Woodland Elementary Parent Paw Pact

Woodland's Parent Paw Pact is a way to help clarify how parents can be involved with their child's education, both at home and at school. In turn, our community will be stronger, better, and more connected! 

Throughout the year, parents will have various ways to get involved at Woodland, as outlined on the Paw Pact Card. When a parent completes a task or attends an event listed on the Paw Pact card, the student then receives the amount of points listed on the card for that particular task or event. Once a month, the Paw Pact Team will count your child's points and distribute prizes accordingly.

Class Dojo is utilized school wide to communicate with parents about your child's academic progress, behavior, and school/classroom events.

PTO is an organization that directly impacts your child's education. Without your support, the school community would not have as many resources or opportunities available.
