Mark your calendars now for our upcoming Popscicle Playdates!!! We are excited to see some familiar faces and new ones too!

Can you believe summer break is halfway over?! Join us in the community at either the Royal Farms parking lot at 1:15 pm or the Bruster's Ice Cream parking lot at 1:45 pm on Wednesday, July 23, to help you get through the next few weeks of summer break. Every child will leave with great giveaways from our community partners. If you have a book to donate, feel free to bring it so someone else can enjoy it.

Save the Date: August 21st from 5-7:30 pm for our Back to School Night/Block Party!

This will be a combined event where you will meet the teacher, visit the room, learn important information about the school year, and have fun!

Dear Woodside Families,

We hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer! As we gear up for the new school year, we have two exciting opportunities for our students and families in early August:

🎨 Calling All WES Artists!
We are looking to brighten up our front office with student artwork!
If your child would like to have their art on display, they can simply create a piece and bring it to the school by August 7, 2025.
Our staff will take care of the rest—no framing or special materials needed!

🍦 Popsicle Playdates
Come join us for a cool treat and a chance to connect with other Woodside families on the school playground:

Tuesday, August 5th from 2–3 PM

Thursday, August 7th from 3–4 PM

All students and families are welcome! It’s a fun way to catch up with familiar faces and meet new friends.
Please note: Parents must accompany their child.
