From the Principal
Dear North Woods Families,
Our students have been demonstrating amazing PACK PrIde throughout the school year. Our students in both the Distance Choice and in-person learning models regularly show perseverance, accountability, community and kindness.
The North Woods PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) team met a couple of weeks ago to assess our progress this year as well as to begin making plans for the upcoming school year. We are confident that this framework will continue to enhance the North Woods experience for all participants.
I hope that you and your family are well.
With gratitude,
Jenny Berg
