Green Fools Circus Arts Residency

Circus arts include a diverse range of physical and theatrical skills for performance – including object manipulation like juggling and balancing.  Thanks to the generosity of Woodlands School Council, we will have a week-long residency with Green Fools Circus Arts from December 15-19 during daily gym class. Parents will be invited to our showcase on Friday, December 19. Times will be provided next week. 

Digital Citizenship Plan 2025-26

This year, our goals are focused on the protection of student personal information and student critical thinking in digital environments. The actions in class that will support this are the creation and use of unique passwords for students to protect their personal information and work on CBE devices, and targeted, age-appropriate lessons for students’ critical thinking in digital spaces. The resource for this is Media Smarts, Canda’s hub for education, research and policy for digital literacy. On the Woodlands website, you will find our Digital Citizenship Plan for 2025-26 and our Admirable Use for Technology Plan that supports the appropriate use of technology for all students.
