GIFTED & ADVANCED LEARNING PROGRAM
Woodhome Elementary & Middle School is a GAL site, where we nurture the needs of our Gifted & Advanced Learning scholars.

& rewarding them!
Our school ROARS!
Respectful
On-Time
Accountable
Responsible
Safe
Your child earns "PAWS" when they follow the school rules. PAWS are cashed in for prizes. The more PAWS, the better the prizes! We will be giving quarterly incentives throughout the year for those students with great behavior & attendance!
The PBIS committee meets every month to discuss the program. If you'd like to learn more about PBIS & the program expectations, please download the resource guide.
