Download the app in the App Store or on Google Play.


We are incredibly grateful for the donation and for the support from our community partners who help make Woodside such a great place to learn and grow.
Thank you for celebrating this great news with us!

I wanted to share that we are planning a few special treats for our wonderful teachers next week. Let’s sprinkle a little festive cheer as we wrap up 2025!
We’re hoping to put together:
A snack cart on Tuesday with sweet and salty treats
Donuts on Wednesday to brighten their morning
If any families would like to donate items for these days — or anything special for our teachers on any other day next week — please feel free to drop donations off in the office with me (Ms. Paris).
Thank you so much for your continued support of our teachers and staff. We truly appreciate everything you do to help make Woodside such a warm and caring community!

The Board will also hold a public workshop to discuss information related to the recently released Maryland Report Card results at 6 p.m. on Monday, December 15, 2025, in the Board Room. The Maryland Report Card provides schools across the state with star ratings calculated from a variety of academic, attendance, and curriculum factors.
