Huge shout out to the families who joined us tonight for our 5th grade parent night. We had a wonderful turn out as families learned about all things 5th grade! Topics discussed were curriculum, end of the year field trip, our house system, Tag Art, attendance and behavior expectations, and sponsorship for fifth grade events. We can’t wait for a great year in 5th grade. #70YearsStrong #TheWoodlawnWay #thebestisyettocome

A large group of people, including adults and children, are seated at cafeteria tables with attached benches. They are facing a stage area where a presentation is being shown on a screen. The cafeteria has blue floors and white ceiling tiles.
Tuesday, we celebrated National IT Professional’s Day by honoring these two IT Queens, Annie Noethlich and Kim Gauger! These ladies work hard to keep us online and ask us our favorite question, “Have you tried restarting?” They also are there when you need them and help us handle all things tech on our campus. We are thankful for their impact and celebrate them for their contribution to The Woodlawn Way. #70yearsstrong #TheBestisYettoCome #TheWoodlawnWay

Help! Our lost and found is overflowing and the lonely items are starting to form a band! We've got jackets, lunchboxes, and even enough water bottles to keep an NFL team hydrated.

Have your student swing by the cafeteria stage to reunite with lost treasures. A friendly reminder: labeling items with a first and last name is the secret to a happy reunion!

A group of people, likely teachers and staff, smiles as they serve themselves BBQ from a buffet-style lunch in a school room. The table is covered with a red and white checkered cloth, and the food includes pulled pork, baked beans, and mac and cheese.

Who needs Disney when you have Woodlawn? Wednesday was our Tall Tales Character Dining experience. Our 2nd graders traded in their schools clothes for buffalo plaid and chowed down on flapjacks and sausage prepared by our amazing parents. They also had a chance to meet real life Tall Tale Characters like Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Casey Jones. Learning is fun when you do it #TheWoodlawnWay

Open House 2025-2026 is in the books! What an amazing event as we said welcome back to our returning Eagles and welcomed new families to our nest. Thank you for everyone’s patience with parking and being flexible as we work to accommodate our growing school. The office will be open the rest of the week to assist with students needing to still register or in case you missed taking care of any transportation or clinic needs. We can’t wait to see students on Monday!

A huge Woodlawn Shout Out to this amazing crew from Ed’s Barbershop and The Barber’s Code who knocked out over 30 back to school haircuts for kids! They donated their time to give back to our Woodlawn families and we couldn’t be more grateful. Even WES the Eagle got his feathers trimmed. Community partners are a HUGE part of The Woodlawn Way!

Ms. Henderson and Mr. Wright had the opportunity to spend time with Highlands County Bus Drivers! We had the privilege to share about building relationships, using preventative measures to improve behavior, and collaborating with schools for a unified front for our students and families. We couldn’t do our work without this special group of people and we look forward to continued collaboration because we are truly one team! #TheBestisYettoCome #70YearsStrong #BusDriversareHeroes
