For families that attended Woodstock last year, you should have received a school supply list for your child’s grade this coming year in the year-end report card envelope. If you did not receive it or need to review it, please see the .
For families that have been a part of our school for the last few years, you may recall that this was an approach we used to help get school supplies to the classroom. For the past two years, we were able to budget for purchasing all school supplies to remove the burden of shopping for school supplies.
Unfortunately, with our recent budget cuts, we are again asking families to help by purchasing school supplies for their children. Last spring when the budget outlook was shared, many families inquired about how/where they can help. By helping by school supplies, this will allow us to focus our resources in other areas to support learning and development.
However, this is not a requirement. If you are unable to purchase supplies for your child, that is ok. If you are experiencing a financial hardship and need assistance, please contact the office, and we can help make sure your child has everything they need for a successful school year.
Also, if your family is in a position to support other students and would like to make a donation, feel free to purchase additional supplies and provide them to your child’s teacher in the fall. If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, please contact Tabitha.

Welcome to Woodstock Elementary! We are excited to have you in our community and we look forward to creating a positive learning experience for all students at Woodstock.
Creating engaging, affirming, and meaningful learning is a blend of expertise and empathy. Teachers will tap into students' curiosity, integrating activities, visuals, and hands-on learning. With the acknowledgment and understanding of each student’s unique assets and learning styles, teachers will affirm their individual identities and build rapport. As their relationship grows, teachers will solidify student learning through creating meaningful connections with relatable and real-world activities.
We’re excited to partner with your family to create a true learning experience that will help all students thrive.
We are honored for this opportunity to work with your child and your family this year. As we move forward, our values of Perseverance, Integrity, Curiosity, and Compassion will remain as the guiding light, as well as our foundation.
Thank you for being a part of the Woodstock School Community!
With Woodstock Pride,
Seth Johnson, Principal

In meteorological terms, èßäapp¹ÙÍø’s first big weather event of 2024 was the definition of a perfect storm. Frigid temperatures and high winds combined with snow and ice to bring down tree limbs, close roads, scramble traffic, freeze pipes, and knock out power for tens of thousands of residents.
It was a metaphorical perfect storm for èßäapp¹ÙÍø as well. Fallen trees cut power to multiple schools and others have suffered water damage from broken pipes. Lack of heat was also a problem, and impassable roads, paired with snowed-in and icy parking lots, made it impossible for buses to run safely. Those same conditions limited how the district’s facilities and operations teams can even assess the scope of the issues, let alone begin working on solutions. And icy sidewalks meant walkers have no safe route to school.
This week could bring similar conditions to the èßäapp¹ÙÍø area, and èßäapp¹ÙÍø’s School Closure Team is ready to meet the challenge. The team convenes regularly during inclement weather to take all of the above into careful consideration. By now, families are quite familiar with how the district communicates these decisions. What’s perhaps less known is how district leaders arrive at such decisions in the first place.
As part of our district's focus on events that center belonging, equity, and inclusion, we have been screening a series of films that we hope will challenge our perceptions about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.
The next film in the series is “Champions,” which will screen on Saturday February 8th at 2:00 PM at Lincoln High School. This event will also include first-hand testimonials from èßäapp¹ÙÍø students.
This movie highlights the journey of a basketball coach who leads a team of players with intellectual disabilities. Through humor and heartfelt moments, the movie emphasizes the strengths, individuality, and value each player brings to the team and how inclusion enriches communities and creates positive, supportive environments.
Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and light refreshment will be provided. We hope to see you there!
We’re thrilled to announce that two èßäapp¹ÙÍø teachers were recently awarded the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST).
Krishnan Ranjani, a teacher of advanced mathematics and Career and Technical Education (CTE) computer systems at Lincoln High School and Nick Nohner, a computer sciences and data sciences teacher at Ida B. Wells High School, were both selected for the honor which is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The award recognizes outstanding educators for their contributions to the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Each awardee will receive a certificate signed by President Joe Biden and a $10,000 award from NSF. Awardees will also travel to Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony at a future date.
Congratulations to these two exceptional teachers!
