You are invited to attend Parent Teacher Conferences with your student on Wednesday and Thursday, November 13 & 14, anytime between 4-7:30 pm. There will be opportunities to order yearbooks, friendship bags, and Culver’s custard, as well as browse the book fair. Every family that attends can also enter the drawing for a Domino’s Slice the Price pizza card!
Culver’s custard is coming to Woodridge. Students can preorder a dish for delivery during their Lion Time on November 19. And here’s a fun twist: the Lion Time with the most sales will win toppings for their custard! So, if your student is looking to get in on the action, make sure they preorder and help their Lion Time win those yummy toppings. Preorders will be from November 11-15.
Water has overtaken many of the roads in the Northwest School District today. Currently, the Big River is set to crest at 28’ at 6:00 p.m. tonight. We would not have time for the water to recede and for us to have adequate time to check roads before morning buses. Therefore, we are going to have another (Alternative Method of Instruction) AMI day Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024.
Due to the flooding in the area, Woodridge will reschedule the Veteran's Day breakfast for Friday, November 15. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Dear Northwest Families,
We have been monitoring the flooding and watching the forecast of the Big River. Several roads in the district are impassable and the Big River will crest during school hours tomorrow. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) day November 6, 2024.
