👋 Hello Woods Families,

While week 9 was short and sweet, the kids were busy, busy, busy! There was so much learning, preparing, and rehearsing for all the fall fun to come. 🍁


🎃 School Happenings

Trunk or Treat:

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and hosted the WPTG Trunk or Treat! So many creative trunks and so much fun — it was a wonderful community event.

Middle School Fun Night:

Middle Schoolers enjoyed their first “dance” of the year — a Halloween Fun Night filled with dancing, games, and laughter. Thanks to our Middle School Teachers and Student Council for hosting such a great evening!


📢 Important Announcements

🚫 No Aftercare:

There will be no Aftercare services on Thursday, November 13th.

📸 Absentee & Picture Retake Day:

Mark your calendars for Monday, November 10th. If a retake is needed, please let your teacher know so your child can be sent for pictures.

Please return the original picture package to the photographer at that time — the same package will be reordered with the new image. (New packages will not be received unless the original package is returned.)

🎄 Woods School Float:

Thanks to everyone who’s reached out to help with this year’s float! If you haven’t yet but would like to join, it’s not too late — email Mrs. Hoselton at thoselton@woodsschool.com.

Stay tuned next week for the date of our first planning meeting!
