Woodburn Families,
It was another great week at Woodburn. This is a busy time of year as our teachers are hard at work collecting midyear reading, writing, spelling, and math data. We use this data to help us measure student growth and to identify specific supports and enrichment opportunities for students by name and need.
We hope you enjoy the long weekend and join our community in remembering Martin Luther King, Jr., his many contributions, and fierce advocacy for racial justice and equality.
Together We Grow,
Katy & Kelley

Body Safety Program
We are looking forward to our second year of hosting the body safety program at Woodburn in partnership with Fairfax County. Speak Up Be Safe lessons will occur during the week of February 5th- 9th 2024. Parent information letters including opt-out forms have been sent home in Thursday folders. The lessons take place in each classroom with trained facilitators from the county and teach the body safety rules below in age appropriate ways. Please reach out to the school social worker, Molly Buchanan at mabuchanan@fcps.edu or program coordinator Francesca Lovitt at: Francesca.Lovitt@fairfaxcounty.gov with any questions.
