Woodland is excited to introduce you to two more new team members! Please help us give a big Wildcat Welcome to Miss Allison Junge and Miss Salena Jason. We can't wait to see what amazing things you will do this year! Thank you for joining the #LifeintheW team and supporting the students at Woodland Intermediate. Have a wonderful school year 💚🐯
(We will be continuing to visit new staff members over the next few weeks so keep the welcome wishes coming)


September is Attendance Awareness Month
Thank you to these Wildcats for showing us that being Present makes them Powerful!
School districts across the country are working to reduce chronic absenteeism. Being absent can negatively impact a child’s academic performance; it also limits their opportunities to practice essential problem solving skills, self-regulation, self-discipline, and social development. A well-rounded Woodland education includes so much more than academics - #LifeintheW is better with all of our Wildcats in the house!


Today we celebrate the Woodland Technology Team for everything they do behind the scenes to keep Woodland running smoothly. Whether they are trouble shooting issues with laptops and Chromebooks, implementing innovative technologies and deploying new applications, or maintaining our servers and networks, this team makes sure we are always on, always connected, and always secure! #LifeintheW

Say "Cheese!"
School Picture Day is coming soon. We can't wait to see your big Wildcat smiles! You will see specific details from your school principal, so be sure to watch for instructions on how to order pictures, and any additional information you need.

4th Grade Classroom Visit with Ms. Vaughan's class!
First the students looked for clues in the sentences to determine if the goal was Persuade, Inform, or Entertain. Then they went on a scavenger hunt throughout the room to find sentence cards. Once they found a card, they were expected to record any nouns from that card in the corresponding box on their charts. It was great to see students moving around the room exercising both body and brain muscles. #LifeintheW
