The Middle School Marching Band students have been working hard and having fun this week at band camp! They are looking forward to performing in the Gurnee Days Parade on Sunday!🎶
We have two very important reasons for sharing this photo.
1. Help us give a warm #LifeintheW welcome to Roberto Ochoa Barajas and David Gonzalez! They have joined the Operations and Facilities team as Facility Managers and they have been doing ALL of the things to get our buildings and grounds ready for the school year. They are capable, resourceful, experienced, and all around great people who are ready to jump in and help whenever/wherever needed.
2. Speaking of jumping in wherever they are needed, Roberto and Dave will be representing Woodland this Saturday in the Gurnee Days Rib Eating Contest! They are fierce competitors with the appetites of a Wildcat. Nothing can stop their hunger to win. 🐯😂

Did you miss the Returning Student Registration Deadline? There is still time to register! Log in to Skyward Family Access ASAP to finish this important task. https://www.dist50.net/o/dist50/page/skyward-family-access
Thank you to the 79% of families who are already registered for the 2024-2025 School Year. 💚
UPDATE: We did not turn off access to Skyward like we have done in the past. This year we have decided to leave it open so that you can complete this process in the system, rather than work one-on-one with someone in the Registration office. But remember, if you do not complete registration and proof of residency you will NOT be able to see your child's teacher when we release that information in Skyward.

Summer Series: What happens at the school district while students are on summer break? The Operations & Facilities Team was on hand to accept delivery of new district copiers. The Board of Education approved a new 5-year lease for walk-up copiers at the May 2024 Governing Meeting. The O&F team will pass this project along to the Tech Department who will be working with our vendor to manage the installation of the new copiers throughout the month of July and August so they are ready for the new school year. #LifeintheW
