Principal’s Message:

Dear Woodward Families,

Happy New Year!!! We hope that everyone

had a wonderful holiday with their families

and friends. As we enter the new year, many

make resolutions to improve in an area.

Our resolution to you is to “ up our game” in

our service to you and your child. The reason

we are, is to serve you and your family.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity.

Sincerely,

Dr. Carla F. Cunigan

You can pick up germs from the things you do everyday. Wash your hands so you don’t get sick.

Mrs. Warren, School Counselor

Students, please remember to follow

ALL of the school expectations:

1. Be Respectful

2. Be Responsible

3. Be Safe

Our Habit for January is Think Win-Win

School-wide PBIS

Parents, we all know the weather has been changing.

Please REMIND your student(s) to keep their coats on

during outside time (recess).

When the temperature is above freezing (32 degrees),

your child will likely be outside for at least 30 minutes

daily for recess. Several students have to be reminded

to keep their coats on. Please support our efforts in

keeping your child warm and safe.

Thanks for your support!

Nurse Notes

Ms. Dena Bashiti, School Nurse

Our school store is a behavior incentive we have here at

Woodward. If students have 5 purple days in a row or 95% or

higher on Dojo for the week, they are able to shop. The store is

open on Fridays during lunch. Students are excited about the

items that they are receiving from the store.

Donations and parent volunteers are needed in order to sustain

the store as a valid incentive for our students. Please keep the

store in mind as you clean and shop. Donations can be made to

any SW-PBS member or taken directly to the store on Friday.

Thank You for all you do.

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold) and apply soap.

2. Rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub them well; be sure to

scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.

3. Continue rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer?

Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.

4. Rinse your hands well under running water.

5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

Mr. Von Smith, FCS

All Woodward Parents and Guardians, We deeply appreciate all of your participation this 2019-2020 school year. As we look forward to even more connection, communication, and collaboration in action, please know every minute that you invest of time is welcome. If you have not yet completed a SLPS volunteer application, there is still time. If you have not attended a CIA or PAC Parents meeting, or chaperone a field trip, there will be time in 2020. Your concerns, input and voice is necessary in helping our students succeed both in attendance and academically this school year. Again, thanks for being an involved, concerned, and committed asset to our school of learners and achievers - by being a great parent! Von. D. Smith SLPS-FCS
