May Day 2025 —THANK YOU!
Thank you all for coming out and making the 103rd May Day Festival lively and lovely. The sun smiled upon us, and the Maypole dance this year happened back where it belongs—in the amphitheater. A HUGE thank you to the May Day Committee, who spent months planning, anticipating details, and coordinating for seemingly endless hours. Thank you to the team of teachers and parents who made the 3rd graders' performance a tear-jerker. Thank you to all of our community partners for sharing the load. And to everyone who came out to hang banners, run carnival booths, move tables, answer questions, and participate in the parade, THANK YOU. 

COTY: Congratulations to Jenny Hayden for earning the 2024-25 Citizen of the Year Award. Details HERE. 

PHOTOS: If you have photos or video clips from May Day to share, please upload them here. We want to keep a history of the 103rd May Day.

Sequoia Healthcare District — Healthy Schools Initiative Grants
Each year, the Sequoia Healthcare District’s Healthy School Initiative helps to support school-based health programs for over 28,000 students across 8 school districts in San Mateo County, ours included. The program funds over 60 staff, including wellness coordinators, school nurses, and counselors. Additionally, the initiative trains school staff to support students' emotional health. The Sequoia Healthcare District ensures taxpayers’ dollars are specifically directed to improve the healthcare of the community through coordinated, school-based programs.

The district will graciously donate 3 AEDs (automated external defibrillators) to be installed near our playing fields on campus and available if needed.  Also, read SEQHD's Healthy Schools Initiative (HSI) newsletter to learn how they support our school.

WESD's School Wellness Policy is being worked on by our Wellness Committee. We encourage the general public and school community (including parents, students, and representatives of the school food authority, teachers of physical education, school health professionals, the school board, and school administrators) to participate in the District's wellness policy process. If you would like to provide input, contact Nurse Abbe or Director of Business Hanwool Kim. 

No Dogs on Campus
Please do not bring your dogs to campus at ANYTIME — including after-school sports teams/clubs using the WES field, weekends and summer break. This is a school policy and large signs are posted at the entrances to campus. We have had a significant problem with dog waste on our fields and campus. It is also important to provide a clean and safe environment for our students, especially those with allergies and animal fears. Please use our beautiful Woodside trails to walk your dogs. More information HERE.
