Woodlawn Principals' Message: Have a great, safe Memorial Day Weekend

I was hoping that the weather would be nicer as we enter this Memorial Day Weekend, but hopefully, it will warm up soon. There are a number of fun activities coming up and our students have earned all of these privileges with their outstanding performance this year. I am really proud of our students and the effort that have given in all areas this school year.

Phone Problems

I apologize for the phone problems we experienced this week. Each day this week we fully expected our phones to be back in service, and at times, they did work. The district, AT&T and Simplex are all working on correcting the issue.

Graduation Information

Graduation for our 8^th graders is coming up soon. We handed out gown packets this week. There was a flyer from VIP photography with your gown if you would like to order a picture of your graduate. Your entrance tickets for graduation at SHS were also included. I recommend that you hang your gown for remove all of the wrinkles.

We will practice for graduation in the gym here at Woodlawn on Monday, June 3^rd. Buses for Great America will depart at 9:15a.m., So, if your student is not going to Great America, they should be picked up from Woodlawn at 9:15a.m.

Woodlawn has the early graduation this year, at Tuesday, June 4^th at 6:00p.m. I look at a graduation ceremony as a dignified event and implore all families to behave appropriately. I will talk with your students about my expectation and hope that we have an outstanding evening.

Graduation Gown Recycling- If after graduation you would like to donate your graduation gown, the school will be collecting them beginning 6/5/13 in the main office.

TRIMESTER 3 REPORT CARDS

All students’ final report cards of the year will be posted on PowerSchool by noon on Thursday, June 6. I’ll send an email link to you to make it easy to check your child’s performance. Spring MAP scores will be sent home via the gold envelopes you're received in the past. Should you have any questions or need more information, please call the Woodlawn main office at 847-353-8500.
