Woodside Giving Tree

This year we would like to support families with gifts for the children and food. Giving Tree Stars with needed items will be available starting on November 28th in the office. Please stop by and pick up a star. Any questions please e-mail

Lost and Found
Our lost and found is OVER FLOWING. Please take a few minutes before or after school to go through it. There are many, many jackets, sweaters, and lunch boxes. If your child went to school with one, but didn’t come home with one, chances are it’s here. All Lost and Found will be donated to the San Juan Clothes Closet during Winter break.
Parking Lot Safety
Safety is our number one priority here at Woodside. If you utilize the parking lots on either side of campus, please drive slowly and park in an approved parking stall. We cannot have cars stopped in the drive lanes to drop students off. This is not safe. We ask that you park, in a designated parking spot, get out of the car with your student, and escort them to the sidewalk. Please follow the dropping/picking up rules to avoid the parking lots being coned off. Lastly, when exiting the west parking lot, please observe the “right turn only” sign. It’s safer to turn right and keeps the traffic flowing. Thank you for helping us safeguard our children.
Campus Security
As a reminder, please ensure you sign in at the Main Office every time you visit our campus- this includes times when dropping off lunches. This is important for two reasons. First, we need to keep our campus free from potential outside intruders. When you sign in and receive a visitor badge, our staff members will know that you have permission to be on campus. Please be sure to write the date and location you’re visiting on the badge. Secondly, in case of an emergency that requires a campus lock-down, we need to know you are on campus and accounted for in the unlikely event emergency personnel are dispatched to our site. Please follow these procedures, especially not loitering on campus or hanging out near the quad gate. Thank you, again, for helping keep our campus safe! Additionally, if you visit your child during recess time please refrain from joining their group games.
