SamTrans is conducting a study of youth mobility needs in San Mateo County, and is looking for input from youth and the parents and guardians of San Mateo youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Your input will help them identify initiatives for making it easier for youth to travel to Woodside High School.
This is an issue of increasing concern to the District. The links to the English and Spanish versions of the Safe Routes to School Parent Survey are below. Our school is a grantee of Safe Routes funds, so our participation is expected. It is about a 5 minute survey and will remain open until December 16th. Principal Burbank
From SamTrans: Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your feedback allows us to adjust Safe Routes to School (SRTS) education and encouragement program features to best meet the needs of each individual school. Your feedback will also be shared with decision makers who can address infrastructure issues regarding safe walking and biking. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para llenar esta encuesta. Su participación nos permite ajustar las características de educación y fomento del programa Rutas Seguras a la Escuela para cumplir mejor con las necesidades de cada escuela. Sus comentarios también serán compartidos con autoridades que pueden abordar cuestiones de infraestructura en cuanto a caminar o andar en bicicleta con seguridad. La encuesta no debe tardar más de 5 minutos en completarse.

We're inside two weeks to the "Evening of Entertainment" performance of "The Canterville Ghost". This delightful comedy is about an American family who purchase an English Manor House and get the added pleasure of a ghost! However, the tables are turned as the children of this "don't believe in ghosts" family start to terrorize their ghost and lots of laughter ensues. Mark your calendars for Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm to join us in our own PAC for these performances. Tickets will be on sale the week before the production at lunch and after school in the PAC and, of course, the night of the show; Adults: $10 / Students: $5.
Also, a friendly reminder, if someone in your family is intending to audition for the Spring Music - "Anything Goes" - auditions are November 28 - December 2. Singing auditions are early in the week and dancing towards the end. You'll have to sign up for the first part, so listen for announcements about how to get you slot! Jim Larkin - Drama Booster President
