🌸 Watering today, blooming tomorrow.
Dear Woodburn Families,
As we enter the final days of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, and families for a year filled with growth, perseverance, and achievement. Together, we have accomplished so much, and I could not be more proud of our Woodburn community.
This year, we have seen significant academic growth across the school. Students demonstrated impressive gains in both literacy and mathematics, and our SOL results reflect strong increases in achievement. Our multilingual learners also made exceptional progress, with WIDA growth reaching some of the highest levels we have seen in recent years. Across grades K–6, students showed meaningful growth in both reading and math, a reflection of their hard work and the dedication of our teachers and staff.
In addition to academic success, we have made tremendous strides in student attendance. Our school's chronic absenteeism rate has decreased significantly this year, ensuring more students are present and engaged in learning every day. This accomplishment would not have been possible without the partnership and commitment of our families.
As excitement builds for summer break, we ask families to continue reinforcing school expectations with students. Maintaining positive behavior, making good choices, and showing respect for others and school property remain important through the last day of school. Consistent expectations at home and school help ensure a safe and positive end to the year for everyone.
A few important reminders:
- Wednesday is a two-hour early release day. Please plan accordingly for dismissal and transportation.
- Families with students who have medication stored in the school clinic must pick up medications by the last day of school. Medications cannot be sent home with students and cannot be stored over the summer. Please contact our clinic staff if you have questions or need to make arrangements.
- We look forward to celebrating our students through upcoming end-of-year activities, classroom celebrations, and our 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony next week.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout the year. The accomplishments of our students are a direct result of the strong collaboration between home and school. We are proud of all that our students have achieved and look forward to celebrating a successful finish to the 2025–2026 school year.
