Vision Statement
Wood Elementary is LEADING and LEARNING.
Principal's Perspective
Welcome back to another exciting school year! We're off to a fantastic start to the year as our students embrace our OWLS philosophy: Own our actions, Work together, Lead by example, Show respect. These values are guiding us towards a successful year ahead! As we embark on this new academic journey, we want to emphasize the importance of a strong start and daily attendance.
Consistent attendance lays the foundation for success in both math and reading. Attending school every day ensures that your child doesn't miss valuable learning opportunities. It allows us to build a supportive and engaging classroom environment where students can thrive.
This year, we are particularly focused on enhancing our students' math and reading skills. With your support and regular attendance, we are confident that your child will make remarkable progress. Encourage your child to read and discover math in everyday tasks - these skills are the stepping stones to success. You will be provided opportunities to work with us on this journey through tips and strategies in our newsletters and events held here at school throughout the year.
Stay connected with us on Facebook, Dojo, and our website for updates and insights into our journey.
Thank you for being a part of our incredible NeighborWood community, where we're Leading and Learning every day!
Angela Brown, Principal

Make sure your child is ready to exit the car when you stop in the line. Also, make sure you are letting your child out where you are directed to let them out. Anywhere on the sidewalk is fine. We love seeing our students opening the door and exiting the vehicle on their own to get to the classroom quickly. Thank you!
