Woodside High School Newsletter www.woodsidehs.org

Communicat is published as a courtesy of the Woodside High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)

Dear WHS families:

I enjoyed back to school night, and if you missed it,

I have a suggestion from a campus committee to sit

side-by-side with your student at the computer and

clicking on each teacher’s School Loop portal as a way

to have your student “walk” you through his/her school

day. If you are concerned now with a lack of progress

reflected on your student’s report card, reach out to the

teachers now. The district expectation is that teachers post homework on School

Loop, and that grades are updated at each progress report deadline and quarter’s

end for a total of eight times per year or every four weeks. Many teachers update

far more regularly than that. Check pages deeper in this newsletter for all the after

-school assistance available for your student.

I am looking forward to cooler mornings, Homecoming

floats, the WHS Foundation’s annual campaign, our annual

College Day, and end of daylight savings time on Sunday,

November 6th. Your student is busy as first quarter ends in

mid-October (Fri, Oct 21), and it’s not too far ahead to rec-

ord finals dates on your household calendar; the semester

ends in December, and students sit for finals before winter

break, December 16 – 21 (Fri, Mon, Tue, Wed). We do not give early finals, so

book and re-check your winter break plans accordingly.

Over a year and half, we have gathered on-campus data on student stress and abil-

ity to sleep, complete homework, and engage in activities (both on and off campus)

through our 8 conditions of Student Success sur-

veys. This fall, we have a 10-person team of

students, parents, staff, and an administrator par-

ticipating in the Challenge Success conference at

Stanford about redefining success for students.

In that vein, the first two WHS parent education

nights have been about balancing demands on our teens – first, the use of student

screen time in late September and second, exploring colleges that change lives

(Wed, Oct 26). Hope to see you at these events.

From Principal

Diane Burbank

2 October 2016 Communicat

Estimadas familias de WHS:

Disfruté la roche de regreso a la escuela, y si

usted no asistió, tengo una sugerencia de un

comité de la escue-

la para sentarse al lado de su estudiante frente a

la computadora y hacer clic en cada uno de sus

maestros en el portal de School Loop como una

manera de hacer que su estudiante lo “camine” a través de su día en la es-

cuela. Si usted está preocupado ahora con el bajo rendimiento de su estu-

diante en el reporte de calificaciones, comuníquese con sus maestros ahora.

La expectativa del distrito es que los maestros publiquen la tarea en School

Loop, y que las calificaciones estén actualizadas en la fecha límite de cada

reporte de progreso y al final de los cuartos, para un total de ocho veces

por año o cada cuatro semanas. Muchos maestros las actualizan con más

regularidad que eso. Revise las páginas de este boletín con más profundidad

para enterarse de toda la asistencia disponible

para su estudiante después de escuela.

Espero con interés mañanas frías, el evento

“Homecoming” flota, la campaña anual de la

Fundación de WHS, nuestr Día de Colegio

anual, y el cambio de horario el domingo 6 de

noviembre. Su estudiante está ocupado ya que el

1er cuarto termina a mediados de octubre

(viernes, 21 de oct.), y no están demasiado lejos las fechas de los exámenes

finales para que las marque en su calendario del hogar; el semestre termina

en diciembre, y los estudiantes harán los exámenes finales antes de las va-

caciones de invierno, en diciembre 16-21 (vier, lun, mar, y mier). No vamos

a dar exámenes finales antes, por favor compra y re revisa sus planes de

acuerdo con las vacaciones.

Hace más de un año y medio, nosotros reunimos datos en la escuela sobre

el estrés del estudiante y la habilidad para dormir, completar tarea y partici-

par en actividades (dentro y fuera de la escuela) a través de una encuesta de

nuestras 8 Condiciones para el Éxito del Estudiante. Este otoño, tenemos un

equipo de 10 personas formado por estudiantes, padres, personal y un admi-

nistrador participando en la conferencia The Challenge Success en Stanford

acerca de la redefinición del éxito para los estudiantes. En ese sentido, las

primeras dos noches educativas para padres de WHS son acerca de balan-

cear las demandas de nuestros adolescentes- la primera, el tiempo que el

estudiante usa la pantalla, a finales de septiembre y la segunda, explorando

las universidades que cambian las vidas ( mier, 26 de oct). Espero verlos en

esos eventos.

Athletics Corner

Woodside will soon be enjoying a host of new facilities, including a

new track, softball fields, a STEM Building, and a revitalized Bradley

Field and stadium. However, these improvements have not come

without sacrifice and patience from a number of our athletic teams.

Our softball teams were displaced for the last week and a half of their

season in the Spring, and this Fall the tennis team has battled isola-

tion and dusty courts as the field revitalization and STEM Building begins to take shape. However, no program has sac-

rificed more than our football teams, who were displaced from their field for the entire summer, and during the week

and a half of double sessions hopped on a bus to practice at Sequoia, arriving back at Woodside after 11pm. The foot-

ball gods have smiled on our Varsity for their selfless behavior, as their season has begun with three straight wins, in-

cluding a victory over Hillsdale, a CCS finalist last year.

Please welcome new coaches to our fall sports, Rebecca Wheeler for Girls Tennis, Shelbie Higginson for Boys Varsity

Water Polo (Shelbie coached JV last year), Joe Reich for Frosh Volleyball, and David Hartford and Kelsey Theriault on

campus assistants for Cross Country with their fellow social studies colleague, veteran coach Pablo Aguilera.

A very big THANK YOU to our amazing Athletic Boosters Organization that raised more than $20,000 through fall

team donations, thank you President Eric McCrystal and all the members of that organization who work so hard to make

sure our teams have the proper equipment and uniforms.

Let’s have a great 2016-17 - go ‘Cats!!!!
