Woodrow Families:

We have created this blog to post announcements related to Woodrow Wilson High School. While we will continue to use School Messenger's call out and email features, this site will allow us to host helpful links and routine updates. You can also use the button above to subscribe so that posts are emailed to you if that is easier. 

Yesterday it was announced that in order "to slow the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the community, all Dallas ISD schools will close indefinitely. This action follows advice from the Dallas County Health and Human Services department (DCHHS)." Read more here.

Despite this wealth of information, I know there are many questions that are still unanswerable at this time. Your primary goal right now should be taking care of yourself and your loved ones by following the CDC guidance on social distancing and hygiene. 

Over the next few days we will post additional information in preparation for At-Home Learning. 

Thank you all for your patience and support during this time.

March 24th, 2020 - Day One, In the Books

Image
Whew. Yesterday was a tough day. Out of District emails got bounced back. The phone rang off the hook. Food ran out way too early (This will be fixed for Thursday). Between these tasks, I jumped in and out of Skype, Zoom, and Hangouts before heading to home to help my sons with their online modules at about 6:00 PM. We are very fortunate to both be working right now, but juggling being a teacher, employee, and parent at the same time will take some getting used to. I'm sure your day was just as challenging, if not harder. Thank you for persevering. Seeing our staff come together and the agency of students were the highlights of the day. Continue to visit  WWHS COVID-19 Response Virtual Classroom Reference Sheet (Community-Facing)  for Google Classroom and Remind codes . Students came steadily for Chromebooks and emailed for support. If students still need a computer, please bring them to the horseshoe Thursday between 10 and 1 PM. If you need tech support, please call  972
