April 30th, 2020 - Student Survey, Senior Checklist

All Woodrow Students:

In an effort to get feedback on At-Home Learning, we have created a short student survey. We will use the information to make immediate adjustments if possible, provide targeted support to teachers, and plan for the future. Without knowing with certainty what that will look like, we want to have as much information as possible so that we can provide students with the best high school experience:



Senior Students and Families,

Congratulations for making it to the end of your senior year. We miss seeing your faces in the halls of Woodrow. I hope everyone is safe at home and taking care of their family and classes. We are working with the PTA to assess end of the year events. Prom was cancelled for this week, but we are discussing different options to still celebrate in different ways later in May or into the summer. Today between 3 - 4 PM, we hope you will drive through the Woodrow horseshoe by the Senior Lot to pick up a special Class of 2020 yard sign and see a few teachers. We will also verify the spelling of your name for printing on diplomas. 

We will utilize the same contactless procedures in place for meal distribution.
