Finish Strong: Attendance Matters!
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, it’s easy to feel like summer has already arrived. However, we want to remind our families that attendance matters just as much now as it did in September.
Please help us ensure that your child comes to school these last days of school. We will be continuing instruction to ensure that students bridge the gap between their current grade and the next, preventing the "summer slide" before it even begins.
We want every student to cross the finish line feeling confident, prepared, and proud of their hard work.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making this school year a success. We look forward to seeing your child in class every day until the final bell!

💻 Urgent: Missing Laptops and Chargers
We are currently missing dozens of school-issued chargers, which are vital for student use to complete this year and for use next school year.
How you can help:

Check your home: Please ensure your child (Grades 1–6) has returned their school-assigned laptop and charger to school.
-
Return missing items: If you find a charger at home, please send it back with your student immediately.

Replacement responsibility: Families are responsible for replacing lost or damaged equipment. If your child’s charger is lost, please visit our Technology Page (woodlawnes.fcps.edu/technology) for specifications and a convenient Amazon purchase link.
We will be contacting families of students with missing equipment over the coming month. Thank you for helping us keep our students powered up and ready to learn!
