An Evening in the Garden
Wed., April 22; 5-7pm; School Garden
Calling all Woodside Gardeners! Our Spring garden event, "An Evening in the Garden" will take place on Wednesday, April 22nd. Similar to years past, our focus for this event will be the sale of garden plants and for that we need YOU!  If you are an avid gardener that starts seedlings this time of year for planting in the Spring, please consider adding some extras to donate to this event.  If you are not an avid gardener, but know someone who is, please ask if they would be willing to growing some extra seedlings for a good cause. More to come on the event as we get closer to Spring! Interested in helping? Contact Jessica McBride.

Due to the ongoing construction on campus, the area around the former Kinder/TK building will be fenced off for safety purposes. We apologize for the inconvenience but we're working to create beautiful and safe TK and Kinder classrooms for our staff and students! Superintendent Frank will provide facility and construction updates throughout the school year.

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. 

No E-Bikes & E-Scooters On Campus
This is a reminder that e-bikes, e-scooters or any electric vehicles are NOT allowed on the school campus AT ANY TIME. Have questions? We encourage families to attend the  WES Admin Talks on Tuesday, Sept. 2 evening at 6pm in the school library regarding E-bike education and safety. Info HERE.
