Beginning of the year!

We are off to a great start here at Woodlawn!  I have been very impressed with the politeness of our new 6th graders.  Every time I have given a student some assistance, they have thanked me.  Outstanding!   On our half day this past Wednesday, there was an electricity in this building.  The students were very excited about the start of the school year and it showed.  I am thrilled that everyone is back and that we are back in business.

6th grade curriculum night went very well on Tuesday.  The parents did a great job of finding their way through the hallways.  Special thanks to the students and parents of those 6th graders who were affected by a scheduling issue on the Friday before school started.  You all handled it with the utmost class.

7th & 8th grade curriculum night is tonight, Thursday, August 25th.  Your participation is appreciated and essential for the success of your student.

I was thrilled with the turnout at locker set up day.  The students and parents really made that day work out well.  Make sure that you give a quick look to our Woodlawn website and focus on our PTO link to see the special lunch, dessert day and gym clothes forms.

I will be talking about our new technology program in future blogs.

Finally, I have to comment on the state of baseball in Chicago.  My comment is bad.  Football anyone?
