Woodburn Families, 

Thank you for the most wonderful teacher and staff appreciation week. We truly felt the love and are so grateful to work alongside our amazing Woodburn community. Thank you, PTA, for providing a delicious breakfast, smoothie delivery, notes from students, a "snack attack," and yummy lunch. Because of your generosity, we raffled off 68 gift cards to our instructional staff. Your donations made this possible! 

The fun continues next week as the PTA will be hosting our annual Fun Run next Friday! We hope you'll join us. It is always a fun one! More information can be found below.  

Together We Grow,

Katy & Kelley

Together We Grow!

Our Girls on the Run team includes 60 girls and 7 Woodburn coaches. This year, the team chose to paint a mural as part of their service project. All who visit Woodburn will now be greeted by our motto, "Together We Grow." We are so proud of these girls and hope they feel their impact!

2024-2025 Class Placement and Family Input 

2024-2025 Class Placement - Family Input Form

We are starting to work on our plans for the 2024-2025 school year!  Class placements are an essential component of learning and building community. If you have information that you would like us to consider as we determine placements, please share your input by answering a few questions in the attached form. We know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success, and we carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process. Please do not request specific teachers, as this does not take into account the many variables we must take into consideration. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.

Completion of this form is optional. If you would like to provide input, you may use this online form or a hard copy may be sent to the office by May 17th. This is a hard deadline.
