Are lined against the sky.
Standing proud her education,
As the years go by.
We will honor and we’ll love her;
Always carry high her banner.
Hooray for the yellow and the blue!
Refrain:
We will work, play and learn.
We will work, play and learn.
Sons and daughters, she’ll be proud of.
God bless Woodland Park!

Principal’s Message to Parents and Students
Dear Parents and Students:
The faculty, staff and I want to welcome you to Woodland Park. We expect that the school year will be an educational and exciting experience for your child.
Parents/Guardians are a critical part of a successful school and there will be many opportunities for you to become involved. Your assistance and support are absolutely essential for your child’s educational success. Please feel free to discuss your concerns and questions with your child’s teacher or myself. Since instruction time is critical to the success of students, please schedule morning or afternoon conferences by appointment.
To the students, we are excited to have you here. The teachers and I look forward to meeting you and for us to work together to make this a successful year. Let us start off the year with a great attitude and great things will happen.
Please take this handbook and read it carefully so that you will be familiar with the school’s policies and procedures. This information will be of great value to you and will help to keep our school at its best. The faculty and I want our students to have a quality education. We ask your cooperation in working toward our goal of excellence.
Sincerely,
Kim Luna
Principal

School Philosophy
We, the faculty of Woodland Park, believe that we should provide the children with the basic learning skills they will need to function satisfactorily as they advance to the next level of learning and daily life. We aid children in the development of self-help skills, social skills, and attitudes. We attempt to provide enrichment experiences in the cultural areas. We believe the community is responsible for cooperation with the faculty and staff. The community should provide cultural and financial support.
Interpersonal relationships between and among students should promote tolerance of differences as well as cooperation. Feelings, property, and personal well-being should be respected. Mutual respect and a cooperative effort promote a desirable student-staff relationship. Acceptance of differing teaching styles creates positive professional relationships. Teachers should be worthy of the community’s respect and trust.
We strive and expect to instill positive attitudes and encourage the student to accept self-responsibility. We provide a structured environment in which the students can practice good citizenship. These skills and attitudes should enable students to develop into responsible adults.
Note to Parents
Parents are welcomed and encouraged to come and talk with their child’s teachers. Conferences may be arranged through the office for any afternoon, Monday through Friday, between 3:00 and 3:15 p.m. The telephone number is 738-3505. Report cards will be issued one week following the end of each 6 weeks grading period.
You, as a parent, may also be asked to participate in a conference concerning student progress or behavior during the school year. If this is necessary, you will be notified in advance and a convenient time will be set for the conference.
Any accident or illness of a student while at school will be reported to the parent, if needed. However, no student will be sent home unless a responsible adult is there to receive him/her.
The health of a student is important to maintaining effectiveness in schoolwork. Good nutrition, adequate rest, cleanliness, and medical and dental health are essential. Physical examinations are required prior to enrollment in kindergarten, and immunizations, by law, must be kept updated.
Good discipline originates in the home. Since parents are a child’s first teacher, they need to instill in each child good behavior habits and proper attitudes toward school. Only when parents work cooperatively with teachers to solve discipline problems will pupils emerge with self-discipline and a sense of responsibility. Here at Woodland Park, disciplinary action has two purposes:
-
To help children become more mature persons as they move from the dependent role toward a more independent one, and
-
to prevent discipline problems and maintain the order necessary for efficient teaching-learning conditions.
