Re:       Monthly Woodland High School Report

 

Here is an overview of the key activities we worked on in relation to teaching and learning during January.

• Monday’s:

We had three Monday’s this month and used all three of them in department collaboration time.  Many of the departments were finalizing their final preparation.  We also read a professional article on questioning strategies and then had our departments talk about the various strategies and how they may be able to implement them in their individual classes.

• Finals: 

Another excellent year of finals.  There was a very good and appropriate tone in the high school as we ended the semester with finals.

• Other information:I thought I would mention that we currently have 31 students who were enrolled in “College in the High School” courses at Woodland High school taking a total of 173 college credits through Central Washington University. In addition to this number, we also have 28 students taking a total of 140 credits through Lower Columbia College (LCC).  This program has been a tremendous benefit for some of our students and with the recently awarded state grant of $10,000, we hope to have more students earning college credits while staying right here at Woodland High School. We held a wonderful FBLA regional competition at school on Monday, February 1^st which was attended by almost 350 students (including WHS) from around the region.  Special thanks to Mrs. Rose Ruff for her work in organizing this event. It was a wonderful way to showcase our new school to adults and students from the region.
