Message from the Principal
Hello parents,
December is officially upon us! Did the first three months of school move quickly or what?
Winter sports practices began this week. Our school hosted a community walk-through on Thursday that offered an opportunity for anyone associated with Woodbury to come into our building and get a guided tour. These events are held twice per year and usually have a theme. In the past we have highlighted our AVID program and our LATIC (Learner Active Technology Infused) approach. Yesterday, we showcased our newer teachers. The tour took our visitors into the classrooms of these individuals to see some of the incredible things happening in those rooms; the future is certainly bright in our building!
Next week we have parent conferences. You can find a copy of the letter I sent home about this event at the bottom of this newsletter. The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, Dec. 6 - 1:30 - 3:00 pm; 6:00 -8:00 pm
Thursday, Dec. 7 - 1:30 - 3:00 pm; 6:00 -8:00 pm
Friday, Dec. 8 - 7:40 am - 2:30 pm (Junior High only)
It is our expectation that all parents attend these conferences. It is critically important that you connect with each of your child's teachers so that everyone understands their progress so far and remains on the same page to help them find success. For our Junior High parents, please be sure to click on the link below to sign up and schedule your child-led conference. I can't wait to see each of you next week!
Keep Love Present,
Dr. Vivadelli

Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA)
At our last meeting, the PTSA president, Anita Campbell resigned. Our communications director, Betsy Tucker, also resigned. Pauline Everingham was elevated to the president position from her vice president spot. Her vacated vice president spot will be voted upon at our next meeting.
During this time of transition, I would like to renew my call for any parents wishing to participate in this organization to come out to our next meeting. We could use your assistance and support! Thank you for considering joining.
Next meeting: December 11
