Hello Families,

We are continuing to get closer and closer to June, which means events, events, and more events! We encourage you to check out all of the information below so you can stay informed and make sure your child—and possibly you—can enjoy these special moments as we wrap up the school year.

We truly appreciate your partnership and support throughout the year. Thank you for staying connected with us—let’s finish strong together!

Coming up this month — mark your calendars:

WUE Cereal Drive
As the school year ends, many local families lose access to school meal programs. To help bridge this “summer gap,” the Warrior Charity Club and Woodhaven Kiwanis are launching our 2nd Annual Summer Cereal Drive to support local pantries with kid-friendly nutrition.

Collection Period: May 18–May 29

Location: Students should bring donations to their Homeroom

Goal: 500+ boxes to help combat local childhood food insecurity

The Homeroom with the most donations will win an ice cream party, and the House with the most donations will win the May WUE Cup!

Memorial Day Schedule
Half Day: May 22 (11:30 AM dismissal)
No School: May 25

6th Grade Farewell Pancakes and Raffle Event
Each 6th Grade House will host a farewell event in June. During this event, students will enjoy pancakes and have the opportunity to win raffle prizes.

This event is for students only, but if you are a parent interested in volunteering, we would love to have your help. Please sign up here:

Dates:
Houses F and G — June 2
Houses E and H — June 5

Battle of the Houses
The last two days at WUE (June 9 and 10) will be our Battle of the Houses competition!

To make this event the best it can be, we need your help. We are looking for 20 volunteers for each day, so if you are available to help us celebrate the final days of the school year, we would love to have you join us.

To volunteer, you must have an iChat on file with the Main Office. If you do not currently have one, please call the school after signing up for the steps to complete it.

Thank you in advance—we hope to see you at our Battle of the Houses competitions!

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.

WATCH THE DROP OFF AND PICK UP TUTORIAL VIDEO HERE!

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!
