West Woods Elementary School

This Daily Health Assessment is a very important first line of defense in both ensuring the health and wellness of your children and also protecting our entire school community from the risk of infection. 

Please call the school to report any symptoms associated with COVID-19 and most importantly do not send your child to school if your child is ill. 

Check out these links to learn more about amazing opportunities for girls' basketball, basketball for students ages 5-6,  free hockey and various lacrosse clinics for students in our community.

Our math specialist, Mrs. Pietrosimone, will again be running Math Challenges for all students who are interested. View this slide show to learn more.

Encourage your student to visit the interactive bulletin board by the main office to see current challenges. The first challenge is “West Woods turns 50!”  Students have two missions to choose from (one geared towards K-3 and the other 4-6).  More information will be coming in the West Woods Weekly and morning announcements.

Going forward, the Drive-up & Go Free Food Distribution will be called the Hamden Public Schools and the Town of Hamden FREE Mobile Food Pantry. 

Starting September 14^th from 4:30pm-5:30pm, the CT Foodshare Mobile Pantry truck will be parked at 306 Circular Ave. giving out all sorts of groceries. Folks will simply need to bring their bags, park their vehicles, or walk up and get in line. This is a free event for the whole family! It will continue every other Wednesday starting September 14th. 

For more information or opportunity in volunteering contact Hector Velazquez, at hvelazquez@hamden.org.
