School psychologists support students' learning and mental and behavioral health, promote positive and inclusive school climates, serve on school safety and crisis teams, and collaborate with families, teachers, and administrators to help our Wildcats GROW! With your guidance, we grow as individuals, and we grow as a learning community. To Woodland’s dedicated School Psychologists, Happy #SchoolPsychWeek – Let’s Grow Together! #LifeintheW

Thank you to everyone who attended the first Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) of the 2023-2024 school year! We had a great turnout, and it was wonderful to see our families getting to know each other and making connections. The adults heard presentations about Mental Health, and Community Resources, and learned new tips for getting involved in their child's school. The kids spent time working on a craft with Woodland teachers and Warren Township High School student volunteers from Avanza. Starbucks, Jewel, and Tacos el Norte donated food and raffle prizes (look how cute those owl cake pops were in the photos). Learn more and JOIN BPAC here: https://www.dist50.net/o/dist50/page/bpac

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.
