Woodland Intermediate will be creating a large-scale art project with Artist Damon Lamar Reed, thanks to funding and support from the Woodland PTA 50. Today the students, staff, and several parent volunteers had the opportunity to meet Mr. Reed and begin the conceptual work of compiling words, pictures, symbols, and ideas that help tell the story of who we are as a school community. The students were ALL IN with great ideas. Several themes emerged around ideas of family, friendship, and belonging. Many students talked about how important it is to express yourself, and to be happy being YOU.
Stay tuned to Mr. Sheldon's newsletter for project updates! #LifeintheW
Woodland Primary hosted a Kindergarten Sneak Peek event on Saturday, May 13. Incoming Kindergarten students came to see what #LifeintheW was all about. Welcome to Woodland little ones! We can't wait to help you grow.

Incoming Kindergarten Night at Woodland Primary
Parents and Guardians were invited to Primary to learn more about incoming kindergarten from a panel of teachers to answer their questions.
First Graders at Woodland Elementary celebrated the "Day of the Child", or Día Del Niño with a game day! The students were able to bring board games from home to play with friends. The children traveled to other classrooms so that Dual Language classes and Monolingual classes could come together to meet new friends through play. Some of the most popular games were Guess Who?, Lotería, Sorry, and “Climb and Slide” (Chutes and Ladders)!
Woodland Intermediate P.E. students run the mile during Presidential Fitness Testing.
We are proud of these students for trying hard and giving it their best effort.
We are also proud of the students you see cheering in the photo. They stopped what they were doing during recess to encourage their classmates and cheer for the runners.
Woodland Elementary Students Visit the Dunn Museum!
Students learned about Native Americans in Lake County, and saw the Dunn Museum's oldest artifact (a fossil estimated to be 420 million years old)! It was a great day of learning history with a local twist.
Woodland Elementary students and their families made time to PLAY! Family Fun Nights for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade were a big hit.
The Illinois Principals Association hosted a Student Recognition Breakfast on Thursday morning, and two WMS students were recognized for showing great leadership and character. Congratulations to Xavier and Natacha on receiving this recognition. Thank you for representing your school and we applaud you for this achievement. Way to go Wildcats!

Wildcat Summer Adventures is Woodland's summer school program, delivered in a summer camp setting with tons of outdoor activities and hands-on learning.
Saturday Study Hall & Homework Help Begins Dec. 10!
Woodland will begin offering a Saturday Study Hall & Homework Help program on Saturday mornings starting Dec. 10. Teachers may recommend a student attends, or parents may register their child, based on the student's academic needs. Whether a student needs assistance in a specific content area, or they just need a quiet place to study or work on a project, this program is meant to be flexible.
The program will be offered on Saturday mornings from 8 - 11 a.m. at Woodland Intermediate, and registration is required each week so that we can plan accordingly for staff.
