Broadus
Wood Family Update
April -
June 2013
Dear
Broadus Wood Families,
This
is the final edition of enhanced communication from Mrs. King about programs,
initiatives, and updates at our school for the 2012-2013 school year. The information contained herein can also be
found on our school’s website under Principal’s Message and will also be emailed
to families. You 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 School Year
Redistricting: At
the School Board meeting last month, it was decided that the number of students
being redistricted to Broadus Wood next school year from Agnor-Hurt Elementary
School. We are estimating that about 35
new students will enroll living in the neighborhoods along Woodlands and
Earlysville Roads. We are pleased to
welcome all children and their families who will be joining us next school
year! Broadus Wood staff and PTO are
well prepared to make the transition smooth for everyone involved.
