 R. Pete Woodard Junior High School is proud to welcome you to our Internet home. Here you can learn about us and what's going on. Just check out the school calendar or the news and events page. We Roadies are always up to something good, whether it's athletics or club activities. We're also proud of our physical location in southwest sunny Arizona. The city of Yuma is known for its history and mild winter weather. Nestled against the Mexican border, in the heart of the beautiful Sonoran Desert, it's no surprise that our school exhibits a rich Hispanic heritage that we're proud of. Yuma's a great place to live and go to school. We're proud that the Arizona Department of Education has recognized us as a “Performing Plus” school! Our students and teachers are working hard all the time to improve. We hope you will visit our Web site frequently.

Dear Parents, What a privilege it is to be the principal of a great group of students and staff at Woodard Junior High! Our motto – Always ahead of the rest! – is not just a cool slogan. It expresses our determination to seek excellence – in the classroom, on the playing field, and during social interaction. Woodard Junior High thanks you for trusting us with your son or daughter. Our staff focuses its attention and efforts toward helping each student succeed academically. We know that these years can set a pattern in your son or daughter's life. Our commitment to you is to do our very best to make that a pattern of determination and success. Education is a responsibility shared by the family and community. We pledge to work with you and your student. We remind you that your son or daughter needs you to be just as interested and involved during the middle school years as in the early grades. Your child is still forming habits, attitudes, and values that will remain throughout life. As your child reaches for greater independence, don't forget to provide your guidance and encouragement. We ask parents to:
In addition, consider taking advantage of the opportunity to volunteer at school. Whether you can help with only one extracurricular activity or you can assist teachers every day, you are welcome. PTO provides a great opportunity for you to get involved in the school. Your choice to support your family's school will tell your child that education is important. Sincerely,
Alan Sullivan |
