New Families

Welcome to Woodland!

We consider it a great privilege to be a part of your child's educational journey, and we look forward to getting to know each of you. The beginning of a new school year is always exciting. We know you may have questions, and we hope most of those are answered here. Please contact either one of us directly for any questions you may have.

If you don’t find what you need here, please call Patty Hudson, Administrative Assistant, at 901-685-0976. If she doesn’t know the answer to your question, she will find out for you! We are so very glad you are joining the Woodland family!
