School Goverance Council Election

Woodland Elementary School will be electing new representatives to serve on the School Governance Council.  There is one parent/guardian position and one teacher position open for election this spring. Our School Governance Council has a leadership role in the governance of the school.  The Council works with the principal on the long-term vision and strategy for the school. They are responsible for approving the school's strategic plan and budget recommendations, as well as design innovative solutions to increase academic achievement and meet the unique needs of our school community.  This past year, our Council worked diligently to submit three (3) request for flexibility to:

• Create a state approved course in Engineering for elementary school
• Modify four (4) calendar days to allow for Professional Learning related to our STEM initiative and Common Formative Assessments.
• Hire full or part time personnel who do not posses traditional teacher certification (Alternate Certification) specifically personnel with STEM related educational and/or experiential knowledge and skills

Elections for the parent/guardian and teacher position on the School Governance Council will be held May 13th - 15th.  Candidates interested in running for an elected position on the Council must complete a candidate declaration form and submit to the district office by April 25th!

Kindergarten Roundup

​Please join us for Woodland's Kindergarten Roundup on Thursday, May 8, 2014 at 8:30 AM.  This is a great opportunity for your child to become familiar with our school and some of our kindergarten teachers. They will also meet some of their kindergarten friends.  During this time, your child will visit a kindergarten classroom and complete a kindergarten activity.  Your child will also take a tour of a school bus and practice going through the cafeteria line to pick up a snack.  We are so excited to have your family join our Woodland Wildcat family. See you there!
