About
Welcome to the extraordinary community of Woodside, where parents and teachers unite to make a profound impact on the lives of our children. We stand as a powerful advocate for children and families, providing unwavering support to the dedicated teachers who shape the future of our little ones. In instances where federal and state funding fall short in providing a solid educational foundation, we step in to bridge the gaps. But it's not all serious business; we also thrive on creating an enjoyable atmosphere and fostering friendships. Our ultimate goal is to transform Woodside into a school that fills its students with pride, where every child can proudly declare, "I am a Woodside Toucan!"
Did you know that our doors are wide open to everyone? Whether you're a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, or any other caring individual, we welcome you with open arms.
The PTA members and volunteers are the driving force behind countless educational contributions, as well as organizing fun-filled events and activities that would otherwise be beyond reach. By becoming a member of the PTA, you contribute to the betterment of your child's school, even if you are unable to actively participate in volunteer work. We are always excited to embrace new members into our PTA family.
Throughout the year, we are constantly in need of enthusiastic volunteers for various tasks. If you're interested in joining the fun, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and you can find more information by clicking on our volunteer page.
Let's work together to create a vibrant and fulfilling educational experience for our children at Woodside Elementary. Join us in shaping a brighter future!
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much!
