Dear CW Families,We had a really good week at CW! As I spend time in all of our classrooms, I see that students are getting into a
routine of learning and thinking! At CW, we really believe that learning is a social process and does not occur in
isolation! Not only do we teach content, but a major focus is in helping students develop their collaboration skills.
This was evident during math instruction in both 5th and 6th grade! Students were talking and sharing their
reasoning and thinking! It was great to see

together the directory for the CW families! If you are interested in helping out, please contact Melissa Bunnell at [email protected]
• Safety Drills: We have already had two fire drills this year and we will have our first lockdown drill next week. We are required by the state to conduct drills during the course of the year. I have been impressed by our students in how they have carried themselves during the drills so far.
• Heating and Cooling: We are in that time in our school where our school can vary a few degrees with temperature based on the unpredictable weather of Michigan! I encourage you to have your child dress in layers so they can be comfortable during the day!

Fall Festival and Costume Parade
Central Woodlands will celebrate our Fall Festival and Costume Parade on Monday, October 31 from 11:10 to 11:55 a.m. Students and staff members are invited to dress in costumes for our Costume celebration and school-wide parade. Kids should plan to bring costumes in bags marked with their names and plan to change into costumes prior to the celebration. To minimize interruptions to the class schedule, students should not wear makeup to school. Families are welcome to observe the parade which will take place from 11:10-11:30 a.m. Parents are requested to use the “viewing area” in the center of the bus parking lot, inside the orange cones. We request families not to park in the bus parking lot. Weather permitting, the parade will extend from Huron Hall (D Hall) exit down the sidewalk to the playground and return to the bus parking lot and loop back indoors. Families are welcome to join in and/or take photos along the way. In the event of inclement weather, parents are welcome to observe the parade as it loops through the gym, cafeteria, and mall hall. For safety reasons, we will ask all parent/visitors to stop in the Nautilus entry to sign and wear a name tag. We will proceed to classrooms at 11:30 a.m. to have cider and donuts compliments of our PTO and then dismiss to buses at 11:55 a.m. Students should plan to wear their costumes home on the bus as time to change will be limited. As always, we encourage students to focus on the fun side of dressing up in costumes! Costumes that are violent or gory-appearing or which depict questionable characters are not allowed. For safety, no play weapons are permitted. Please help your child create or choose a costume that will keep the atmosphere positive. REMEMBER THAT MONDAY, OCTOBER 31 IS A ½ DAY
OF SCHOOL. SCHOOL IS DISMISSED AT 11:55 A.M.
