Principal
Dear Woodridge School Community,
Welcome to the 2024-25 School year at Woodridge School. Our school has several excellent traditions and student events, and I encourage you to be involved. Our school goal is to have your child receive an excellent education that allows them to grow into being their best. I look forward to serving the Woodridge school community as principal.
I share the following quote from Dr. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot’s book, The Essential Conversation, it sums up my beliefs about the importance of school to family partnerships:
To parents, their child is the most important person in their lives,
The one who arouses their deepest passions and greatest vulnerabilities,
The one who inspires their deepest advocacy and protection…
Their productive engagement with the teacher is essential for the child’s learning and growth, and for parents’ peace of mind.
I look forward to partnering with you as a team to help each student to have a successful year!
It is always a GREAT DAY to be a Woodridge Wildcat!
Best,
Dr. Marty Powers
