Welcome

Dear Woodmore Families, 

Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 School year! We hope that this summer has been enjoyable and full of memorable positive experiences.  The Woodmore staff has taken time to rest, relax, and smile, but we have also been planning, preparing, and training, all with a lens towards providing the best possible educational experience for our students.  Along those lines, our focus this year for staff and students comes straight from the Woodmore Pledge of Respect,  “Expect The Best In All That I Do.”  

The first student day is Monday, August, 26th, 2024.  Prior to that, Orientation Day will be on Friday, August 23rd, using the following schedule:  Last Names A - H @ 9am, I - P @ 9:45am, and Last Names Q - Z @ 10:30am.  Families with students that have different last names are welcome at any of those time slots.  Please remember that Orientation Day is relatively quick and for meeting your child’s teacher, dropping off supplies, and getting comfortable with the classroom.  You will get more information on class expectations, procedures, and instruction during Back-to-School Night.  Orientation is also a great time to walk your child to their classroom.  While there will be many opportunities to visit your child’s classroom, it is important that students are allowed to walk into the building and to their class on their own on the first day of school.   Pre-K and Kindergarten students will all start in the cafeteria.  Staff members and 4th and 5th grade patrols will be helping students find their classes on the first day of school as well.

A few additional dates to take note of:

• Wednesday, August 21st  - Teachers posted in Synergy (Please click HERE for information on creating a Synergy parent account.  It is essential that all families create a Synergy account.)  If you are not able to see your child’s teacher on Synergy, you will be able to get that information at Orientation.  
• Monday, September 2nd - No School (Labor Day)
• Monday, September 9th - Back-to-School Night (More information coming in ClassDojo)

Please see the second page of this letter for additional information that we believe will help ensure a smooth and safe start to the school year.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful summer and we look forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!

Sincerely,

The Woodmore Leadership Team
