The month of October is National Principals Month! At Woodland we are so fortunate to have four dedicated school leaders taking care of our learning community. Let's see how well you know our principals!
Which principal is the biggest football fan? 🏈 Which principal has an identical twin? 🐯🐯 Which principal loves dogs almost as much as Wildcats? 🐕 Which principal was once lead singer in a rock band? 🎤 The answers can be found in the Weekly Newsletter HERE: https://www.smore.com/ct92fy
We invite you to join us in showing our collective appreciation to these dedicated leaders and #ThankaPrinicpal with an email to your child’s principal or a kind word about them on social media. Throughout the year, our school leaders may only hear from stakeholders when there is a problem that needs solving or an issue that a parent/guardian feels needs attention. If you have positive feedback or a success story to share, this would be a great time to send it along and show a little “TLC” to four individuals who care for so many others each day.
(DIS)ABILITY AWARENESS ASSEMBLY at Woodland Intermediate
In case you missed it in Mr. Sheldon's newsletter, here is the video from the assembly on Friday. https://youtu.be/uTpc94s3sOA?si=kHM7adu-_zvWM5fd
At the assembly, students heard from representatives from the Lake County Center for Independent Living, Lunch Supervisor Heather Clark, and Hearing Teacher Jessica Pierson. The speakers talked about their disabilities, and all the ways they are the same as everyone else - with the same interests, hobbies, hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Students also learned about using Person-First language, inclusive play, and treating others with respect. Here is a video they created to show clips from the presentation.
Today Woodland celebrates National Custodian Day! We appreciate our school custodians who go above and beyond to keep our schools clean and safe. You are often the first to arrive in the morning, stand ready to assist throughout the day, and stay into the evening to make sure our schools are ready to welcome our staff and students for a great day in #LifeintheW.

Mrs. Rejczyk's 4th Grade Advanced Language Arts Class had an excellent book discussion today. They are just finishing up their first book study of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. The story is about a beloved toy rabbit who is lost at sea, and the students loved sharing their favorite parts of the adventure that followed. The students also picked up on Edward Tulane's personal journey and how his character developed and changed over time. Great job!
We are so excited to add a full volleyball court to both sides of our building to make recess even more fun! #lifeinthew
Don't forget tomorrow is picture day at Intermediate! #LifeintheW #Actual4thGradeSchoolPictureofMrSheldon

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
