MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Woodsdale families,
I am excited to see all the students run today in the culminating fundraising event, the Wild Dash. All the support we receive from families is much appreciated and allows our PTO to fund events and enrichment throughout the year.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for enrichment this year, please feel free to reach out to the PTO via email at woodsdalepto2@gmail.com. The next PTO meeting is Tuesday, October 7th at 7 pm in the Woodsdale cafeteria.
Melanie Savicke, Principal
CUSTODIAN’ S DAY: We have four fantastic custodians at WES. The students made a sign, and we celebrated them on National Custodian’s Day, October 2nd.
DIMISSAL CHANGES
Just a reminder: if your child’s dismissal plan changes once the school day has begun, please contact the main office directly. Teachers are not always able to check email during the day, and this can lead to miscommunication. Thank you for your cooperation and support in following this policy.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Woodsdale families,
Now that the school year is well underway, this is a great time to remind your child about the importance of appropriate bus behavior. Our bus conduct policies are outlined in the student handbook, which is available in the documents section of our website and linked below for your convenience.
We work in close partnership with our bus drivers to ensure a safe and positive experience for all students. Their primary responsibility is to transport students safely, and student conduct plays an important role in supporting them in that mission.
Please reach out if you have any questions regarding our bus conduct policies.
Melanie Savicke, Principal
WILD DASH
Grade 3: 12:30
Grade 4: 1:30
Students will be running in the Wild Dash on Friday, October 3rd. Students will be running in the back behind the playground in a coned off area. Spectators feel free to line up on the outside of the coned in area keeping in mind to leave room for the students to run.
If you know you will be dismissing your child after the Wild Dash, please let the teacher know ahead of time to help support an efficient and organized dismissal.
