Northwood Families and Friends,
Based on inquiries, feedback and the perceived need for our communities, the Northwood School District has been looking into the idea of creating an early learning center for infants and toddlers within our current building. There are many areas in the north woods of Wisconsin that are referred to as the “daycare desert” due to the fact there are few group child care centers. We have already connected with some key members in our community and we are also exploring potential partnerships with our local businesses including Jack Link’s plant, which is our largest employer in the District.
To learn more about this venture, please attend one of the two scheduled informational and listening sessions. One of these sessions will be held at Jack Link’s Aquatic and Activity Center on Saturday, April 15th from 10:00am til noon and the other on Monday, April 17th from 5:30pm til 7:30pm in the commons at the school district. We want to hear your input and look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions. If you’re unable to attend one of the listening sessions, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Kelly at scot_kelly@northwoodk12wi.com for questions.
