All students enrolled at Columbia Elementary School, North Fork Elementary School, Yale Elementary School, Woodland Middle School, and Woodland High School will be expected to attend school in-person
Woodland Public Schools will fully reopen with full-time in-person learning for all students (K-12) in the upcoming 2021-2022 school year beginning Tue., Aug. 31, 2021.
“Most students are more successful in a comprehensive, in-person learning environment surrounded by their peers and caring adults,” said State Superintendent Chris Reykdal in a release on May 13. “Extended time in remote and hybrid learning has had negative impacts on many of our students’ mental and behavioral health, as well as their engagement with and success in school.”
The announcement of the return to full-time in-person learning comes following the success of widespread vaccinations throughout Washington state along with mandatory health and safety guidelines including face coverings, hand hygiene, improved facility ventilation, cleaning and disinfecting, and strict reporting and responding processes for COVID-19.
As a result, all students enrolled at Columbia Elementary School, North Fork Elementary School, Yale Elementary School, Woodland Middle School, and Woodland High School will be expected to attend school in-person. Families with students currently enrolled in remote learning and/or hybrid options at those schools who want to continue remote learning will need to change their student’s enrollment to either Lewis River Academy (Grades K-8) or TEAM High School (Grades 9-12).
How to enroll a student in Lewis River Academy (Grades K-8)
For students in grades K-8, Lewis River Academy’s teachers Andrea Edwards (grades K-2), Teri Retter (grades 3-5) and Annika Dukes (grades 6-8) work with families to prepare curriculum solutions for all enrolled students. In addition to remote learning, students may participate in weekly in-person classroom lessons which include guest lecturers, hands-on activities, and other learning engagement opportunities.

How to enroll a student at TEAM High School (Grades 9-12)
TEAM High School offers high school students a path to earning a diploma which accommodates individual students’ life circumstances including full-time work, family responsibilities, or simply wanting the chance to finish high school early and get a jumpstart on their future.
Students prepare their lesson plans each week by meeting with one of the school’s two teachers, Jillian Domingo or Elizabeth Vallaire. Students can work on their studies from home from an internet-connected computer or can elect to work in-person at the TEAM High School facility where the school’s staff provides lesson support and in-person learning opportunities.
