Great Start!

We have had a wonderful start to the new school year.  Students and teachers have been familiarizing themselves with each other, the school, and expectations for a successful year.  We had a welcome back assembly and even attempted a school-wide selfie!  I hope you are ready for an amazing school year because the fun has begun at Broadus Wood!

School Supplies

 

2014-15 School Supplies: It is with extreme gratitude to announce that the Broadus Wood PTO will purchase school supplies for all of our students.  The supplies will be delivered to classroom teachers prior to the start of school.  I hope you are having an enjoyable summer and we will see you at Open House on Monday, August 18 (4-6pm).

Make-Up Days for 2014-2015 School Year--Still Time to Comment!

The following is from a recent letter from Paul Giaramita with Albemarle County Public Schools:  At its meeting last Thursday evening, the Albemarle County School Board decided to extend the period of time for public comment on the proposed make-up days for the 2014-15 school calendar.  This follows an earlier decision by the Board to consider building in several scheduled inclement weather make-up days in next year's calendar.

Currently, these make-up days would include, in order of priority, January 20, February 16, April 3, 6, and 7, and June 8, and 9.  The April 3rd date is the Friday before spring break and April 6th and 7th are the first two days of the break. The addition of some or any of these days would reduce the possibility of having to extend the school year in 2015. 

The Board is planning to take a vote on these proposed make-up days during their May 8th meeting.  If you would like to provide feedback on the calendar, you have a number of options available to you.  You can attend the regularly scheduled Board meetings on Thursday, April 24th or Thursday, May 8th and sign up for  public comment; you can send a note to the School Board at: 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA 22902 or you can send an e-mail to: schoolboard@k12albemarle.org.

End of Summer is here!

Ten days and counting before summer is over and school is in session. I hope each of you have had an exciting and restful break. How did you spend your summer? I can hardly wait to hear about it. Here is a photo of a new addition to my family that I spent the summer getting to know.

This week teachers and staff members will return to Broadus Wood to prepare for a wonderful year of learning. We have many changes and improvements in store for you. In addition to the new teachers and staff members, we also have a SparkLab and new cafeteria furniture to share. You will be able to meet everyone and see the changes on Open House which is Monday, August 19 4:30-6:30pm. I look forward to seeing you and please enjoy your last week of vacation! Mrs. King
