Principal's Message

Warm Greetings, Woodbury Tiger Families!

It is with a heart full of excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of Woodbury Elementary School. It is a true joy to join this vibrant Tiger family and to partner with you as we embark on a wonderful new school year together.

This year marks my 26th year serving the Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD), and I am absolutely delighted to call Woodbury my new home. I feel so fortunate to be joining a community that is deeply committed to the growth and success of every child.

At the heart of our school, we carry our Tiger PRIDE. We are dedicated to supporting our students as they learn and flourish by focusing on these core values:

• Positivity
• Respect
• Integrity
• Dedication
• Excellence

We truly believe that when home and school work hand-in-hand, our children thrive. We would be honored to have you involved in our school life. Whether you join our Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO), share a morning at our Pastries with Principals, enjoy our Family Nights, or contribute your perspective to the School Site Council (SSC) or English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), your presence is what makes our community special.

To stay connected with all the wonderful things happening at Woodbury, please keep an eye on ParentSquare and your Aeries Parent Portal. These platforms are our primary ways of sharing school-wide celebrations, classroom news, and helpful information.

I am looking forward to meeting each of you and working together to make this a joyful and successful year for every single Woodbury Tiger!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Milliman
Principal, Woodbury Elementary School

Our School

Greetings students and families!

Welcome to Woodbury Elementary School where our hardworking teachers and staff go above and beyond to provide an exceptional education to our 400 students.  We are committed to equipping all students with the academic and personal skills for lifelong success.  Our students experience a high level of academic rigor and continue to excel in the classroom.

Our after school programs help extend the learning beyond the school day.

• The College and Career Mentoring Program pairs sixth grade students with a college mentor who serves as a positive role model, helps students with their school work, and teaches them about the path to college and career success.
• Our Boys & Girls Club is up and running for all second through sixth grade students. Students receive homework help and participate in fun academic, artistic, and athletic activities.
• The Intervention Program provides tutoring support for students who need that extra assistance in a specific subject. Teachers assist students by reviewing class concepts, exercises and homework. 
• Woodbury's Computer Program teaches scholars important 21st century technology skills. Students become respectful digitally literate citizens as they explore the internet and are taught to use it for educational purposes.
• Our Math Programs teach and review math concepts and lessons with students as a means to prepare them for standardized testing as well as upper grade math. Students explore the theory and reasoning behind math problems, applying them to real world scenarios.
• The 100-Mile Club creates the personal goal for students of running up to 100 miles by the end of the year. From this program, comes our family fun-run event, known as "The Color Run!"  
• Our Art Program brings out students' artistic talents and allows them an opportunity to learn real-world skills from professional artists.  
• Wednesdays are College and Career Awareness days. Students learn important college readiness skill and begin exploring their college and career interests and goals.

Woodbury staff and teachers regularly recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our students with monthly awards for character, scholarly habits, and attendance.  Parents also receive awards for high levels of parent engagement. 

We're grateful for our parent volunteers who do so much to enhance the school experience, including fundraising campaigns to support a variety of educational assemblies, our after-school robotics program, and annual family events that promote a healthy school community. 

 We are looking forward to another great school year at Woodbury thanks to our amazing students, staff and parents!
