● 2020 Fun Run T-Shirts: The PTO is now collecting shirt sizes for the Fall 2020 Fun Run. Woodland PTO will provide every student attending Woodland Elementary and Woodland Intermediate in the Fall a Fun Run t-shirt. When selecting a T-shirt size please keep in mind the Fun Run takes place in October. Your child may grow over the summer. You will need to fill out a separate form for each student. Thank you.

● 2020 Fun Run T-Shirt Design Contest: The PTO 2020 Fun Run Committee

has started the planning process and is looking for students in grades 5K-5 to create a design for the Fun Run t-shirts. The run is scheduled for Friday, October 2nd. Please see the attached form outlining the contest rules for creating a design. Designs are due on Friday, May 8th.

● Counseling Services: This is just a reminder that counseling services are

available to students who may need support during this time of online learning. Please see the attached flyer from our school counselor, Mrs. Karoses, for information regarding support resources.

● Attendance: When you know that your child will not be able to participate in

online learning due to absence or illness, please call the attendance line at 920-730-0924, option 1, as you normally would and leave a message about the length and nature of the absence. Thank you!

● Important As We Approach the End of the Year - Keep Contact Information Up To Date: As we approach the end of the school year, it is very important that we have updated and accurate addresses and contact information in Infinite Campus. Please take a moment to log into your Parent Portal account and ensure all of your contact information—home phone, cell phones and email addresses are all correct and current. Once logged in, from the dropdown menu on the left of the screen, choose “More”. At that point, click on “Family Information”. There you will be able to verify and update phone and email contact information for each individual. Address changes can only be made by the administration office. If you have a new address, please complete the change form and return via email to [email protected] as soon as possible.

● Chromebook and Technology Assistance: Thank you for your patience and support as we transition to the world of online learning. We are “here” in the virtual, online sense of that word, to continue to support your child’s learning and

social-emotional needs. Please reach out to us with questions or concerns. If your child is unsure of how to use an app or Chromebook feature, they should contact their teacher. If you are experiencing an issue with district-owned technology hardware, please contact your child’s teacher and they will inform the proper department for assistance.

● Open Enrollment: The deadline for submitting open enrollment applications has

been extended until May 29th at 4:00 pm. A link to the open enrollment application is available on the Kimberly Area School District website. To obtain more information about open enrollment, please contact Jen Bixler at 423-4166.

A Message From Your School Counselor - Mrs. Karoses

Well, things are certainly different than we are used to. We are facing the challenge of socially distancing ourselves and learning via an online platform. That being said, I know that we can do it and will make it through this time by leaning on each other and doing our best. I want to emphasize that last part, doing our best. That is all we can ask of ourselves; whether we are students, parents, teachers, or staff. Did you know that your students' online education will also include school counseling services? Last week they all had an opportunity to begin their weekly mini Lifeskills lesson online. If you have more than one child in grades 5K-2nd or 3rd-4th, they could have twice the fun and do their Lifeskills together. There is one lesson each week for students in 5K-2nd grade and one for those in 3rd and 4th grade. In the near future I will also be offering some online chats with students and even groups. Remember, each student will need different support from their parents and teachers just like each of us will need different support from our friends and family. Please know that we are here for you. If you have questions regarding the lessons your teachers are posting, please reach out to them. If you or your child need to talk about coping and taking care of ourselves during this social distancing time period, please reach out to your teacher or me as well. Below you will find the ways to contact me. Keep your heads up and we will get through this!
