Wildcat Families:

We are so excited to welcome our freshman this week and the remainder of our in-person learners starting October 5. Students with the last names A-L will attend on Monday and Tuesday. Those with the last names M-Z will attend on Thursdays and Fridays. Those expected to attend on a Wednesday will be notified a week in advance.

We’ve heard your feedback and are working on creating a more interactive synchronous experience these next two weeks while we bring students back to school. Each teacher’s primary focus will be on reinforcing safety routines, so please be patient as we learn to navigate teaching students in-person and at home simultaneously. This is new for all of us. We’ll share more information with you all about instructional expectations on Wednesday.

Staying Connected

Please review the calendar hosted by the PTA for event information and register for the Membership Toolkit. We will begin shifting the Sunday email blast to their newsletter in order to reduce redundancies and streamline communication.

Thank you all for partnering with us to make Woodrow the exemplary school for teaching and learning. 

If your student is returning to campus, please note the update regarding backpacks. 

Students will be required to bring a mesh or clear backpack. If one cannot be obtained, students must notify their corresponding grade-level counselors (and/or PPE teacher) and a bag will be acquired for them. Students' items will be placed in a clear bag and the original backpack will be held in the main office with the student's name and ID number. (It is permissible for ladies to bring a private, small makeup bag or small flat pencil bag for required toiletries.) Students are encouraged to only bring necessary items, and leave trinkets or other unnecessary items at home.

And here is a reminder of the 2020-21 Woodrow Wilson dress code. 

Dallas County Promise is a coalition of school districts, colleges, universities, employers, and communities that have joined forces to help more Dallas County students complete college and begin careers. It provides tuition assistance, success coaching, and advising. On September 1, 2020, the Dallas County Promise Pledge opened for 2021 graduates. The deadline to complete the pledge is February 5, 2021. Visit the Dallas County Promise website for more information on the organization and upcoming deadlines.
