IDs for All implementation continues. Students are expected to bring a Wootton ID to school each day that will be checked when entering the building. IDs must always be visible throughout the school day. Students who forget to bring an ID should receive a daily wristband. Students who have ordered replacement IDs should see a member of the security team to retrieve their ID.

MCPS Office of Strategic Initiatives, in partnership with Montgomery College and the Latino Student Achievement Action Group (LSAAG), hosted MCPS’ 3rd Annual High School Latina Legacy Conference at MC's Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus! Students from Wootton attended this event. The conference aims to empower, inspire, and unite MCPS Latina high school students and MCPS Latina leaders to reach their highest potential through workshops, panels, performances, and more. Thank you to Ms. Morejon for sponsoring our students on this experience.

Regular daily attendance is expected. It is critical to a child's academic success. Parent/caregiver support of regular daily attendance is essential. Parents/caregivers should provide a note within 3 days stating the reason for absence. This will ensure the absence is marked excused. Students who were absent from school have the responsibility to request make-up work from their teacher.
