Welcome to Woodland Intermediate School!

Last Monday's BOE meeting marked a momentous moment for Middlesex Borough Schools… the naming of our Intermediate School! Thank you to all who took part in the process, which included extensive research, stakeholder surveys, and meetings of the Naming Committee (students, staff, parents, community members & Mr. Ryan Regan). The name - Woodland Intermediate School - was recommended by the Student Naming Committee and, ultimately, received the most votes of the five nominations presented to the board! Now on to the next challenge… selecting the school mascot!
