    WOOD END ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENT HANDBOOK Wood End Wildcats are responsible, respectful, honest, engaged & safe! Dear Members of the Wood End Elementary School Community, Welcome to the 2020-21 school year, which is certain to be a year filled with changes. This handbook includes helpful information, policies, and procedures about our school. It has been updated to reflect the many changes we have implemented due to COVID-19. It also includes our behavioral expectations for students, which are designed to keep all members of our school community safe and engaged, as well as our core values. At Wood End, our students are responsible, respectful, honest, engaged and safe. We will partner with all our families to ensure a culture of respect, safety, and compassion. It is important that all students feel safe to learn and grow as individuals both academically and socially. The policies and procedures, as outlined in this handbook, are in place to make your elementary school experience a successful one. I look forward to welcoming our students and families in September to begin a new and exciting school year. Thank you in advance for your help in keeping our school a safe and nurturing community for students, families, and staff. Best, Dr. Joanne King Principal Wood End Elementary School’s Mission Statement Wood End Elementary School seeks to create a safe and supportive learning environment. We will work to achieve this aim through the implementation of a tiered support system that promotes clearly defined and consistent student expectations and accountabilities based on our core values, communication and collaboration within our school community, reliance on data for decision making purposes, and an efficient and effective response to the needs of our students who require additional support to be successful.
