Woodland Public Schools announces transition to in-person school for all students

Woodland Public Schools proudly announces that all students will transition to either hybrid schedules or full in-person learning over the coming weeks.

The transition to in-person learning was made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Woodland and Ariel communities in reducing the spread of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus. “We are incredibly grateful to our community members for taking this disease seriously and following recommended safety guidelines to reduce its spread,” said Michael Green, Superintendent of Woodland Public Schools. “Thanks to the efforts of our friends, neighbors and colleagues, all of our students will be able to return to school and receive at least some form of in-person learning by the first week of March.”

Due to the different sizes of each of Woodland Public Schools’ facilities and the different safety guidelines provided by Clark and Cowlitz counties’ health departments and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for different age groups, elementary students will be able to return to full in-person school while older students in middle and high school will transition to a hybrid schedule.
