Early Release Mondays in 2024-2025

This year, elementary school students will be released three hours early on seven Mondays during the 2024-25 school year. With the adoption of new textbooks, differentiated support plans for students, required professional development for the new Virginia Literacy Act, new reading and math Standards of Learning exams (SOLs) from the state, and other initiatives — teachers have a lot to do in addition to actually teaching! These demands require blocks of uninterrupted, in person, and collaborative time to plan.

Woodlawn ES will have their early release Mondays on the following dates:

September 16
October 21
November 18
February 10
March 10
April 21
May 12

We will be sharing more specific information about dismissal on these 7 days, in the coming week! Thank you for your patience!
