Welcome to Woods Creek School! Our school opened in the fall of 1997 and we have been fortunate to establish a strong school community since that time. Our school has just under 800 students in grades K-5. We have approximately 55 certified staff including classroom teachers and our learning specialists. Students and parents have an opportunity to request a type of classroom environment in first and fourth grade. We have traditional grade classes for students as well as ten multiage classes for students in grades 1 and 2 as well as students in grades 4 and 5. A variety of activities are available to our student community throughout the year. We encourage parents to visit this site regularly for current information as well as check your child's backpack each day for information that is sent home with students. Please contact our school office whenever you have any questions.
