 Thank you all for taking advantage of the educational experiences our teachers continue to create. Engaging in this work will prepare students for future coursework and professional expectations when they graduate. 

 Managing academic expectations and personal responsibilities requires a thoughtful balance. Please know you are not in this alone. The images below outline various supports:

Great news for the Class of 2020:
State Fair scholarships that were awarded last week (a major increase in awards from last year -- put in dollars, that's a $30,000 jump!) and there's more... Five additional students were each awarded a scholarship from the Exchange Club of East Dallas in the amount of $5,000 per year! (That's $80,000 awarded exclusively to Woodrow students! 

Remember, Student-Athlete/Booster Club scholarship applications are due today. UPcoming deadlines include the Frontline ER scholarship, the Vinson & Elkins scholarships, and the NDSA Book scholarship. 

So far, this brings us to $8.8 million in scholarships/financial aid and counting (with many more students that still need to turn in award offers. Our goal is $15 million.

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
