Elev8 Lacrosse

Elev8 Lacrosse will be at Woodlands School February 3 to 6 and 10. Please ensure your child has returned their permission form by Wednesday, January 29 in order to participate. Students will acquire lacrosse skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement activities in a varied environment while experiencing the health benefits that result from physical activity. ELEV8 Classroom encourages students to interact positively with others while demonstrating etiquette and fair play. Beyond lacrosse, the physical components also focus on skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching, which are fundamental to any sport.

Alberta Education Assurance Survey – Your Voice Matters!

The Alberta Education Assurance Survey is administered each year by Alberta Education to teachers, students and parents. It provides an opportunity to give feedback on what is working well and what challenges exist in education in Alberta. Students respond to 25 questions about their experiences at school related to quality of education, teaching and learning in the areas of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and aspects of a safe, caring and welcoming school. Questions on the survey are accompanied by a scale of responses (e.g., Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, Very Satisfied to Very Dissatisfied, Don’t Know and N/A). Students will complete the online survey during school hours using a link provided by Alberta Education. At Woodlands, our students in Grades 4-6 will participate in the survey in class during the month of February.

Parents of students in Grades 4-6 should expect a mailed letter with survey information, the survey link and a Random Access Code (mailings began around end of January). Parents may also choose to complete the paper survey and return it by mail. Requests for translations to the survey can be made to the email included in the parent package. The results from these surveys are used at the provincial, system and school level to make decisions about school improvement. Please contact the office should you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

S4 Calgary Police School Partnership

Start Smart Stay Safe brings police officers in the classroom to engage with students with strengths-based lessons.

Each class will have a 1 hour visit from Constable Melissa Van Waes before the end of the school year.

Winter Play Day

Our school Winter Play Day will be full of fun and activity for students in Grade 1-6. It will be held on Thursday, February 20 in the afternoon beginning at 1:30 PM (in case of severe weather, we will postpone it to an alternate day). Please be sure that your child is prepared for the active, outside activities:

  • Dress for the weather; wear layers

  • Bring a hearty lunch and snack on this day We would like to provide all students with a hot chocolate (water and mix) as one of the stations on this day. If you prefer for your student not to have the hot chocolate, please communicate this to your child’s teacher. Thanks to all of our students in Grade 5/6 who have demonstrated excellent leadership by working to prepare and host Winter Play Day.

Flex Friday

Flex Friday is a school-wide plan to help students experience feelings of belonging and connection by spending time with another teacher and another group of students.
