Things Keep Changing and Moving Forward at WHS
Dear WHS families:
Welcome back! WHS embraces the notion of
continuous school improvement, and I have a few
improvements to share!
From Principal
Diane Burbank

Construction of the new 10-classroom, two-story J wing will house
chemistry, engineering, and five other classrooms; completion date Fall
2017

Renovation of Bradley Field track, bleachers, and entrance; completion
date Fall 2016

New website look (same web address!); completed
In the vein of continuous school improvement, we have
two six-year school goals (we’re in year five) that drive
our decision making and funding. First, we are building a
spirited school community based on our 8 Conditions of
Student Success (non-academic means toward academic
ends). Second, we are closing the achievement gap
through a classroom focus on literacy skills. All of our
parent partners in booster groups, PTSA, ELAC, and The
Foundation help us monitor these two goals. The data we
gather to check our progress on the goals include participation
rates for sports and clubs, the demographic of students enrolling
in AS and AP classes, the rate at which English learners are
becoming proficient, and anecdotal evidence from student
surveys and focus groups.
As you are enjoying your last summer days, click on the website
link for the required summer reading for every single student
known as the BIG READ. Because WHS draws from 20
different middle schools, belonging is a primary focus every school year. To
build belonging, we start with summer reading. And because student choice is a
focus, too, students choose their reading with some guidelines: 1) 150 page
minimum 2) book can be reading required for an AS or AP class 3) non-fiction or
fiction 4) choose one of two projects to complete about the reading. WHS has a
cart of free cool titles to choose. Come pick one out! The BIG READ is due on
Mon, August 29, 6th period.
I look forward to meeting new Wildcats on

Las Cosas Van Cambiando y Moviéndose
Hacia Adelante en WHS
Estimadas familias de WHS:
Bienvenidos de nuevo!
WHS abraza el
concepto de mejorar la escuela continuamente,
y tengo algunas mejoras que compartir!
From Principal
Diane Burbank

La construcción de 10 salones nuevos, el Ala J de dos pisos será la
casa de química, ingeniería y otros cinco salones: la fecha para
terminarlos es en el otoño del 2017

Renovación de la pista Bradley para correr, gradas y la entrada;
estarán terminados en el otoño del 2016

La nueva imagen de la página web (misma dirección web!);
terminada
En la línea de mejoras continuas a la escuela,
tenemos dos metas a cumplir en seis años escolares
(estamos en el quinto) impulsadas por las decisiones
que tomamos y el financiamiento. Primero, estamos
construyendo una comunidad escolar entusiasta
basada en las 8 condiciones para el éxito del
estudiante (medios no académicos con fines
académicos). Segundo, estamos cerrando la brecha
en el rendimiento a través de un enfoque en las
destrezas de alfabetización en el aula. Todos nuestros padres que colaboran
en los grupos de refuerzo, asociados, PTSA, ELAC y la Fundación nos
ayudan a supervisar estas dos metas. Los datos que recogemos para medir
nuestro progreso en las metas incluyen el porcentaje de participación en
deportes y clubs, datos demográficos de estudiantes inscritos en clases AS y
AP, porcentajes en los cuales los Aprendices de Ingles están
siendo proficientes y evidencia anecdótica de las encuestas a
los estudiantes y los grupos de enfoque.
Mientras están disfrutando sus últimos días de verano, haga
clic en el enlace del sitio web para la lectura de verano
requerida para cada estudiante, conocida como BIG READ.
Porque a WHS llegan de 20 escuelas intermedias diferentes, pertenencia es
el enfoque principal cada año escolar. Para construir la pertenencia,
empezamos con la lectura de verano. Debido a que la elección de los
estudiantes es un enfoque, también los estudiantes escogen su lectura con
algunas pautas: 1) 150 páginas mínimo 2) el libro puede ser lectura
requerida para una clase AS o AP 3) no ficción o ficción 4) escoger uno o
dos proyectos para completar a cerca de la lectura. WHS tiene un carrito
con títulos interesantes gratis para escoger. Ven y elige uno! La fecha
límite para BIG READ es el lunes, 29 de agosto, en el 6o. periodo.
Espero con interés reunirme con los Gatos Salvajes (Wildcats) nuevos el
jueves, 11 de agosto, en el evento deportivo de saque inicial y en la noche
para padres nuevos de WHS. Espero con interés ver a todos los gatos
salvajes en todo el proceso importante de inscripción en agosto (sus
estudiantes reciben sus horarios!) y más tarde en la Noche de Regreso a la
Escuela el jueves, 1º de septiembre, a las 6:30 pm (usted se reúne con los
maestros de su estudiante!).
Diane Burbank, La Directora
August/September 2016 Communicat
WHS Continues to Foster all 8 Conditions of Student Success
in so Many Ways
From Instructional
Vice Principal
Diane Mazzei
Welcome back Wildcats! I am looking forward to another school year filled with your
successful and productive endeavors. I joined WHS twenty-three years ago when I was
hired to fill a position as science teacher. That position expanded and evolved into titles
such as, Data Team Coordinator, Student Activities Director, and Shared Decision-Making
Facilitator before I was selected for the Instructional Vice Principal (IVP) position eight
years ago.
As IVP, my primary responsibilities include oversight of the Academic Core-Programs, Curriculum Development and
Alignment, Standardized Testing, Guidance Department, Professional Development, Department Chairs, Hiring Staff
Members and Title I funds.
Woodside High School Continues to Foster the “8 Conditions of Student Success”
We believe every student wants to be successful, and WHS is committed to helping students identify their goals and
supporting students to reach their goals.
BELONGING:
Being an important part of a group, while understanding you are special for who you are
Wildcats Get Ready for the NEW Big Read! (Student choice)

