April 7th, 2020 - Assistant Principal's Week


This is Assistant Principal's Week. 

After a big win at the Senior Lock-In

I love these guys. I'm sure none of them knew what they were getting into when they came on board, and that was before a pandemic. 
  • Mr. Wood has done an amazing job working with the science/engineering groups, teaming with Ms. Anderson to support the Class of 2021, and improving facilities/safety.
  • Dr. Borrego is one of the best listeners in the building. He's built community within the ELAR department, invested in improving EL support, and helped shepherd our sophomores with Ms. Mervine. His birthday was this past weekend, too. 
  • Other than blowing a call at first base in a Wildcat scrimmage (j/k), Mr. Meaker has been an incredible asset to campus. He's jumped in to look after our seniors, oversee technology, improve our 504 process, and advocate for our Social Studies department.  
And they all do so much more. They're truly great men, and we're fortunate to have them at Woodrow. I am better because of them and hope you all feel the same way. Make sure to show them some virtual love and appreciation this week.

Summer College Advising from ASP

Summer College Advising from ASP Please see the note below from our Academic Service Provider (ASP) regarding summer support: While this summer looks a little bit different than years previous, we are still offering  summer college advising  for students who want to participate.  We have set up a Remind account to push out information for families that want to stay informed and ASP is starting to pilot some college access initiatives in Google classroom with students participating in our summer activities.    ASP Summer Intern Programming  We have  six interns  from the University of Chicago this summer.   Three of them are our own alumni and the other three are from the DFW area.   One is an international student who attended high school in the United States and has a lot to share about what that process was like, especially when she found out that a lot of colleges wouldn't consider her for financial aid after she had applied.  All of our interns made their college
