Where Learning Begins and Futures Take Root

At Woodlands Elementary, we believe the early years set the tone for a lifetime of learning. Our staff partners closely with families to create a nurturing, student-centered environment where curiosity, confidence, and foundational skills grow every day. From PreK through 5th grade, students experience hands-on learning, innovative instruction, and strong academic support — all while building the character, friendships, and resilience that will carry them forward. As part of Huron City Schools, Woodlands Elementary is proud to foster academic excellence and a love for learning in a safe, inclusive, and supportive community.

  • Keeping Safety First—Every Student, Every Day

    Student safety is our top priority during arrival and dismissal. To ensure a smooth and secure process, staff members are assigned to monitor key locations throughout our campus. Please take time to review the following procedures with your child and help reinforce their importance each day.

    Important Reminder:
    Any change to your child’s typical arrival or dismissal plan must be submitted in writing and shared with both the classroom teacher and the front office.

    By following these procedures, you help keep our students safe and the arrival/dismissal run smoothly for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!
     


    Arrival Information

    Arrival Window: 7:25–7:40 AM

    Supervision begins at 7:25 AM. Please do not drop students off before this time.

    Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up


    Student's Mode of Transportation

    Walkers

    Students are considered walkers if they leave school grounds on foot to:

    • Go home
    • Meet a parent/guardian parked off school property

    Walkers may not be picked up from the staff parking lot due to safety concerns

    Bus Riders

    Students assigned to a bus route are considered bus riders and should use this transportation daily. Riding the bus helps reduce traffic congestion and maintains a safe environment during peak times.

    All bus students will load and unload at the front loop of the school.
    No car traffic is allowed in the front bus loop during arrival and dismissal.


    Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up

    Students are considered parent pick-up/drop-off only if you are using your vehicle to pick them up on Lake Erie Parkway (west side of the building).

    Grades K–5: Use the west side of the building (Green Arrow area)
    Preschool: Use the east side of the building (Pink Arrow area)

    If you meet your child on foot or wait off school property, your child is considered a walker, not a parent pick-up.

    Siblings in K–5 with a Pre-K sibling: These students will arrive and dismiss with Pre-K on the east side of the building.

Mr Kucbel, Woodlands PrincipalWelcome to Woodlands Elementary! I’m proud to serve as the principal of a school filled with energy, curiosity, and a shared commitment to student success. At Woodlands, our mission is simple: to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every student can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. 

We believe in strong partnerships with families, and we know that when we work together – parents, teachers, and the community – great things can happen for our kids. Our dedicated staff works hard to meet each child where they are and challenge them to become their best selves, both in and out of the classroom. 

Whether it’s hands-on learning in the classroom, participating in one of our school traditions, or finding joy in everyday moments, we want our students to feel seen, supported, and inspired. 

Thank you for being part of our Woodlands community. Let’s continue to work together to make this school year meaningful and memorable for all of our students.
