Middle School Bible Study
Jason Mendoza, Director of Youth Ministries will be teaching a Bible Study 3 weeks in February on top questions that students have about God. The Bible Study will be held in the Church Parlor from 7:15-7:50am and is open to all Woodland School Middle School Students. Feel free to bring your Bible and if you don’t have one, we have plenty!
Give One! Give All! Items Big or Small!
The auction committee is busy securing great items for the upcoming Blue Moon Parent party, but we need YOUR help! Our goal is to have each family donate one item! We need everything from gift certificates to vacation homes! Everything is appreciated and there is no need to spend any money. Just think about your daily activities and people you know that
have services or items available and ask!! Make sure they know it's great advertising. Their name will be in the auction booklet for approximately 360 families to see. Plus it's tax deductible!! How easy is that?!
Remember, auction forms are available at this link, in the office, and came home with your ticket order form. Please turn forms and items in to Nancy in the office by February 1st to be included in the auction booklet.Thanks in advance for your help! Remember, classes with the most donations in ECC, lower, and middle school (one winning class per section) will get a prize day! Any questions contact me! mgdattel@aol.com

Inclement Weather Policy
Woodland Presbyterian School may close due to inclement weather or hazardous driving conditions. WPS follows the Memphis City Schools’ closing policy for inclement weather at the start of the school day, unless otherwise notified. In most cases, local television channels will be notified if Woodland is closed in time for the 6:00 a.m. news.
If inclement weather develops after the school day is in session, Woodland administration will make a determination regarding school closing based on the most up-to-date, official forecasts. A notice of the closing and dismissal time will be posted on the school website and/or an email will be sent to parents if it is decided to close during the school day.
If school is dismissed during the school day, please pick your child up at his normal dismissal point at the announced time. School personnel will remain on campus until all students are picked up, but parents should be sensitive to the need for school staff to travel safely home as well by picking your child up as soon as possible.
In the event of a school closure, any tests, projects, or assignments with an assigned date for the day or days missed will be due on the first day back at school. If school closes during the day, students in upper grades are advised to take their books home in case of a multi-day school closure. They should check the school website and email for possible homework assignments. If the school closure is known ahead of time, students should bring home all books.
Whether school is closed for the full day or is closed during the day, all after school-related activities are canceled (After School Care, athletics, drama, meeting, etc.).
Parents are always asked to use their own discretion regarding travel in their own areas, even if school is not closed. Absences of students who cannot come to school due to unsafe driving conditions will be excused.
Uniform Jackets
These fall mornings are getting chilly, and if you have not already done so, you may need to order a fleece jacket for your student. Due to some quality control issues, the Woodland Spirit Shop will no longer stock the jackets, so please visit the Lands’ End website at www.landsend.com/school or click on this link www.tinyurl.com/wpsjacket to order.
Just a reminder that the logo’d fleece jacket is the only approved dress code jacket for student wear in class (for students in grades SK-8). Other outerwear may be worn to school but not in class. Please be sure to put your child’s name in his or her jacket—we really can’t stress that enough.
Have an early meeting, flight, or just want to get a head start on your day?
Woodland is now offering the convenience of Early Drop-Off between 7:00-7:15 a.m. at a cost of $3.00 per day. The lower door (southeast side) of the gym will be open during those times for drop-off of students if needed. At 7:15 the door will be locked and students will not be admitted until 7:30 when the doors open for regular arrival. Accounts will be billed monthly. It is not necessary to sign up in advance for this service.
