WOODLAND INTERMEDIATE

SCHOOL

WEEKLY NOTES

February 14, 2018

The next Woodland spirit day will be held on Friday, February 16th. Wear your Woodland wear or green/gray on spirit day.

Friday, February 16th is an 11:20 am release for intermediate students. The next Woodland PTO meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 20th in the Woodland LMC

at 6:30 pm. The PTO will be giving gift cards to two non-board members who attend. All parents are welcome and free childcare is provided.

Family Fun Night is Friday, March 2nd. Order forms for the basket raffle were sent home with

students last week and a form is also attached. The theme list for each classroom is attached. Please note that photos of baskets are available on the PTO website.

It is soon going to be that time of year when we will be administering the state assessment, the

Forward Exam. Testing will take place during the week of April 16th. As in the past, we ask that families try to avoid testing times for appointments, vacations, etc. as the missed test will then need to be made up during one of our make-up times. Make-up tests will be administered during the week of April 23rd and the week of April 30th. Thank you in advance and please contact your child's teacher with any questions.

The Tundra Tales Reading Program is in full swing and will continue until March 25th. Please

make sure to turn in reading logs for the previous week each Monday to collect a Packers book-mark. Note: If a student is out on Monday when reading logs are due, please email your child’s reading log to their teacher on Monday morning. All students who complete the entire program will receive a voucher to the Packers Hall of Fame. Click here to access the letter outlining de-tails of the program and weekly reading logs. Hard copies are available in the elementary office. Happy Reading!

Please see the attached flyer or visit the KASD website and check out the Community Events

page for more great opportunities and activities for your family.

Winter iChat Sixth grade students will be having their second iChat meeting of the school year during the winter months. As we continue to support our students’ Academic and Career Planning (ACP) development, it is important to remember to highlight those skills that are sometimes overlooked on the report card but are so essential to life success. The skills we are referring to go by many names; soft skills, employability skills, learning habits, and skills for success, to name a few. We will look at what researchers have identified as essential soft skills to have in order to find success in college and/or career. Being a member of the workforce is a few years away for our 6th graders, but the skills that are needed to be a productive member of that workforce can be developed now. During our Winter iChat, we will watch the following video, Soft Skills to Pay the Bills, in order to initiate our discussion on when they currently need these soft skills. Each student will take some time to reflect on their soft skills and identify any areas where they could use some improvement. Parents will receive an email from their child inviting them to review their soft skill goal so that each student receives support from school and home. Be sure to ask your child to share what they talked about during their latest iChat!
