Pick up your Yearbook
Many students still have to pick
up the yearbooks that their wonderful parents ordered for them!
Please have a conversation with your teen and ask if they picked-up their yearbook. We have posted a list of the students who still need to pick up their books
on the Library’s Blackboard FCPS 24-7 page. If your student’s name is on
there in error (he or she already has their book) kindly email the yearbook
adviser at ewkoby@fcps.edu.
To families who ordered nameplates
for the yearbook and haven’t received them yet, please accept our apologies for the
inconvenience. There was a problem with the nameplates we received from the
publisher, but the new batch has arrived! Students can come pick up their nameplates after exams each day next week in Room D-205. Thank you for your
understanding!
Medication Pick-up
The
school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication
stored in the health room must be picked up no later than dismissal time on
June 14, 2018. Medication left in the health room after that time will be
discarded.
It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent
or guardian, however, with parent or guardian written permission, a high school
student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the health room.
If you have any questions, please contact the School Health Aide Naima Fanou at
703-503-4610 or the Public Health Nurse Kate Boyd at 703-503-4691.

Where Are You Going to School Next Year?
If you will not be attending Woodson or a
Fairfax County high school this fall, please let Woodson
Student Services know now.
Please click here
and fill out this form. Student Services will make sure all transcripts
are forwarded to your child’s new school so his/her file is complete. If
you have any questions, please contact Woodson registrar Christine Lieb-Mosley at
703-503-4622 or cliebmosley@fcps.edu.
Career Center Volunteers Needed
Many of our Woodson Career Center
(CC) parent volunteers are graduating this year. CC volunteers have a
unique opportunity to learn about the post-secondary research and the application
process during their volunteer shifts.
Parents of rising 9th
and 10th grade students especially benefit because they will feel
more comfortable when it is time for their students to embark on post-secondary
research. To provide consistency, volunteers are asked to commit to a shift
for an entire academic year. Interested parents can sign up at https://tinyurl.com/CC-Volunteer-18-19.
Register by or before Monday, June 4th for best consideration.
 Rising 9th Grade Summer Transition Program
The Woodson Summer Transition Program is designed to help welcome and transition rising 9th graders and their families to W.T. Woodson High School.
In this program, students will learn to navigate the building, participate in Q&A sessions with current students and teachers, experience peer-building activities and simulated classroom lessons. Through all of these activities, students will become adjusted to the culture of W.T. Woodson High School.
When & Where is the Summer Transition Program?
The Woodson Summer Transition Program will be daily Tuesday, August 7th through Thursday, August 9th from 8:30 am – 12:00 pm at W.T. Woodson High School.
There will be a student and family cookout at the conclusion of the program on Thursday, August 9th from 12:00-1:30pm.
