The PTA’s primary fundraiser is coming up October 8-23! During this direct appeal, the PTA hopes to raise the vast majority of the budget for this school year.

Our goal is to raise $232,000, which amounts to $525 per student. This is a suggested donation and contributions of ANY amount are accepted. We know some families will not be able to give at this time, and some may be able to give more. 

Donations can be paid in monthly installments Contributions are 100% tax deductible

Double your donation with corporate matching!

MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING A LINK TO DONATE COMING SOON.

See flier for more details!

This month's topic will be Answering Your Teams and Seesaw Questions.

The West Woodland Choir Committee and Director welcome all new and returning students to join the school choir! There are two choirs, divided by age:

The Cub choir is for Kindergarteners through second-graders and Starts Tuesday,  Oct. 13 (8:00 a.m. or TBD)

The Wildcat choir is for third through fifth-graders and Starts Wednesday, Oct. 14 (8:00 a.m. or TBD)
 
This year the WW Choir program will begin the year completely online. However, as we did last spring, we can still do music together in a fun and creative way. We hope you join us!
 

Your classrooms need your HELP! We are still looking for volunteers to fill our Room rep positions for this year.

Typically we have a "Communications Rep" and "Events Rep" and these roles will work a little differently this year, given we will not be celebrating IN the classroom, but both are still crucial roles to our classroom communities this year.

Communication Reps will still be the classroom liaison for school communications for PTA and other non-administration initiated emails; while our Events Reps will work with our Community Engagement Chair to coordinate/ host classroom specific community building events (online student lunch 'meet-ups', creating and sharing classroom contact lists in compliance with FERPA laws, connecting parents to help each other out and share 'tricks of this new online school trade', across-grade pen pals etc).

If you have ANY questions and/or are interested in volunteering in either of these roles, please reach out to Yeechi Chen, our Room Rep Coordinator: wwroomrepcoord@gmail.com.

Also, if you have any suggestions for Community Building events/ activities that work within the constraints of COVID19, please reach out to Community Engagement Chair, Lindsey Clibborn: lindseyclibborn@gmail.com

Classrooms still needing volunteers for one or both positions are: (K) Findlay, Heathcote, York-Jones; (1) Healey, Walters, Skudlarick; (2) King, Hanna, Farbarik, Nelson; (4) Pluger, Hogue, Leth; (5) Langley, Weschler, Williams

To help with obtaining permissions for sharing your information in classroom contact lists, in compliance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act), as well as to expedite completion of our school directory, please be sure you have submitted your response to THIS FORM, which provides the PTA with permission to include your information in lists shared within classrooms and the school community.  

Here at Nutty Squirrel Gelato, we are working on new community events that will bring us together safely while continuing to raise money for our local schools.
 
We are starting a "Family Sundae Kit” special that will run for 1 month starting September 21.

We are pricing the kits at $25 and $5 from each kit will be donated to local schools. Customers will get to decide which school they would like to contribute to, at the time of purchase. Kits can be purchased online for curbside pick-up or at the store.
 
Kits include:
2 pints of gelato - choose your flavors
4 sugar cones
Chocolate Sauce
Brownie
