Broadus Wood Family Update

December 2012

Dear Broadus Wood Families,

This is the December edition of enhanced monthly communications from Mrs. King about programs, initiatives, and updates at our school.  The provided information can also be found on our school’s website under the principal’s page and will be sent to your email address, too.  Families will continue to receive school communications in the format of monthly phone calls/emails, quarterly newsletters, Monday Backpack Express, and postings to the school’s website.

Upcoming Changes for the 2013-2014

1.     Redistricting: Albemarle County Public Schools families will have the opportunity to review and comment upon options for the possible redistricting and reconfigurations of some elementary schools in the northern and western portions of the county at a public meeting next week. The meeting will be held on Monday, December 10, at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School meetings at 6:30 p.m. Josh Davis will speak at our King’s Coffee on December 14, 2012.

2.     12^th Annual Golden Apple Awards Ceremony: is for outstanding teachers from our school systems.  These awards are presented to faculty members from the public and private schools in Albemarle County and City of Charlottesville including CATEC. Golden Apple Award is a means of selecting and honoring some of our outstanding teachers. Teachers are most important in nurturing our children’s inquisitive minds and preparing them for the challenges of the future. Nominate a teacher and show your appreciation and support! Nomination forms are available from the local schools or online at www.betterlivingvirginia.com or www.k12albemarle.org
