What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, October 4, 2014

I have had at least one children, sometimes more in a year, at Woodland Elementary for almost 10 years. In 2013, they adopted a new program known as "Leader in Me." It is based on the book,'Seven Habits for Happy Kids'. I think this program is EXACTLY what these students need. I have seen tremendous changes when I'm at the school. It is evident when you go to school functions that the students are enjoying these new 'habits' they are learning and more importantly demonstrating. The teachers and staff are teaching the students how to be proactive, put first things first, and so on. I hear my own kids talking the same 'language' when they come home. Plus, the habits are incorporated in their learning, the school has been painted to encourage the kids, new student 'leadership' jobs have been put in place. I think the adoption of this program is one of the best decisions this school has made. I think it looks nice to walk in this school and see students in a relaxed dress code. Goodness, it's jeans, navy, khaki pants, solid pools or school shirts. I've seen much stricter dress codes! Besides, it puts the kids on a more level playing field, I think. I disagree with the other reviewer's remarks regarding the changes that have been occurring at Woodland. I say, Woodland keep it up!! You are creating Leaders!!! Close Quote

public school that has the leader and me and 7 habits being taught to the students without any say from parents. it is a mormon teaching and thus, religious which has no place in any public school system. then out of the dozens of schools in the county this one makes you buy cloths to meet they're dress code and pay for class supplies along with a mandatory agenda you have to pay for so they can violate your constitutional rights and teach religion. very poor communication with parents, worse school yet. i see why they are ranked almost the worse school Close Quote
