Sample of School Events

This is a parent only event held early in the school year. It is an opportunity for teachers to share their curriculum and classroom expectations. This time is not for individual conferences.
School Hours

Doors open at 8:15
8:25 late bell.
Kindergarten drop off is the door by the flagpole
School Arrival
and Dismissal
For the first couple of weeks of school, parents are encouraged to park and walk their child to the flagpole door if dropping off. There is an option of rolling drop off through the drop off lane, but parents can not get out of the car. The doors open at 8:15. For dismissal, parents must wait outside the front of the school near the kindergarten door. There is no rolling pick up. The doors open at 2:50.
School Absences and Tardies
Please call the school or email using the link found on the newsletter if your child is absent or tardy as soon as possible (no later than 9am). It is essential that we can account for all students. If we cannot account for a child, we are required to contact our Truancy Officer with the Woburn Police Department. When your child will be late to school, escort your child to the main office to sign-in. This allows the student to go directly to class and not miss any more instruction.

Y.E.S Hours
Students who complete 50 hours of community service through their elementary school years are eligible to receive the Youth Engaged in Service (Y.E.S.) award at the end of grade 5. Community service hours can be earned by volunteering. The students and parents are expected to keep track of any hours earned throughout the years.
Clothing
Children should dress appropriately for school. Please keep in mind that they will go outside to play each day, even when it is cold out. There are many things for children to climb on, so sneakers are recommended. Flip flops should not be worn. Please make sure your child is able to fasten any snaps, buttons, or buckles on his/her pants for toileting purposes. It is necessary that your child be self-sufficient in the bathroom.
Birthday Celebrations
Teachers individually celebrate birthdays in the classrooms.
Due to the Woburn Public Schools Wellness Policy
and the possibility of food allergies, there are no
food parties in the classrooms.
Birthday invitations for out of school events may only be
distributed at school if the entire class is included.
Homework
You can expect homework 2 times per week for your child. There will also be monthly family projects.
Communication
Plus Portal
Folders
folders
Folders are used as the main way to communicate between school and home. Please make sure you look in your child’s folder each day. The best communication tool for parents is a note in the folder to your child’s teacher.
Buses
Please know what bus your child will take in September. The routes are placed in the newspaper and on the district website prior to the opening of school in the fall. There are no bus tags or prior sign up needed this year. Your student just needs to be at his/her designated spot at the time listed on the link above.
