What a day for our Principal for the Day winner from our PTA Silent Auction! She had a great day with Ms. Iyer making sure this school was running!
Dear Families,

2025-2026 Class Placement and Family Input Form
We are starting to work on our plans for the 2025-2026 school year! Class placements are an essential component of learning and building community. If you have information that you would like us to consider as we determine placements, please share your input by answering a few questions in the attached form. We know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success, and we carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process. Please do not request specific teachers, as this does not take into account the many variables we must take into consideration. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.
Completion of this form is optional. If you would like to provide input, you may use this online form or a hard copy may be sent to the office by May 23rd. This is a hard deadline.
Happy National Principal's Day Mrs. Iyer!
Thursday was National Principal's Day and we loved having the opportunity to celebrate Mrs. Iyer! Mrs. Iyer joined our staff in November and hit the ground running. Thank you Principal Iyer for your commitment to Woodburn. We are excited for the years to come!
Sprinting Through Spring
This week we kicked off 'Sprinting Through Spring, an attendance initiative. Did you know regular attendance is crucial for the academic success of all students? Studies have proven that students with better attendance records perform better in school and are more likely to graduate high school on time! Attending school even if your student arrives late is valuable to support their success.
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow. We All Belong Here!
In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters. If your student is having a hard time finishing the year strong and attending school, please contact a trusted adult at our school — a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Visit FCPS’ website for more attendance resources.
Our the lunch staff are our Superheros! Thank you for all you do to get food into the hands of our Wildcats daily. We appreciate you!
SOL Testing is upon us! The remainder of our SOL's will begin next week on April 30 and take place for three weeks in May. Visit our student testing page to view the upcoming SOL schedule and learn about ways your student can prepare for the upcoming SOL window!
