From the Principal
Dear North Woods Families,
We had our final PTO meeting of the year on Tuesday evening. I am so grateful for our North Woods families and their commitment to our school. A big thanks to Laura Benson for leading the PTO for the past two school years. We are looking forward to returning to a more typical school year in the fall.
Our Distance Choice format has been a huge success at North Woods this year. Our teachers and students in this model have created a new normal that has been both highly innovative and engaging. Our final materials pick up is on May 28. A huge shout out to Chris Bradbury, who has facilitated the materials transactions through sun, rain, and snow!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.
With gratitude,
Jenny Berg
