Friday, April 22nd, the school celebrated Earth Day around the campus. Here are a few of the things that our students do to help take care of our home. Have a look!
Parent Education
On a sunny morning in April several students took time to hunt for some fun and prizes! Have a look.
Friday, March 4th was a cloudy day overhead but our younger children were beaming as they paraded around the west campus for Rodeo Day.
Have a look at the slideshow!
This school year, masked students were good natured about having their temperatures taken each day in the carpool line. Temperature-takers were given the opportunity to meet family members, including the four legged and stuffed variety! Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe!
Featuring First Day of School, Woods High School Construction, Camp Cho-Yeh, Re-accreditation, Crow Canyon, and more. Now available to download.

On August 8, at 7:30 pm, The Buzz Magazines is hosting a special free screening at Back to School Buzz Night at Studio Movie Grill City Centre. The film will be followed by a discussion about growing up in the digital age.
This award winning film delves into family discussions and struggles over social media, video games, and academics; offering solutions to help children, and adolescents, navigate the digital world.
If you missed the screening that School of the Woods sponsored last year, you have another chance to see this compelling film.
We highly recommend that you and your children over the age of 9 take advantage of this opportunity.

As their final project at School of the Woods, the Woods High School Seniors (12th grade) present their Senior Thesis to the school community, their advisors, and their Senior Thesis Teacher.
Below is a listing of their thesis titles, the name of the student, and the date and time of the presentation. You are invited to attend these presentations.
The presentations take place in Woods High School.
We ask that you arrive a few minutes prior to the start time and stay through the entire presentation. Once the presentation starts, you will not be permitted to enter the room and you must stay until the end.
We hope you are able to attend and support the students while hearing about a topic that interests you. This is a great way to learn about Woods High School and the Senior Thesis Program.

I hear from parents regularly about their frustrations that although they set limits around their phones and game consoles when it’s time to do homework, they then have found out that the child/teen simply resumes their social media interactions and gaming on their homework device, i.e. tablets, laptops or desktops.
So you can be better prepared to stop these workarounds, I’ve outlined what popular apps and games work on which devices.
