Woodland's March News
March 2019
What's happening this month?
Woodland's new aquarium will be here soon! Thanks to the generous donation made by the Methacton Education Foundation, Woodland will have a huge, community fish tank in our lobby. Each class will sponsor a certain type of fish. A paper will be sent home explaining how we will raise funds to purchase the grade level fish. Please look for this during the first week of March. Families will have the opportunity to suggest names and the actual "fish naming" will happen at an all-school assembly in the Spring.
Book Fair and Art Show 3/12/19
New Sign-in System
Woodland is now using the LobbyGuard System for signing visitors into Woodland. You MUST have a license or passport to come into the school. Please get into the habit of bringing one of these two items with you whenever you come to the school. Even those who previously had a badge, MUST scan their documentation. Thank you for your cooperation. This is strictly for student safety and all four elementary schools are using LobbyGuard. It is located in the glass lobby right outside the main office. Once you scan your document, a name tag will print out in the main office.
Side Parking Lot Used for Recess
Please be advised that from the hours of 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, the gate leading into the parking lot from Heatherwood Rd. will be closed. I have asked that the teachers not park in this area so that we can use this area for recess. We need more room for the students to run around.
