Northwood Families - We hope this message finds you and your families healthy and enjoying summer.
As we continue working on the responsive plan for returning to education this fall, we are focusing on the health and safety of our students and staff along with the needs of our families. This tentative plan highlights just a few proactive measures the district is taking along with details of a plan for returning to education with the following options:
Option 1: Northwood School District (In-Person with Blended Options) - We will be using the 4-Phase plan as specified within the "Northwood Together" document.
Option 2: Northwood Virtual School (Virtual Setting) - Families may be unaware, but this option has existed for numerous years and is currently being updated. The district is working towards new and creative options for students to continue their education plan while having virtual options with Northwood teachers. This is an option that allows current Northwood students to enroll by simply contacting the office.
Please contact the school district with any questions as we continue to plan.

The Northwood School District held the second planning meeting yesterday and would like to thank all those that completed the survey that was recently sent out. The response was great. Responses of the survey were reviewed as we kicked off the collaboration. This feedback assisted in the progress towards the planning for the 2020-21 school year. The goal is to have a list of proactive health and wellness measures in place and a draft of our plan for returning to school which will be presented at the next Board meeting on July 16th. If you didn’t get a chance, please use this link to complete the survey. https://forms.gle/9Fq7mc1UdQgUaTwUA
This fall we will reopen school and education will resume in some capacity. Our goal is to determine how we can reopen the Northwood School District while keeping the health and safety of our students and staff a top priority. Use this link https://forms.gle/9Fq7mc1UdQgUaTwUA and take a few moments to complete the Back to School Survey in order for the Planning Committee to best meet the needs of our students and community as plans are solidified to return to school on August 20th.
Hello Northwood Families, Today, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) released their Education Forward: Safely and Successfully Reopening Wisconsin Schools guidance document. The Northwood School District will be looking at these guidelines very closely. There is also a small group of parents, community members, and school employees from different areas of the building (Administration, Teachers, Food Service, Safety Coordinators, School Board Member, etc.) that are working on a responsive plan for reopening our school for next school year.
