Woodside School is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community and believes the inclusion of people of diverse race, ethnicity, national origin, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, learning style, physical ability, family structure and socioeconomic background enriches our academic programs and the experience of students, educators, staff and families. While preparing and educating our young people for roles as citizens and leaders in a highly diverse world, we will cultivate understanding and strengthen relationships, appreciating the benefits and rising to the challenge of integrating diversity in all aspects of our school community.

Booing & Booing Train
Top of Page

This year, to make our beloved WES tradition of Booing (surprising friends with little treats at their home, in their backpack, on their car, etc. during October) more inclusive, we’ve created a Google Sheet where you can sign up to be “boo-ed.” Booing is a fun way to spread joy, and we want to be sure every WES student who’d like to participate gets the chance.
 
We’re also organizing Booing Trains—carpools that will head out to neighborhoods further from school—so that students who live a bit farther away can still join the fun. If you and your students (or just your students) would like to be part of a Booing Train, please sign up on the second tab of the Google Sheet below. 
Happy Booing!

Woodside Walks on Wednesdays! 
Meet Katie Johnson, WES mom & WIDC (Woodside Inclusion & Diversity Council) coordinator, every Wednesday after drop off (8:40ish) at The Village Hub for a casual walk & chat. It is a great way to get to know people and embrace our very special WES community. All are welcome!
