Teacher of the Year nomination time is here! Please use this link to nominate the teacher you feel deserves to be named Teacher of the Year for WES. The winning teachers will compete in county and state level categories. Paper forms will be sent Friday, January 9th.
Dear Wave Families,
January is a month filled with important diagnostic assessments for all students in grades K–5. These assessments help teachers accurately pinpoint student skills and make final instructional adjustments in preparation for the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) for students in grades 3–5, which will take place beginning in April.
MAP testing for both reading and math will begin in the coming days. These assessments are an important tool in understanding each student’s progress and instructional needs.
Please help support your child by ensuring they get a good night’s rest, arrive at school on time, and are encouraged to do their very best. Attendance is especially important during testing unless your child is sick.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help our students succeed.

Wishing Woodson Families a Happy New Year!! 2026 Here we come!!
Please take a moment to update contact information in Powerschool.
In an effort to avoid the challenges we experienced last year during the extended weather-related closure, we will be sending student devices home over the holiday break. Devices will go home on Friday, December 19th and should be returned on January 5th, unless otherwise directed.
If your student will not be in attendance on Friday, December 19th, please contact your child’s teacher or the school office to make alternate plans for picking up the device.
Please note:
Students who have not yet returned a previously issued device or charger will not receive a new device at this time. Contact the school if you are having trouble locating the missing equipment.
Students who have not completed the Acceptable Use Agreement and/or Device Agreement paperwork will not be issued a device. Copies of these forms are available upon request.
All devices and chargers must be returned on the first day back from winter break.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
