PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Wildcat families,
This was a tough week, yet I am constantly reminded the Woodrow community is incredible about coming together to support one another. Whether it be a grade level, team, program, or family, the group rallies to make sure all Wildcats are taken care of. These last two months are extremely important. Report cards will be mailed this week. As you monitor grades and attendance for your student, please continue to let teachers and counselors know how we can help. Thank you for partnering with us to make Woodrow the exemplary school for teaching and learning. Read on ...
