Wishing all of our #LifeintheW friends and family a safe and happy 4th of July! The district will be closed on Tuesday, July 4 in observance of the holiday.
Officer Hansen stopped by Wildcat Summer Adventures for a meet and greet with students. We learned all about what a School Resource Officer (SRO) does, and the students had so many fun questions for her. Thank you Officer Hansen and the Gurnee Police Department for being such great community partners!
Woodland Administrators took a celebration tour across the district to surprise Woodland retirees at their office or in their classroom with gifts and well wishes. We wish all of our retirees a happy retirement! Thank you for your dedicated service to the Woodland learning community and your many contributions to #LifeintheW
Our summer adventure Wildcats have arrived and they are ready for a great day! When the students arrived, they made their way to the cafeteria to meet their teachers. Plenty of Woodland staff and administrators on hand to greet our summer friends and help them find their table. Excited smiles to see friends and previous teachers waiting in the cafeteria! #LifeintheW
Woodland Primary Honors Staff at the Years of Service Celebration!
Joe Wenner is Woodland's Bus Driver of the Year!
Thousands of Woodland students (and their parents) depend on our bus drivers for a safe ride to and from school. Mr. Joe was recognized by his fellow Transportation coworkers as someone who has gone above and beyond his duties as a driver, has an excellent safety score, and is always kind to others. He takes the time to get to know the students on his route, and greets their families with a friendly smile. Mr. Joe has a great attendance record, and he is a trusted mentor and leader for other drivers.
Congratulations Mr. Joe, and thank you for all you do in service to our learning community!
The students at Woodland Primary learned all about amphibians and reptiles from the Frog Lady! They had the opportunity to meet snakes, frogs, lizards and other friends from around the world, and learn about their habitats, what they eat, and how they protect themselves from predators. #LifeintheW
Woodland Primary has a new mural to promote being KIND! Staff and students painted all the hearts to form the letters, and Woodland's TRIN (TRanslation & INterpretation) Team helped with the translations. Great teamwork makes beautiful artwork. #LifeintheW

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.
