MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL  

Dear Woodsdale Families,  

At Woodsdale this week, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit every classroom to read with our students and introduce our new school motto, “Woodsdale Owls: Together we S.O.A.R”, along with our newly selected SOAR characteristics!  

A few weeks ago, our students participated in voting for the characteristics they felt best represent what it means to SOAR at Woodsdale. By giving them a voice in this process, we hope they will take pride in and truly embody these values each and every day. 

I’ve included our new SOAR graphic below—these words reflect who we are as a community and who we strive to be together at Woodsdale!

 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.  

COMMUNICATION – ROOMS  

APS is now using Rooms for 2-way communication between our schools/classrooms and families. Please download the Abington PS app to join the conversation. More information about Rooms, including links to download our app can be found here: https://www.abingtonps.org/o/aps/page/rooms-1-pager
