General Info ~ Start here!

Dear Woodin Families,

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year! I am so excited to reconnect with all of our amazing Wildcat readers and meet our new Wildcats as well! I can't wait to hear about the wonderful adventures you have taken and the exciting stories you have read over the summer break.

As we begin this very unusual school year, I want to make you aware of some online reading resources that you will find on this page. Although students will no longer be coming here for weekly library lessons, they can still access helpful online content here as well as information about upcoming library related events. Be sure to check back often!

Click on the panels below OR click on the green button to navigate to more great resources!

Warmly,

Mrs. Chmiel
