One of the most anticipated Back to School events is coming tomorrow! Teacher assignments will be available on Friday, Aug. 9 after 10 a.m. in Skyward Family Access. https://www.dist50.net/o/dist50/page/skyward-family-access Long post - but hopefully it will answer a few common questions/concerns in advance. (Look for more specific information for your school from your principal in weekly newsletters) BEFORE YOU CALL… If you do not see your student’s information after 10 a.m. 💚 It may mean that you still need to complete a few final steps in the registration process. (Complete the process in Skyward.) 💚 New registrations are still being processed and some of our new students have not yet been placed. 💚 Not everything pushes through the system at exactly 10 a.m. Give it a little bit of time to populate just in case! If you do not see a teacher listed for your child: 💚 We are still working on finalizing a few new hires and staffing changes, so some students may not see a teacher assignment until all hiring is complete. This will be coming soon! CALL VOLUME… 💚 We expect that the Registration Department will be experiencing an increase in call volume on Friday once this information goes live. Please remember that this is a very small team of individuals and they are still helping new families register and responding to a number of other urgent beginning of the school year tasks. We appreciate your patience as it may take a few days to get back to you. COMMENTS ABOUT TEACHERS… 💚 Social media is a great place to connect with other parents to find who else is in your child’s class. Please remember that many of our teachers live in the community and may see your comments about your past experiences and interactions with Woodland staff. Even if a teacher wasn’t the best match for your child, they may be the perfect match for another child. Help us keep the conversation positive and productive as we continue to build excitement for the start of school. TRANSPORTATION… 💚 Basic bus route information will be available in Skyward this year, but for a more detailed schedule for those with busing needs that fluctuate throughout the week, please refer to Versatrans e-Link. https://versatransweb04.tylertech.com/.../elinkrp/Login.aspx 💚 Bus times will continue to adjust slightly over the next few weeks as new students are added to the bus routes, so check back closer to the start of school for the most accurate information. Hope that helps answer a few of your questions! #LifeintheW

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.
