“An Environment Where We Can All Grow Together”

March 8, 2013

Dear Woodview Parents and Guardians,

I am very concerned about the safety of our students outside during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal.

Just recently I have been alerted to parents stopping cars on the streets near our school to let children out. Please

use our main parking lot. We have numerous spaces that would be an alternative to driving through our

supervised drop off lane. The parking spaces on the side of our building are reserved for staff. Please do not use

these spaces during arrival or dismissal. On several occasions parents have interfered with our buses and day care

vans that must use that entrance. I will be enlisting the staff and the Grayslake Police to enforce safety during

those times.

Spring is right around the corner, but students still go out for recess and enjoy playing in the snow. In order to play

on the playground, the children must wear all “5 points”. That means snow pants, boots, winter coat, hat, gloves/

mittens. The blacktop provides an area for students to play who are not dressed for the snow or wet conditions.

We will be outside for recess unless the wind chill is 0 degrees or below. Please plan accordingly.

On Thursday of this week we focused on fitness and making healthy choices. Our Jump Rope for Heart event

raised much excitement and money for the American Heart Association! Students jumped rope with classmates in

a variety of ways while keeping others in mind. We are proud of our students working to make a difference for a

great cause. A special thanks to Mr. Mulvaney and many parent volunteers who helped facilitate healthy snacks

during the event. Thanks to all of you for donating to support our efforts.

Our Wellness Night was a huge success. We had many Woodview families and staff members come and

participate. A healthy mind and body leads to much success. The event included yoga and stress reduction

techniques, the use of fitness equipment and healthy alternatives to sugary drinks. We hope you were able to

learn new ideas and take some valuable resources with you. A special thanks goes out to Mr. Feldman and Mrs.

Isaacs for organizing this amazing evening.

I wish to share another reminder about how important it is to be at school and on time each day. There is so much

learning going on here at Woodview and we hate for you to miss a single minute. Plenty of sleep and a good

morning routine will help to start the day of right.

Have a healthy weekend!

Sincerely,

Cathy Santelle

NEWS FROM THE PTO

Dear Woodview Friends,

Together with our parent community, our PTO Board has had a tremendously satisfying and

successful 2012-2013 school year, having hosted several family events and fundraisers that

enabled us to purchase five SMART Boards for Woodview classrooms, a sound system for the Music department, many library books, as well as to provide funding for Exploration Day,

field trips, and several fine arts assemblies, plus many, many classroom supplies and materials for our teachers and kids. Together, we are a community of parents that gets

things done and makes a difference in our school!

Now, the Woodview PTO is looking ahead to next year, and we want to include you. Several PTO Board positions will be open, and we'd love to fill them soon, to ensure a smooth

transition and to be able to continue to provide these "extras" for our families, teachers, and children. The following positions are open:

President

Secretary

Ways and Means (2 positions available)

We wish to continue the good work with a new group of parents who want to be a part of the great things our PTO does! Please contact us if you're interested in learning more about any

of the positions.

Thank you!

Your Woodview PTO Board Krista Bean, President Elizabeth Corripio, Vice President

Planning is underway for Exploration Day 2013! It's a day like no other for Woodview students, filled with exploring, learning, discovering and having fun. The students will choose from over 20 hands-on presentations and move about the school experiencing the interactive and interesting topics.

HELP WANTED!

Exploration Day is simply not possible without the help of volunteers. It takes more than 100 volunteers to make this wonderful day the success that it always is. Though we already have many exciting presentations lined up, we are in need of several more. Do you have an interest in something unique? Do you have a hobby or career that you think our students would be interested in learning more about? Or, maybe you are just able to help out and present one of the suggested ideas below. These are suggestions only - if you have a different idea, please let us know – we are open to any new ideas!

Science Experiments Multicultural Arts Arts & Crafts Smoothies/Afterschool Snacks Tumbling Camping Skills Kite Making Jewelry Making Origami Carpentry Magic Technology ***Additionally, we are looking for help with scheduling the students for their Exploration Day sessions. This is a job that can be done on your computer from home. We will provide the program which does require Microsoft Access. We have easy to follow instructions that accompany the program. This is a very important component of Exploration Day, so please contact me if you would like to learn more! Exploration Day 2013 is scheduled for Friday, May 10th. The day begins and ends with a special ceremony, and is broken up into five, 40-minute sessions that consist of approximately 15-25 students each. If you would be willing to present at Exploration Day, please return this form to school as soon as possible. We will get in touch with you to assist you with planning. If you are not interested in presenting, but would like to volunteer in other areas on Exploration Day, information about that will be sent out in the next few weeks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NAME_____________________________________________________________________________ PHONE/E-MAIL____________________________________________________________________ STUDENT’S NAME/TEACHER_______________________________________________________________

Flu Season and School

To help keep flu outbreaks to a minimum, we are asking that all students and families follow these simple steps:

1. PLEASE keep sick children home from school until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication, such as

Tylenol or Ibuprofen. (fever = 99.5 degrees or above) and their cough is gone!

2. Teach your children to COVER THEIR COUGHS and wash hands often. Hand sanitizers are also effective.

3. The CDC recommends that all school-age children receive flu vaccinations. Seasonal flu vaccines are available

now!

4. Prepare in advance. Have alternative childcare available if you cannot stay home or pick up your sick child at

school. SICK students cannot remain at school!

5. PLEASE report your child’s absence to school and tell us the symptoms. (Just saying “sick” doesn’t help us track

illnesses)

6. Make sure we have current phone numbers to reach you and your emergency contacts.

Thanks to all who have placed Market Day orders so far this year. By enjoying the deli-cious and convenient food that Market Day offers, you are supporting our school. Watch for a new flyer to come home soon! Visit www.marketday.com Questions? contact Megan Wright at [email protected] or Cheryl Wilgen at [email protected].

Clip & save Tyson Project A+ labels.

Turn in the labels to school. Your

school redeems them for cash. Each

label is worth $.26.

Here is another way to earn money for

Woodview. Simply clip the Box Tops

from your favorite General Mills

products and send them to school with

your child!

Chef Tony says, “The snow

is flying—Market Day has

some delicious dinner

options that will warm you

from the inside!”

Did you know that Woodview

collects Campbell’s soup labels? The

labels are worth points and must have

the UPC code in order to be used. The

points can be redeemed for books, gym

equipment, and other items for our

school. Each teacher has a box in the

classroom to collect labels and box tops!
