Woodland Park Middle School

WPMS is committed to building a community cultivating leadership, compassion, and perseverance. We believe all students are scholars who will meet or exceed grade-level proficiencies- prepared for high school and beyond.

This new vision will guide our decisions and will focus our attention on the key elements that we feel are essential for the students of our community to thrive beyond middle school. Let me quickly break down a few key elements: 

“Community”- Our staff overwhelmingly believes that we thrive when we are part of community that works together, interdependent on each other’s skills. “It takes a village to raise a child…”

“Leadership”- We believe every student is capable of being a leader in his or her own unique way. We want to empower our students by teaching essential skills like empathy, respect, organization, and communication so they are able to serve our community and shape the future.

“Compassion”- Compassionate classrooms lead to a more positive classroom culture because all students feel that they belong. Teaching students the skills to foster compassion will propel them forward with confidence and self-esteem

“Perseverance”- Understanding that adversity and set-backs are key components to learning and personal development is important for our students to grasp. Teaching our students how to approach school and life with a growth mindset will help make success attainable to all students.

“All students will meet or exceed grade-level proficiencies”- This is the foundation for everything that we do as a school. This galvanizes our commitment to prepare every student for high school and beyond by propelling them towards or beyond grade level expectations. Students all come to school at different proficiency levels and unique skill sets. Here at WPMS we commit to setting up every student for success.
