Woods Lake Elementary

Weekly Update April 05-09, 2021

From the Desk of the Principal

Hello Woods Lake Family,

Welcome back from our Spring Break! I trust that you have had a restful time and also took some time to read a good book!


We are excited about the in-person activities that we have planned. Mark your calendar, we want to invite Woods Lake families to our school site on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, at any time during the day to use the sidewalk chalk to write an inspirational quote that will be shared with our Woods Lake school family. It's a way to stay connected, while we are at a distance.


Our virtual google classes will resume for your child today, Monday, April 5, 2021. Be sure that your child is logged on to their virtual google classroom on time, as we are continuing into the third week of the third and final trimester!


As always, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!


Micole D. Dyson, Ph.D.

(KKIT) Kalamazoo Kids In Tune


Here is the latest episode of Some Good News: KKIT Edition. A monthly YouTube News Report where we share all of the amazing things going on at KKIT. This month we reported on Family February and interviewed a mom and son about their experience. We had 25 families participate (the highest yet!) and 30 families join us for our Virtual Game Night. It was such a hit - we're going to plan another one in the Spring.

Kalamazoo Communities in Schools (KCIS)

We have made the tough decision to not hold a Girls on the Run team at Woods Lake this year. However, 3rd-5th grade girls will still have the opportunity to participate in GOTR. Please see this flyer for more information. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!
