Lunch Reminders

We would like to remind parents that the Wood Oaks office does not accept deliveries for lunches from outside vendors. If parents choose to have lunches delivered to their child, please make sure the delivery company has the child's name on the delivery tag and instructions to leave the delivery on the cart found inside Door A. We would also kindly ask that parents remember that Tuesday is not a PTA hot lunch day. Students need to bring their own lunch on Tuesday mornings. Your help with this will reduce confusion and the need for students to miss academic time to eat a late lunch delivery. Thank you for your assistance.

Parent-Teacher Conferences - Next Week

Parent-teacher conferences will take place online on February 11 & 12 through the SchoolCloud platform (formerly Meet the Teacher). Individual registration credentials and a link to the online system were emailed to parents on Tuesday, January 20, at 8:00 AM. The SchoolCloud Portal is open for conference registration and will close today at 4:00 PM. 

You will receive a reminder email with links to your online conferences on February 11. Please remember to allow your device to access both your microphone and camera when logging in to your conference for online meetings. 

To help you prepare for your video conference at Wood Oaks, please log in to your SchoolCloud account a day or two ahead of time so you can run some tests on the device you plan to use. More information and instructions can be found on our website. 

Erin's Law Presentations 

In compliance with State law, a program on child sexual abuse awareness and prevention will be presented to students on February 24. The presentations will be made by members of the Wood Oaks Social Work Department.

The session is being scheduled in response to Erin's Law, a State law requiring that all public schools implement a sexual abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades K-12. For additional information about Erin's Law, please visit www.erinslaw.org.

The presentations will cover the following topics:

• Safe touch, unsafe touch, confusing touches
• Private body parts (parts of the body covered by a bathing suit)
• Good and bad secrets
• Saying "no" to unwanted touches
• Safety steps and reporting

The presentations are designed to empower and educate children in a developmentally appropriate, child-friendly manner. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this program, please email Wood Oaks Principal, Ms. Beake, informing her of your request to have your child excluded before February 23. A confirmation acknowledgment of your request will be sent.
