From the Principal Dear North Woods Families,
Hustle and Howl Fun Run Our second annual Hustle and Howl Fun Run is right around the corner on October 12 and 13 for both hybrid and distance students! Donations will be all online this year and money raised will go towards an addition to our playground! Due to local health guidelines, we will not have spectators at the event, but keep an eye out for photos to be shared after the event! Thank you in advance for your support of our school community! Go North Woods Wolves! Go to North Woods' Pledgestar webpage to make your donation!
Did You Know? Important Zoom Information In order to maintain a safe and secure environment for all learners, it is imperative that when students are preparing to participate in a Zoom meeting, they are using their District-issued iPad, using the Zoom app, and logged in with their district username and password. During our Friday Fun with the specialist team last week, there were many unknown participants requesting to enter the meetings. Going forward, specialists will not be able to allow unknown participants into these Zoom meetings. If you are unsure of how to set up your child's iPad with Zoom, follow these instructions.
Technology Assistance To ensure the safety for all, we are requesting the following process be followed for all technology assistance:
