MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Woodsdale Families,

As we come to the close of another incredible school year, I want to extend my heartfelt

thanks to all of our Woodsdale families. Thank you for your partnership, support, and

the many positive conversations we shared throughout the year. It has been a privilege

to work alongside you and an honor to be entrusted with the care and education of your

children each day.

I would also like to offer a special thank you to our PTO. Their dedication, generosity,

and countless volunteer hours helped make so many memorable experiences possible

for our students and staff this year. From family events and fundraisers to classroom

support and special activities, their contributions have made a lasting impact on our

school community.

Finally, I want to recognize our amazing Woodsdale staff. Every day, they bring passion,

patience, and commitment to their work. Through their efforts, our students have grown

academically, socially, and emotionally. Their dedication to helping every child succeed

is truly remarkable, and I am grateful for all they do.

Thank you for the wonderful year. I hope you and your family have a safe, relaxing, and

enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall as we

continue to learn, grow, and SOAR together!

Melanie Savicke, Principal

year, we’re asking all parents and guardians of students with medication at

school—including EpiPens, inhalers, and daily prescription medications—to please

make arrangements for an adult to pick up these items on the last day of school,

June 18, 2026. 

Any medication not picked up by an adult will be safely destroyed on June 19,

2026, in accordance with school health guidelines. These medications will not be

returned to or sent home with the student. 

To schedule a pickup time please contact me at 781-982-2180 extension 4327 or email

LOST AND FOUND

Over the course of the year, we have collected many lost and found items. Over the next

few weeks, these items will be available for families to look through during school

events where parents and caregivers are in attendance. Please be sure to check the

lost and found when it is available — any unclaimed items remaining after June 18th will

be donated. 

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
