Education Way Closure Due To Fun Run
Due to the Fun Run, we will be using Education Way for buses on Friday, September 29th. Please be aware that the buses may be blocking the road by the baseball field on the south side of the school. This will impact Elementary arrival and Intermediate dismissal times. You may need to find an alternate route during those times. Thanks for your understanding and supporting our FUN RUN!!
Bullying Awareness Week
Every school year at Woodland, students and staff spend some time talking about bully prevention. We align our efforts with Wisconsin's Day of Observance for Bullying Awareness that is set aside for the 4th Wednesday of September. This is an important step in laying the foundation for a positive school climate that we strive to create for and with our students each year. On the wall by our recess doors, you will find the following statement. “We, the Woodland Wolves, pledge to never bully anyone. Instead, we will choose to Dare to C.A.R.E.” Students and staff sign their names to the banner below our pledge as a reminder of what we said we will do.
