I hope that you are enjoying a restful summer.  Our teachers are diligently preparing for the arrival of their students and can’t wait to welcome them back to campus.  Our school theme for the 2026-27 school year is “Anchored for Life".  Hebrews 6:19 says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure...”  We look forward to learning what it means to anchor our life in Christ!

The new school year is fast approaching! I want to take the time to share some important dates and information with you.

Every family must verify and update, as needed, their contact information, emergency contact/pick up persons, and medical information. You should do that through your FACTS family portal by logging in here: FACTS Family Portal Login. If your child will be required to take medication, prescription or over-the-counter, while at school, please review the Medication Policy in the Google folder linked below and return the completed form also located in the Google folder.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, August 17.  Please note that this will be a minimum day (8:15-11:50 am).  The remainder of the week will be the regular schedule.  Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will be 8:15 am - 2:45 pm, and Wednesday will be 8:15 am-2:00 pm.

Boosters is a parent-run club that provides assistance to all of the WC schools, from preschool to high school.  By raising funds for the school through memberships, WC clothing sales, and Booster-sponsored events, Boosters has assisted or covered all expenses for different items and/or needs for the school, such as items for the music department, athletic department, the school facilities, the elementary learning center, and many other extracurricular items.  Please consider joining Boosters to help improve Woodland Christian School for our children.  Boosters representatives will be available at upcoming orientations and welcome-back-to-school events.  You can also contact the Boosters president, Anita Morse, by emailing boosters@wcs-k12.org.

Below, you will find a link to a folder that contains several important documents that will ensure your student has a successful 2026-2027 school year.  These documents include the 2026-2027 School Calendar, 2026-2027 Elementary Dress Code, 2026-2027 Elementary Supply List, and information about extended care.  These documents will also be available on the WCES Website.  If you have any problems opening or printing any of them, please contact the front office.

Dropping off students at the gate along Cardinal Way is always the most efficient for those of you who are on your way to work in the morning.  If you use the parking lot in front of the office to drop off your child and/or walk them to class, please be mindful of two things:

1. Park in a designated parking space.  Please do not stop in the lane to let your child out.  This slows down traffic and is potentially unsafe for your child. 

2. If you park, please do not use the handicap spaces unless you have a handicap placard or sticker.  

Online lunch ordering is open now through September 4th. The ordering window for the first week of school will close next Tuesday, August 11th at 3:00 p.m. The menu for those dates is below. If you are new to WCS or new to ordering lunches, please see important information about how to log in and order below and in the attached document.

In the attached document, you’ll find detailed instructions for placing lunch orders for your students.  Below are a couple of tips that you’ll find helpful as you’re using the program:

• Each of your children is connected to your account.  You’ll find them listed in a drop-down list at the top of the page. You’ll be directed to the specific menu for each student’s campus and can view and print the menu for that campus by clicking “Menu” on the left side of your screen.

• To place an order, return to the “Purchase Preorder” page and follow the instructions attached.

• After you place an order, you can view and print a personalized menu for each student that shows only what you’ve ordered for them.

Keep in mind that:

• The lunch ordering window closes each Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. for the following week.

• If your child is absent you can come by the school and pick up their lunch.  You must contact the office before 10:00 a.m. if you would like to do this.

• Drinks are not included with meals and must be purchased separately.

• Lunch items are subject to change with little to no notice depending on supplier stock of which we have no control of.

• ES ONLY: If your child forgets their lunch and we can’t reach you or you are unable to bring them lunch, an emergency PB&J sandwich with a vegetable will be provided for $5.00.  Emergency lunches are not the meal that is on the menu for that day.

We provide an escort of elementary students over to the other campus after school.  This is only for students with parents/siblings at the MS/HS campus, who need to be escorted across Matmor, or who use the pedestrian bridge across 113.

Students must be picked up by 3:00 pm (M, T, Th, F), 2:20 pm (Wed), or 12:15 pm (minimum days).  Students not picked up by this time will be walked back to the elementary campus and checked into extended care.

Our Student Support Teacher, Mrs. Schroeder, has put together a document of resources if you want to work on additional reading with your student at home.  The document has links to different websites that can be used on a tablet or a computer.

Additionally, she has provided information for a resource related to dyslexia and speech.
