Welcome WBF Students and Families
Dear Woodbridge Farms Families,
Welcome back! My name is Kerri Williams and I am honored to serve as the principal of Woodbridge Farms Elementary. I would like to welcome everyone to a new school year! I hope you all enjoyed your summer and found opportunities to rest, relax, recharge, and spend time with friends and family. For those families that are new to Woodbridge, welcome to our pack!
The school office is now open. The first day of school for all students in Grades 1-6 and our system programs (CSP, Connections and Impact) is Thursday, August 29. Please review the start-up information below to help you prepare for the new school year. A reminder that our school supply lists are available on our school website.
School Start – School Supply Orders
If you ordered your child’s school supplies from School Start and selected delivery to the school, please contact the school office at 780-464-3330 to arrange a time to pick up your supplies especially if you’d like to label supplies prior to our Unpack Your Backpack Event. If you are unable to come in, you can pick-up your supplies Wednesday evening from 5:00-6:00PM or they will be available in your child’s classroom on the first day of school.
Meet the Staff and Unpack Your Backpack Event
Date: Wednesday, August 28, 2024
Time: 5:00 to 6:00PM
We invite our students and families to our Meet the Staff and Unpack your Backpack Event on Wednesday, August 28, from 5:00 to 6:00PM. This event takes place the evening before school starts so that students and families can locate classrooms, drop off your child’s labelled school supplies, and say hello to their teacher.
Families in Grades 1-6 will receive a School Messenger notification by the end of the day on Tuesday, August 27 to inform families of their child’s teacher and classroom location. We look forward to welcoming our students a day early and giving them a sneak peek of their classroom! If you are unable to attend on August 28, don't worry - families can accompany their child(ren) to their classroom on the first day of classes.
Kindergarten Information
In June, Kindergarten families should have received information about their child's orientation time. Kindergarten students will have an opportunity to attend in small groups for their orientation between August 29 - September 4. Regular classes for Kindergarten will begin on September 5 (Group B) and September 6 (Group A). If you have any questions about the date and time of your child's orientation, please contact the office at 780-464-3330.
