Superintendent's Message: Welcome Back, Woodcrest!

Welcome Back, Woodcrest Elementary School Students, Staff, and Families!

I am thrilled to welcome our Woodcrest Stars to the start of another exciting year! With great anticipation and enthusiasm, I look forward to beginning a new school year filled with opportunities, growth, and the promise of achieving remarkable things together.

This year's theme, "Dream Big, Achieve More," highlights our commitment to helping our students realize their dreams; it’s a call to action for all of us. We believe that every student at Woodcrest has the potential to achieve greatness and will inspire us all to set ambitious goals, working diligently to reach them.

Imagine a year filled with curiosity, discovery, and incredible achievements. Picture yourselves reaching new heights in your learning, forming lasting friendships, and making memories that will shape your future. As our District prepares to Dream Big and strive to Achieve More, we’ll create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to pursue their dreams.

To our wonderful staff, thank you for your dedication and passion. Your commitment to nurturing our students' dreams makes Woodcrest so special. Together, we'll create a vibrant, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.

To our CCS students, as you walk through the doors on July 24, know that you are starting something extraordinary. Embrace every challenge, celebrate every success, and remember that big dreams lead to great achievements. Let’s make this school year our best yet, filled with endless possibilities.

Here’s to a colorful, fun, and exciting year ahead at Woodcrest Elementary! I know you will continue to shine bright like the Woodcrest Stars that you are!

Sincerely,

Dr. Angela Chapman
Superintendent/CEO, Columbus City Schools
