Elementary students enjoyed the traditional caroling event today. O what fun singing and dancing to our favorite songs!
Santa Claus visited our elementary students, and every child received a special gift! This was made possible through the Student Santa Project from Cape Girardeau. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and for bringing so much joy to our students. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Woodland R-IV School Board of Education and district leadership are continually evaluating ways to best support student learning, staff well-being, and responsible use of district resources. We are committed to serving the needs of our students and families while being mindful of the unique circumstances of our rural community. As part of this ongoing effort, the district is reviewing the potential transition to a four-day school week.
This review is intended to help us better understand how a four-day school week could affect student learning, instructional time, transportation routes and travel distances, staffing recruitment and retention, extracurricular activities, and district finances. We understand that families in our community balance school schedules with work, childcare, agriculture, and other responsibilities. Community input will be a vital part of this process. With that, we ask that you complete the short survey, which should take no more than five minutes, to better understand your perspective. https://forms.gle/hTPwWxDpL82Dexfg7
Our goal remains to provide a high-quality education for our students while supporting the long-term sustainability of our schools and respecting the needs of our families and staff. Thank you for your continued support of the Woodland R-IV School District. We value our strong community partnerships and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Cole Byassee, Superintendent of Schools

Woodland School District is working with the Southeast Regional Professional Development Center (RPDC) to rewrite our long-range plan called CSIP (Continuous School Improvement Plan). A part of this process involves getting input from all stakeholders in our community.. The RPDC conducted focus group discussions with each of these groups and has developed an online survey. The information will help identify goals and focus for the next three to five years.

Here is our rootEd Newsletter. We have been doing a lot lately and here are a couple pictures. We have been to the SEMO College Fair (which is an event that students can network and get their name out to other colleges, and they can explore what they have to offer). We also went to Build My Future (which is an event that students can go to and explore businesses, trades, and other interesting careers). We have had a lot of fun so far this year and I can't wait to experience more with these great students. #rootEdMissouri
