WHAT
ARE FAMILY NIGHTS?
Family Nights are events offered throughout
the school year that provide an opportunity to learn strategies to
help your child
succeed in school. This brochure shares descriptions of this
year’s scheduled Family Nights along with locations and
dates for each event. Registration information will be sent home
with your child three weeks prior to each event with more specific
information, including start times and room locations. Be sure
to sign up ahead of time so that your hosting teachers can be
adequately prepared for the actual number of participants.
A Message from the Superintendent
The Woodbury Public School District has a long tradition of offering
Family Nights to the community. Maybe, over the years, you have
come to a Family Math night at West End School and learned about
math manipulatives. Possibly you have attended a Family Literacy
Night at Evergreen Avenue School and worked at learning stations
that all had a pirate theme before reading a picture book about
pirates with your child.
As we did last year, Woodbury is continuing to open up its Family Night
program to interested families, no matter which of the three elementary
schools your child attends.
My hope is that you and your family will take advantage of these events.
I look forward to seeing you there!
