Woodbine Weekly – March 31-April 4, 2025

Labour Action Update: The CBE has reached a tentative collective agreement with CUPE Local 40.  If the agreement is ratified by its members, CUPE Local 40 staff will return to work on Friday, March 21.  More information is available here:  Labour Action Update for Families

Outdoor School – Gr 6: Our Grade 6 students will have the opportunity to attend Kamp Kiwanis from June 9-11.  Save the date for mandatory parent meeting on Thursday, April 3, 6:30 pm at Woodbine School if you plan on having your child attend outdoor school.

Lifetouch Class Photos – Update: We would like to inform you that the class photo proofs sent home with students this week contained a printing error. The version you received mistakenly included instructions on how to order the class group photo. We kindly ask that you disregard this information and refrain from placing an order for the class photo.

To resolve this issue, Lifetouch will be reprinting all class photos as 8x10s, and each student will receive a copy at no additional cost.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Scholastic Book Fair is coming – Apr 14-17: The Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for April 14-17 - more information will be coming home soon.  We will be looking for volunteers to help make this event successful – we will be sending out a link to sign up closer to the time.
 

Final Call for School Planning Survey: If you have not yet had the opportunity to participate in a short survey that opened February 18, 2025, we kindly ask from the bottom of our hearts to please click the link below and share your feedback. It is closing on March 28, 2025 - 11:59 PM.

The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback from families on school planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget, and school fees. When students, staff and families work closely together, students experience greater success.
