School Update:

Mr. Sprong has been called away unexpectedly. The good news is that Principal, Jeff Hutton will be returning in his absence, he will be joining us on Monday. Mr. Hutton was our acting principal for the second half of the 2024-2025 school year when Mrs. Fraser transitioned out of Woodbine. He is looking forward to connecting back with the school and the community.

IPP:

Save the Date – IPP Family-Teacher Sessions- September 29!
If your child is on an IPP, you will soon receive an email invitation from your child’s teacher to attend a family-teacher working session. These sessions will take place on Friday, September 29, which is a non-instructional day. This is an opportunity to collaborate in building your child’s IPP goals for the year. By waiting until this date, teachers have the best opportunity to get to know your child as a learner, which leads to more meaningful conversations when building IPP goals together.

Welcome Back BBQ: Save the Date!

Spare Clothing:

We would appreciate parents having an extra change of clothes in your child’s backpack in the event of and accident or spill at school.  Children are often more comfortable changing into something of their own rather than something from the school.  Additionally, our sizes are limited and we may not be able to accommodate all students’ needs.  This is especially important in the younger grades.
