Supplies for Students

We are hard at work organizing supplies for every single Wildcat! 

Each student will receive reading, writing and math materials that are specific to them and their grade! 


Dear Woodburn Families,

We hope you are continuing to stay safe and dry.  This week we had the opportunity to participate in the annual FCPS Kickoff event.  These events included a keynote address by Dr. Kendi and our leadership sharing a district-wide commitment to keeping equity at the center of our work.  We are feeling energized and excited to support this focus at Woodburn. 

We hope you will join on us on Monday evening for our community meeting.  We will be sharing information about:

  • Instructional schedules
  • Laptop and supply distribution
  • Open House and Back to School Night
  • And much more! 

We hope you enjoy the weekend.  

Sincerely,

Katy Richman, Principal

Bridget Louder, Assistant Principal

Technology Survey

We are preparing for our virtual start of school and would like to get a laptop to EVERY Woodburn student. Next week you will be receiving a survey that all families must complete to indicate if students have an FCPS laptop. Please submit one survey for every Wildcat. 


Our School Website

Our amazing SBTS, Kelley, is constantly updating our website so that it can serve as a source of information for our families. View our Woodburn Return to School page for updates about the fall. Our site will continue to be updated with timely information and updates that will help you prepare for the upcoming school year.

A continued special thanks to Lynn Rozental for her amazing effort coordinating an ongoing food drive to benefit our community. Lynn will continue collecting and delivering food every Wednesday for the foreseeable future, so there’s still time to support our families! You can drop off food at 3403 Cypress Drive, Falls Church. There is a box on the porch 24/7.  No deadlines- whenever you have time to shop/drop off. You can also order food online and have it sent. If you have any questions please call 202-590-7034
