With the ongoing uncertainty regarding the availability of SNAP benefits for our students and families, the Woodland Hills School District has compiled a list of resources and services available to families in need.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to school social workers, building administrators, or district administration if your family is in need. The Woodland Hills School District is here to help in any way possible.
