3195 Woodside Road, Woodside, CA  94062
School Library & Zoom Virtual Meeting

A public hearing will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025 beginning at 6:00 pm in the school library at 3195 Woodside Road, Woodside, CA 94062.  The purpose of this public hearing is to receive public response to the annual certification of instructional materials pursuant to Ed. Code §60119, which states the governing board of each district and county office of education is required to hold an annual public hearing and adopt a resolution stating whether each pupil in the district has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials in specified subjects that are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks adopted by the state board.

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.

2025-26 WESD School Calendar
Find the calendar for the 2025-26 school year below. As always, student attendance is essential, please do not schedule vacations, appointments, etc. on school days. 2025-26 School Calendar 

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. 

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.
