8th Grade Banquet is just a little over a week away!

All volunteers need a current credential from Bainbridge Island School District. Thanks for visiting the online BISD Volunteer application to make sure your clearance is renewed and current.
Thank you for supporting this special tradition!
NEXT YEAR'S BANQUET CHAIR:
Do you know anyone interested in chairing the banquet next year and who can take on planning this amazing event for the rising 8th graders? Please reach out to the WMS PTO President or this year's banquet chairs if you're interested! Ideally the 2031 Banquet team can step up in time to see this year's event and decide what they want to keep for next year.

If your child has a current Asthma Action Plan, Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan or 504 Healthcare plan, you received in the mail a new form to fill out for the 2026-2027 school year. The deadline to turn the form in is 5/22/26, but has been extended to 5/29/26.
Please update all the information on the form including the current provider and we can send the form to the provider listed on the form over the summer (if within Kitsap). You can email or drop off the completed form to the health room. If we do not receive the form, you are responsible for updating the form and obtaining the provider's signature BEFORE the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
If your child no longer needs this accommodation for next school year, please email the Woodward nurses at wms-nurses@bisd303.org or call 206-780-4511 to update.
Thank you!

WMS is at 37% Completion - Let's bring that up Wildcats!
Please help us plan for next year! If your student will not attend BISD in the fall, please contact WMS registrar Molly Webber at mwebber@bisd303.org.
All families must complete the ABC 26–27 process for each student, including returning and new students. To complete the process, log in to Family Access and select “ABC 26-27” from the left menu. The process takes about 15 minutes per child and helps BISD plan staffing, class sizes, and student services for next year.
A few helpful reminders:
- Only Primary Families can complete the ABC process.
- Be sure to click “Complete Step and Move to…” on each page.
- The final step requires two clicks: “Complete ABC 26-27” and then “Submit ABC 26-27.”
- You’ll receive an email confirmation once submitted.

Congratulations to next year’s ASB Officers! We are incredibly proud of every student who stepped up to run, share their voice, and put themselves out there—it takes real courage and heart to lead. These nine students were elected by their peers to help guide the student body next year, and we’re excited to see the energy, leadership, and school spirit they bring. To every candidate who ran: thank you for your bravery, enthusiasm, and commitment to making our school community stronger. |
In this unique art project, students transformed photography into mixed-media masterpieces by sewing directly onto their printed images. Using colorful thread and creative stitching techniques, they added depth, texture, movement, and vibrant pops of color that bring each piece to life in a whole new way. The result is a stunning blend of photography and fiber art that showcases both creativity and craftsmanship. |
We want to congratulate Charlotte Collins and Deirdre Fitzpatrick who have been selected as the 2026 CTE Students of the Year for Digital Photography at Woodward Middle School!
"This special recognition celebrates students who truly stand out. Both students demonstrate creativity, focus, going above and beyond, collaboration and full support of classroom management. Charlotte and Deirdre have made a meaningful impact in our program and we are proud to celebrate this accomplishment." - Mrs. Dutton
