How Do We Move to The Next Level?

Woodson K-8 Leadership Academy plans to make progress this year

We will need commitment from parents, teachers, and students in order to meet this goal

We are asking parents to partner with us by: Check your child’s book bag daily for homework, notes

from teachers and the school, and to contact your child’s teacher regular for progress updates

In an effort to have effective communication, we are asking you to update your contact information as it changes
