PTSO Meeting is THIS Tuesday, March 13th
The PTSO meeting is this Tuesday, March 13th at 7pm in the
Library. Parents, teachers, and students are invited. We try to share as much information as
possible through the WeMail, but there is no substitute for face-to-face
discussions and opportunities to ask questions. Principal Floyd and other Woodson Admin will attend. In addition to other key PTSO committee reports, Spring Grant Proposals will be discussed and voted on.

X2VOL
Volunteer Hours Tracking System - Student Training Opportunity
Wednesday March 21st and April 18th
in F105 after school. Fairfax County provides schools with a
digital tool for tracking volunteer hours called x2VOL, and WTW is using it. Woodson
now tracks volunteer hours for both service learning, which may result in a
service learning cord worn at graduation, and general community service hours,
which may result in a diploma seal for excellence in civics and education given
by the Virginia State Board of Education. Students should take advantage of
this opportunity to learn how to use x2VOL. Information from the March 9, 2018
Career Center Newsletter.
A 6-minute video about x2VOL is available at http://www.ebmcdn.net/fcps/fcps_video_viewer.php?viewnode=b6fc74a452351.
