School Board Members Day, Nov. 15
In honor of School Board Members Day in Illinois, we invite you to meet your Woodland D50 Board of Education! These seven individuals dedicate hundreds of volunteer hours over the course of the year in service to our learning community.
The Board of Education helps pave the way for our staff and students by setting policy, making sound financial decisions, advocating for important public education advancements, and evaluating policies, programs, and services through an Equity and Inclusion Lens to provide exceptional learning experiences for all learners.
Thank you for your commitment to making #LifeintheW a welcoming, safe place for students to achieve their dreams.
We will continue the celebration tomorrow at the November Board of Education Meeting. Thursday, Nov. 16, Meeting Information and Agenda - https://www.smore.com/9f2ve

The Woodland Parent Mentor Program is so much more than classroom volunteers! The Parent Mentors have weekly training, enrichment and outreach opportunities where they are able to meet new people and learn new skills that they can take back to use with students in the classroom. Last week they had a special guest join them for their "Beyond the Classroom" work. Gurnee Mayor Tom Hood spent time with our mentors to help build the school to community connection. We love to see these partnerships in action.


Who grows our students' minds-they do! Best staff ever! #LifeintheW @wPrimary50 @woodland50news #AEW2023
