School Climate Survey
Woodland Intermediate School students will be helping us assess our school’s environment by answering questions on our School Climate Survey. The survey will be taken during the months of November and March and is designed to learn more about student perceptions and experiences during this school year. Areas we look at include:
Bullying
How many students report that they have been bullied at school this year.
How students respond to the bullying.
How often students report bullying to an adult at school.
Whether or not bullying improves once it is reported to an adult at school.
School Connectedness
How many students have a trusted adult at school.
How satisfied students are with their friendships.
Whether or not students enjoy their school experience.
The data we collect will be used to ensure Woodland continues to be a safe learning environment for our students.
Please contact Tiffani Gelhar (School Counselor) at 730-0924 if you have any questions or concerns.

Kimberly Lacrosse Informational Meeting
The Kimberly Area Lacrosse Board (KALA) board is holding an informational meeting on Monday, October 16th at 7:00 pm at Woodland School LMC; this meeting will be informal, and provide basic youth lacrosse information for the upcoming season. This is open to all youth parents, or parents of children that are interested in starting the sport of lacrosse. We will provide a FAQ with information and open the session to questions. We took feedback from previous years’ surveys and will present basic information at the meeting. Even if your child has never played before, but is interested, this is the meeting for you! We expect the meeting to last no more than one hour. Mark your calendars – and we hope to see you there. Invite your friends! It’s never too early to start thinking about lacrosse! Thank you!
