MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Woodsdale Families,
As we celebrate graduation weekend, everyone at Woodsdale Elementary would like to congratulate all of our graduating seniors on this incredible accomplishment! We are so proud of all you have achieved and the hard work that brought you to this milestone.
As you take your next steps, whether it be college, career, military service, or new adventures ahead, we wish you nothing but success, happiness, and exciting opportunities. Once a Woodsdale student, always a part of the Woodsdale family.
Good luck, Class of 2026 — we are cheering you on
Melanie Savicke, Principal
MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE:
Fourth Grade Celebration:
As part of the Grade 4 Celebration on June 10, 2026, an ice cream truck will be available for students to enjoy. Allergy-friendly options will also be provided to help ensure all students can safely participate in the celebration.
End of year medicine pick up:
In Preparation for the closing of the Health Room/Nurse Office at the end of the school 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 me at debraambrose@abingtonps.org
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe and healthy.
Debra Ambrose
S.O.A.Ring STUDENTS : Giovanni Johnson, Zachary Burt, Nolan Giannini
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.