WHS students will self-select the book they wish to read over the summer (150 page minimum). We recommend
that parents review the titles and content and assist their student in making a suitable selection.

Big Read Assignment: All WHS students will choose ONE of the following assignments to complete. The
New Big Read day will be held on Monday, August 29, 2016. Be prepared to share/present your work on that
day!


OR


Create a colorful poster related to your book and WHS 8 Conditions of Student Success. Be sure the poster
includes the title and author of the book and at least 3 of the 8 conditions.
Write a minimum of 5 journal entries that illustrate at least 3 of the 8 conditions of student success in
response to reading of your book. These journal entries should be based on your thinking about the text.
When you find a good example of a character demonstrating one of the 8 conditions, write down the page
number in the book, and which condition is being shown. Write at least 3 sentences about how the
character’s actions may influence his or her future success.
Refer to the WHS web page under NEW Big Read quick links - for examples of journal entries and colorful

things? Meet with your guidance counselor early in the year, and as often as necessary to learn about new

ESPIRITU DE AVENTURA:
Estar emocionado al tartar cosas nuevas, aun cuando no estas seguro si vas a ser bueno en ellas
High school es un tiempo para explorar, por lo tanto es importante solo hacerlo-unirte a clubs, equipos de atletismo,
voluntariado e involucrarte en otras actividades escolares. De que otra manera sabrás para que eres bueno o que disfrutas
si no intentas cosas nuevas? Reúnete con tu consejero al comienzo de año, tan frecuente como sea necesario para
aprender acerca de nuevas oportunidades y darles una oportunidad.
El consejero asignado a su estudiante esta escrito en el horario oficial que reciben el Proceso de Inscripción (Arena
Check-in). Aunque lo le damos la bienvenida a llamarlo por teléfono, usted pudiera encontrar mas conveniente
comunicarse con el consejero de su estudiante por email: La Oficina de Consejería se reabrirá el 1º de agosto, 2016.

WOODSIDE HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION
PROVIDES RECORD FUNDING
Money for Smaller Class Sizes, New Electives, Academic Support
With the unprecedented support of Woodside families, alumni, and community, this school year the Foundation is already
providing more than $490,000 for the following:

Class Size Reduction: Thirteen additional sections of AS, AP and core English and math classes,
reducing class size in 64 classes.

New Electives: Expanded course offerings including Urban Debate League, Entrepreneurship, and
a Mobile Apps class.

Academic Support: Funding for The Den, an after school program offering free tutoring and collaborative work
spaces for students.

A second College and Career Counselor to provide expanded support to our students through the college
application and enrollment process.
This past year, we also received a directed donation to underwrite a significant upgrade of equipment and supplies for
STEM and digital arts classrooms.
“Our partnership with the Foundation enables the faculty and staff at Woodside to offer an amazing array of opportunities
to our students at all levels and academic abilities,” said WHS Principal Diane Burbank. “Smaller class sizes mean our
teachers can really give each student the attention they deserve and need for success. And, equipping our new STEM
building and expanding our computer science, robotics and other applied learning opportunities will help prepare our
students for success in college and in today’s workforce.”
We cannot continue this level of support without YOUR HELP!
As the new school year begins, we ask for your help as we begin this year’s effort.
We raise money primarily through our Annual Campaign and the Spring Auction. Check your mailbox for our annual
report in September or go to www.whsfoundation.org.
The 19th Annual Spring Auction has been a smashing success: with the support of parents, students, and the greater
community, we raised $250,000 for Woodside students!

Welcome back, Class of 2018!
We have a big year ahead of us, and we need your help as parents of the junior class.
One of our biggest responsibilities will be running the concession stands during football and basketball games. This is
so important because most of the proceeds fund The Safe & Sober grad night. We need help planning, preparing,
setting up, selling, grilling and cleaning up. And if you aren't available Friday
nights to help, no worries! We also need shoppers and food and money donations.
The first round of concession stand duty will be for our Friday night Wildcat
Football home games on September 9, 16, and 30 and October 14 and 28. Come
mingle with old friends, meet new ones, and support the success of the Class of
2018!
To sign up as a volunteer, contact Naomi Reynolds at dragonyoga@hotmail.com. Every little bit helps!
And if you or anyone you know are not connected with the Class of 2018 Parent group via Google groups, let us
know and we can add the appropriate e-mail address to our list.
Thanks so much for your support. Go Wildcats!
