Wood Oaks Newsletter: Last day of School, Graduation Gown Distribution

Graduation Gown Distribution

On Saturday, May 16, from 8 AM until 10 AM, parents/guardians of 8th-grade students can pick up their child’s graduation gown and ribbon in front of Wood Oaks. PTA will also be distributing the pre-ordered yard signs. If you are unable to pick up the items at that time, they will be available for pickup at the Wood Oaks office starting May 18. As a reminder, students do not have caps for the June 1st graduation at GBN’s CPA. The graduation ceremony will start promptly at 5 PM. Tickets are not necessary. 

Last Day of School Set for Thursday, June 4

The Board of Education approved the final calendar for the current 2025-2026 school year during its meeting. The last day of school is now set for Thursday, June 4, 2026, due to the use of an emergency day during the winter weather season. (View full calendar)

Student Scratch Accounts: 

As the year wraps up, we wanted to make all Applied Technology students aware that their student accounts will be closed at the end of the school year (June 2nd) because they are intended for school use, not personal use. We are notifying parents because while the District never asks students to create their own accounts, parents or guardians may permit students to create personal Scratch accounts at home. If students do not want to lose their Scratch projects, they should ensure the projects are shared or downloaded (File>Save to your computer) and uploaded into their personal Scratch account (File>Load from your computer) prior to June 5th. If you are interested in helping your student create their own Scratch account, here is the link: https://scratch.mit.edu/join.
