Events

Back  to School Night

It’s an evening where your child’s teachers will explain their goals for the class and for your child.  The teachers will share information about what your child will be learning and their teaching style and methodology. Parents will learn how teachers grade and the requirements needed to get a good grade.  Parents will find out about supplies their child will need to be successful that year and upcoming projects, events, or assignments.

Awards Ceremony

Will C. Wood’s awards ceremony is an event dedicated to recognizing students for their outstanding academic achievement and improvement.  

Honor Roll 

To make the Honor Roll, students must have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher (which is a “B” average). Students cannot have any D’s or F’s, nor any N’s. If students have straight A’s, he/she will be awarded the Principal’s List certificate, our highest honor! 

Honor Roll assemblies are held after the end of each quarter except for 4th quarter.  Stay tuned and watch out for invitations that are sent home with the students..
