We are off and running in the 2012-13 school year! It was a long week, but a very good
week here at Woodlawn. I was
telling the parents at curriculum night last evening that I do not remember a
start to the school year that began as smoothly as this one. Thank you to all of our PTO volunteers
and the patience shown by all to make this such a great beginning.
The students have been outstanding and I am thrilled with
the way they are working together to make Woodlawn an even better place to
be. We had a fun assembly to kick
things off on Wednesday, and went right to work. I had the privilege of getting into some classrooms and
actually feeling the excitement in those rooms.
We have been doing some things for so long that I have take
it for granted that everyone just knows how the systems work. A question came up recently surrounding
the activity busses and how they work.
At the end of the school day (2:30p.m.), the students go home on any one
of 15 busses. At 3:15p.m. there
are 4 late busses to take students home.
The drivers of the late busses are veteran drivers who ask students
where they live and have the ability to get the students home as quickly as
possible. The route is longer and
could take up to 45 minutes to get home.
If anyone has questions surrounding any Woodlawn procedure, please do
not hesitate to ask me and quite possibly, it could wind up in the blog.
Picture Day is this Tuesday, August 28th. Your student should have brought home a
picture form for you to fill out.
On Monday, we will be sending home the letter which includes
the parent ID and password and the students ID and password for parent access
to PowerSchool. This is slightly different this year because parents need to
create their own parent account. The first time you log in, you will be asked
to create your parent account. (You
cannot miss it on the webpage.) If
anyone has trouble signing in, please call the Woodlawn office.
Have a great week!
Mr. G-
