Congratulations to our newest NJHS members! Last night, 89 amazing 7th graders made a commitment to be leaders in the WMS community through scholarship, service, character, and citizenship.
In honor of Crossing Guard Appreciation Day, here is a photo of an actual ray of sunshine! Angelo White is the crossing guard at Washington Street and Almond Road outside of Woodland Middle School. Every day he is out there spreading joy and keeping our students safe. It's impossible not to smile when Angelo is on the job. Thank you for all you do!

Register for Wildcat Summer Adventures!
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.
