The Woodland Technology Team is made up of dedicated employees who are always working behind the scenes to make sure our staff has the technology they need to support our students, and that our students have the technology they need to be successful learners. It takes a special set of skills to be an IT professional, and we appreciate their hard work to make sure our network is safe, secure, and running at optimal levels. To the entire Woodland Technology Team, thank you for your service to our learning community! Your hard work is what allows us to stay connected, figuratively and literally. #LifeintheW

Board of Education President Anna Chang-Yen, and Board Member Brianna Powvens, recently attended the Rotary Club of Gurnee. They were invited to give a presentation about the Roles & Responsibilities of a school board/school board members. They also shared information about why they decided to serve the community in this role, provided updates about the school district and Woodland's new Five-Year Strategic Plan, and explained what it means to be part of #LifeintheW. We appreciate these Community Partnerships!
Yesterday, we kicked off our Courtyard Committee. This group, which has parents & staff, will get stakeholder input to design & create a reading garden & a sensory-friendly recess space. Thank you to the @Woodland50PTA for seed money (pun intended!) for this effort #LifeintheW
Our Operations & Facilities Department is amazing. Excited to have two new leaders join us to support our schools, staff and district. Please join us in welcoming Phillip Churchill and Adam Halperin to #LifeintheW. Welcome aboard!
Music in the W! Woodland Intermediate students walked into Music class and couldn't wait to make music on these big colorful drums. They worked on a two-part beat to a Swahili greeting song from Kenya called "Jambo Bwana". They were excited to hear a phrase they were familiar with in the song: "Hakuna Matata" = "No Worries"
Honoring those who lost their lives and the heroes who responded by teaching this history to our students who weren't born yet. Pictured here are students in Mr. Lakemacher's class making remembrance posters and reflecting on the tragic events that we promised to Never Forget. Today we remember the innocent lives lost, and the many lives that were forever changed on Sept. 11, 2001.
