Woodland School Parents' Association
WSPA is the Woodland School Parents’ Association. WSPA’s mission is to build community at Woodland School.
The mission of the Woodland School Parents Association (WSPA) is to create and promote the sense of community that we at Woodland value and cherish. All parents are members of WSPA. The association is led by volunteer parents and coordinates special activities and fun events for the school.
The WSPA Board invites all parents to be part of this wonderful experience by taking on a role that best fits their busy lives. Do as little or as much as you can; every hour you spend volunteering makes it possible for us to achieve our goals in making our children’s experience at Woodland a joyous one.
All current Woodland families are automatically part of WSPA.
WSPA meetings are held virtually the third Thursday of each month and all parents are welcome to attend! Please email wspa@woodland-school.org for log in details.
