The Cub Corner
"EXPECT EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING"
Greetings Amazing Woodward Mill Community!
I want to begin by thanking you for your PATIENCE this morning. We choose to pivot during car rider for safety and security. Just as a coach, I decided to pull our coaches (teachers) and our players (students) off the field as it was raining profusely as well as lightning. We didn’t want our teachers outside with metal rod umbrellas or our students walking so far during the inclement weather. We apologize for any inconvenience. Again, thank for your support and understanding as we put our CUBS first. We are here to S.E.R.V.E.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Your principal,
Dr. Brown

What is ParentSquare?
Gwinnett County Public Schools has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called Parent Square. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with your child's school and Gwinnett County Public Schools.
ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:
- Weather-related closings and delays
- School and class information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Upcoming class activities.
Beginning July 18, 2023, district and school information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text via ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iPhones and Android devices).

What does this mean for school communication?
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!
