Dear Woodburn Families,
Thank you to the many families that joined us on Tuesday evening for our PTA and School Leadership Q&A event. We hope you found the session informative. Should you be interested in viewing a recording of the session it can be found here.
As a reminder, the deadline for indicating your preference is July 15th. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you might have over the coming days. My goal is to be supportive and provide you with as much information as possible so that you can make the best decision for your child(ren) and family.
I remain confident that together we will build a learning program that focuses on maintaining our strong home-school partnership, ensures student learning at high levels and prioritizes safety for all.
Sincerely,
Katy Richman, Principal

Books can also be dropped off at 3407 Executive Avenue, Falls Church.
Are you looking for parental support but unsure if the full parenting groups are for you? Since COVID-19, the Parenting Education Programs has offered Virtual Parent Cafés. The Virtual Parent Café offers a parent support circle for parents to learn from each other as they grow in their parenting skills. For months, the virtual café has been offered in English. The Parenting Education Programs is excited to announce that the Virtual Café will now be offered in Spanish starting July 15. For more information about the Virtual Café click here.
A list of classes being offered in July can be found here.
The FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will continue to offer mental wellness consultations throughout the summer. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being or if your child would like to speak with a school psychologist or school social worker, please request a consultation. Our FCPS mental health providers are available to help families get needed support through a 45-minute phone consultation or through secure video conferencing. Appointments are open to all FCPS families.
Consultations are offered in two ways:
-
Directly to parents of students in any grade level. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social-emotional, behavioral, or academic functioning. Information about community resources will also be made available.
-
Directly to students in middle or high school. This consultation provides support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions; as well as academic challenges such as organization, time-management, or adjusting to a new school.
We encourage parents to take advantage of this service. Click here to request a consultation. You may also leave us a message at 571-423-4276.

English Language Development
In addition to attending office hours with our grade level teachers, we also are able to provide additional office hours for students to meet with one of our Woodburn ESOL teachers.
