Student Led Conferences 

Student Led Conferences are a great time for you to come into the classroom and view your child’s learning and progress.  For Grade 1 – 6, you do not need to book in a time, just show up with your child and expect to spend 15-30 minutes in their classroom.   

Conferences are on Thursday, March 19, 5 PM to 8 PM and Friday, March 20, 8 AM to 12 PM.  

If your child is in Kindergarten, Ms. Harper will be e-mailing you a time to sign up for conferences on either the Thursday or Friday.  This is to ensure physical space for all families to be able to explore their child’s learning in the classroom.  

A reminder that this is not the time to discuss concerns with the teacher but an opportunity to celebrate your child’s learning.   

Cultural Fair 

We are excited to invite you to our second annual Cultural Night on the evening of March 19th, taking place during Student Led Conferences. 

This special event celebrates the rich diversity of our Woodbine community and provides families with the opportunity to share their heritage through food, traditional attire, performances, art, music, and cultural displays. It is always a meaningful evening of connection, learning, and celebration for our students and families. 

We are currently looking for families who would like to host a cultural booth representing a country or region that is meaningful to them. If you are interested in participating, please review the letter which was sent home on SchoolMessenger for details and return the form (or email your information) to Ms. Rosenbaum by Friday, March 6, 2026. 

We look forward to coming together to celebrate the vibrant cultures that make our school community so special. 

Yearbook Cover Contest 

We are excited to invite students to participate in our Yearbook Cover Design Contest!
