you for all that you do to keep your child online and learning daily!
As always, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!

We will provide instruments and introductory lessons so you and your student can prepare together for a special virtual performance on March 4. The time commitment is 2 hours per week, including every Thursday from 4pm-5pm.
