JUNE EVENTS

ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

We are committed to our goal of every student being in the classroom and ready to learn every day! Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. 

Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.

The Warrior Charity Club is a new opportunity for students at WUE to get involved in giving back to the community run by Mrs. McCollum. Open to all students, the club partners with local organizations like the Woodhaven Kiwanis Club to complete service projects throughout the year. Our goal is to make a positive impact by doing projects every 1-2 months. If your child is interested in joining, they can sign up to receive updates and notifications by filling out this Google Form. 

Encourage your student to get involved and help make a difference!

COUNSELING & SOCIAL WORK CORNER

Welcome to Woodhaven Upper Elementary! We are excited to be your child’s counseling team this year. We were both previously School Counselors at Patrick Henry Middle School and are excited for this new adventure.

Additionally, we both have 5th grade students at home with us so we understand the developmental stage of this age group. While we work closely together, we will be splitting students alphabetically.

Mrs. Klaas - Last Names A - K
Mrs. Kanagawa - Last Names L - Z
Mrs. Shockley works at the front of the counseling office as our Counseling/Attendance Administrative Assistant.

If you have any attendance questions, she will be your contact.

DOP STOP

The main goals for the WUE Parking Lot are to: ensure all students and drivers are safe and protected as they are dropping off and picking up and that we can get vehicles in and out as quickly and safely as possible.

In order to obtain those goals we need everyone to be on the same page and do their part. If we all work together and follow the information below we can make sure the mornings and afternoons are as stress free as possible. Thank you for doing your part!

If you are in need of before or after school care, please reach out to April at: astandish@discoverchampions.com
