Dear Woodburn Families,
We have had another great week of learning in-person and online. Over 250 students will return for 4 days of in-person learning next week. Our teachers and staff have been hard at work making adjustments to their classrooms and schedules to prepare for this change. We are so incredibly thankful for their endless focus on students and families. It will be great to have more students in the building each day.
Picture days are next week! Virtual families still have time to sign up for a time slot. More information can be found below.
Together we grow!
Katy and Bridget
