Hidden Gem Alert! 💎📣🚨
Have you heard of Woodland's Saturday Study Hall and Homework Help program? On Saturday mornings, all Wildcats have access to FREE tutoring and mentorship. Students can work one-on-one with Woodland teachers, or in small groups with their peers to complete homework, study for a test, get help on a project, have someone proofread their paper, practice speaking Spanish, work through a math concept that is giving them trouble, play educational games, and whatever else your Wildcat needs!
Some students come every week because this has become such a beneficial part of their routine, and some Wildcats only come when they need a quiet place to work on extra homework or study. Some of our students sign up when their parents can't help them with a certain subject, and some have joined us on Saturday morning when they are trying to catch up after missing a few days of school. Whatever the reason, everyone is welcome!

October is Disability Awareness Month and Intermediate is celebrating with our (dis)Ability & Inclusion Assemblies.

We were honored to welcome speakers from the Lake County Centers for Independent Living (LCCIL), who shared their personal stories about living with both visible and invisible disabilities.

Students learned how our guests navigated school, made friends, pursued their dreams, and lived life to the fullest. Thank you for showing our Wildcats that everyone, despite our differences, has unique strengths and abilities.
