Happy Principal Appreciation Month to our amazing Mrs. Wallace!

At Woodhill Elementary, we are so lucky to have a principal who leads with heart, shows up for her students and staff, and pours so much of herself into making our school the best it can be!

From cheering on our students and supporting our staff to keeping the Hive moving forward, Mrs. Wallace makes a difference in countless ways every single day. And of course, we know she does it all with a little coffee, a good book, some salsa and tortilla chips, her favorite music, and plenty of love for her family and furry friends!

Mrs. Wallace, thank you for your leadership, your dedication, your laughter, and your love for the Woodhill family. We appreciate all that you do to help our Hive shine!

At Woodhill Elementary, safety is always a top priority! This week, we recognize and thank our amazing school bus drivers for the important role they play in getting our students to and from school safely each day.

We also encourage our students, families, and community members to do their part by following bus safety rules, staying alert around school buses, and remembering that when the bus stops we do too!

Good evening Woodhill families,

My sincerest apologies for the delay in getting the weekly message out to you.

Buenas tardes, familias de Woodhill:

Les ofrezco mis más sinceras disculpas por el retraso en el envío de la información semanal.

Este jueves 22 de octubre, las boletas de calificaciones del primer trimestre estarán disponibles en línea. Las escuelas ya no imprimirán boletas de calificaciones para que los estudiantes las lleven a casa. El jueves, los padres de los alumnos de los grados K-12 podrán acceder a dichas boletas a través de la plataforma Infinite Campus. Si no saben qué es Infinite Campus o cómo utilizarlo, por favor visiten el siguiente enlace: https://www.gaston.k12.nc.us/for-parents/infinite-campus.

Bonsoir fanmi Woodhill yo,

Mwen prezante eskiz mwen sensèman pou reta nan voye mizajou chak semèn nan ba nou.

Demen se jou pou elèv ki te absan nan jou yo te pran foto lekòl la ka pran foto yo. Nan kèk semèn, n ap voye echantiyon foto yo bay elèv yo pou yo pote lakay, konsa n ap kapab chwazi epi achte foto ou vle yo.

Jedi sa a, 22 oktòb, bilten nòt pou premye peryòd la ap disponib sou entènèt. Lekòl yo pap enprime bilten nòt sou papye pou bay elèv yo pote lakay ankò. Jedi a, paran elèv ki nan klas K-12 yo ap kapab jwenn aksè ak bilten nòt yo atravè platfòm *Infinite Campus* la. Si ou pa fin konnen kisa *Infinite Campus* ye oswa kijan pou itilize l, tanpri vizite lyen sa a: https://www.gaston.k12.nc.us/for-parents/infinite-campus. Paran ak gadyen yo gen aksè an tan reyèl ak tout enfòmasyon sou prezans ak rezilta akademik elèv la nan *Infinite Campus*; nou ankouraje nou tout anpil pou nou itilize platfòm sa a regilyèman.

Finalman, note dat sa a nan kalandriye nou: se pral *Field Day* (Jounen Aktivite Deyò)! Nou kontan anonse ke *Field Day* ap fèt vandredi 30 oktòb. Elèv klas K-2 yo pral patisipe nan aktivite yo soti 8:30 pou rive 11:30, epi elèv klas 3-5 yo pral sou teren an soti 11:30 pou rive 2:00. Paran yo envite pou yo vini patisipe tou ane sa a.

Pase yon bon moman,
Madam Wallace
