Virtual Veteran’s Day-
This is a great tribute to our Veterans. You may recognize many of these names and pictures from the Woodland community. The video was produced by Jeff Flanagan and our leadership class for Veterans Day since we couldn’t hold our annual assembly. We salute our patriots!

Fall Conferences
We hosted our first ever “Virtual” fall conferences. Parents signed up via Skyward and attended via Google Meets. We had approximately 71% of families attend. This was a positive opportunity to have conversations with homeroom teachers, look at grades, and troubleshoot issues.
Art Online
Our art teacher, Nicole Caulfield produced a virtual art show with our advanced art students this fall. Notice the theme of "Smoke" is applicable to recent events. Please take a look at these personalized works tied to what was happening in our community.

Student Recognition
Each teacher selects one student from each of their classes to be recognized as a student of the week. They are recognized in class and get an online certificate. Their names are compiled and we have a drawing for a $5 gift card from local business that is mailed home or picked up at the WMS office. The goal is to recognize as many students as we can to keep students motivated, encouraged, and engaged in remote learning. Students who are drawn for a reward each week are also listed in the Monthly Newsletter. Here are some of the past winners of the drawing:
The following is the number of students who have been recognized by a teacher from 10/12-11/6:
Title I Virtual Meeting
We hosted our annual Title I meeting virtually this year calling it Coffee and Conversations. This was an opportunity to share our Title plan and answer questions for parents who have children in our reading intervention program. We gave away coffee cards since we had to do this remotely.
