MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Woodsdale Families,
At Woodsdale, the students are working on “S.O.A.Ring”, our first core value in SOAR is “Supportive.” Being supportive means students help create a caring and safe school community. Supportive students look out for one another, use kind words, include others, and ask for help when they need it. They celebrate classmates' successes, offer encouragement, and treat everyone with respect.
By being supportive, our students help make Woodsdale a place where everyone can learn, grow, and feel they belong.
Melanie Savicke, Principal
MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a reminder that all 4th-grade students are required to have a current physical exam on file before they enter middle school in the fall. The physical must be dated September 2023 or later to meet school health requirements.
If your child has already had a physical within this time frame, please send a copy to the school nurse as soon as possible. If not, please schedule an appointment with your child’s healthcare provider and submit the completed physical form once it is available.
Having an up-to-date physical on file helps us make sure all students are healthy and ready for a successful transition to middle school. If you have any questions or need help getting the required paperwork, please contact the school nurse.
Thank you for your cooperation.

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.
