Students have completed course requests for next year. We want you to know that these are requests. Our number one priority is making sure we are preparing students to be successful, so we will be taking a look at their requests, recommendations, & assessments as we move to scheduling this summer. Next year we will be running an eight period day with a double block for math and language arts. Students will also have access to exploratory classes that are year long or quarterly. We want you to know -- our staff LOVES and understands junior high. We want students to experience and get invovled in as much as they can at Wood. We will be working hard to squeeze in as many opportunities for ALL students to be invovled and be successful. If you have concerns or questions, please reach out to our guidance counselors, me, or our assistant principal.
