Important Message from Woodland D50

We are expecting high temperatures as a heat wave continues to build in our area over the next few days. According to the National Weather Service, the peak of the heat wave will be on Tuesday when we will move from a Heat Advisory to an Excessive Heat Watch.

Woodland will be implementing several safety measures to help keep your Wildcat cool.

• All Woodland P.E. Classes will be held indoors, and strenuous activity will be limited
• Recess will be held indoors until high temperatures return to more normal levels
• The Middle School has moved tryouts for fall sports indoors
• The Operations & Facilities (O+F) team will be monitoring Woodland cooling systems to make sure everything is running as expected
• Shades will be drawn to keep out additional heat from sunlight throughout the day
• Students will be encouraged to take water breaks and stay hydrated

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child's school principal or the Health Office at your child's school.
