Wilkins Elementary School students were the lucky recipients of a visit by the Educational Partnership. They received boxes of supplies including pencils, crayons, pens, markers, rulers, boxes of Kleenex, just to name a few. They were afforded these gifts through a grant obtained by Mrs. Bloch, Principal of Wilkins. The teachers are able to visit the warehouse of the Educatuional Partnership four times a year to gather at least $400 worth of supplies, books, and sometimes even furniture. We thank the Partnership for selecting our school and helping our teachers and children to partake in this generous endeavor.

The Wilkins Elementary staff would like to invite parents and community members to our annual Holiday Sing-A-Long on Thursday December 19th at 2:00pm in the gymnasium of Wilkins Elementary.

The Woodland Hills Blended Learning Academy provides an alternative to traditional schooling.  We employ technology to provide an educational option for the student who needs greater flexibility in his or her schedule.  This learning can happen in many differentiated settings…in the classroom, at home, on the road, or wherever an internet connection can be found.

At Woodland Hills Blended Learning Academy, we are creating a virtual classroom with a customized curriculum presented via the web and developed by our own Woodland Hills staff.   Our students are able to interact with state certified teachers, administrators, and other classmates through email, telephone, weekly meetings, and quarterly progress reviews.  On-site support classes are conducted every week with independent projects, discussion boards, video telecasts and web-based research assignments to complete on the days in which live classes are not held. 

The world has gone digital. Internet service has become essential for success. That's why Comcast created Internet Essentials.
