Mission: To achieve academic and social excellence through quality instruction that promotes lifelong learning.
Vision: Woodward Mill will provide opportunities for all students to succeed to their fullest potential by enlisting combined support of teachers, parents, and community.
Theme: To S.E.R.V.E. our community with a purpose.
Woodward Mill is moving towards using ParentSquare as the main platform for teachers and administration to communicate with families. School Messenger (the means in which you are receiving communication from the school) will transition to Parent Square as of today. Beginning August 11, 2023, Cub Corner will be delivered via Parent Square. Please make sure that you have signed up for ParentSquare. We want to make sure that we communicate efficiently and in a timely manner with our Woodward Mill community.
For those of you who have not registered for ParentSquare yet, an activation invitation will be sent to your emails. We encourage you to activate your account as well as download the app for your phone.
Thank you!
