Primary School

Thank you to those that have taken the Illinois 5Essentials Survey already! There is still time: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/?target_name=parent Here is Woodland's Parent/Guardian response rate so far: Woodland Primary: 20% Woodland Elementary: 18% Woodland Intermediate: 25% Woodland Middle School: 18% This feedback is very meaningful to us, and we appreciate you helping us reach that 20% threshold! As a reminder, we need to reach a minimum of 20% at each school in order to receive the survey results.

Join us for the next BPAC Meeting! Date: Wednesday, March 13 Time: 7 - 8 p.m. Location: Woodland Middle School (Library) Presentation: Social Media and Teens Presented by School Resource Detective Kelly Hansen Gurnee Police Department (it will be interpreted into Spanish).

The monthly Board of Education meeting always starts with celebrations as a way to recognize the achievements of Woodland staff and students, and/or to highlight a special program or group. At the February meeting, the Woodland Intermediate Spelling Bee winner and finalists led the Board in the Pledge of Allegiance, Woodland Elementary students sang "Life Every Voice and Sing" in honor of Black History Month, and some of Woodland's Parent Mentors presented on the growth of the Parent Mentor program! #LifeintheW
