Student Behavior at Woodlands

September 8, 2026

Dear Woodlands Families,

What a wonderful first week of school! It has been a joy welcoming our Wildcats back and seeing Woodlands filled with energy, smiles, and excitement.

At Woodlands, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming learning environment where every student feels they belong. An important part of that commitment is maintaining high standards, high expectations, and high accountability for every Wildcat.

Our schoolwide ROAR expectations help students understand what that looks like throughout the school day:

R – Respectful
O – Organized
A – Always Safe
R – Responsible

We teach, practice, and reinforce these expectations in classrooms and throughout our school. You can view our Woodlands ROAR Expectation Posters for different school settings here:

Our expectations also align with the Central Kitsap School District Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, which outlines student rights, responsibilities, behavior expectations, and discipline procedures:

Families are an essential part of this work. Please talk with your child about your expectations for their behavior at school, treating others with kindness and respect, and how their choices help make Woodlands safe and welcoming for everyone.

Together, we can make Woodlands a place where every Wildcat is known, valued, supported, and challenged to grow.

Thank you for your partnership, and here’s to a wonderful year of learning, belonging, and ROARing together!

With appreciation,

Karen McCormick

Principal
