What our staff have to say...

  • "Woodridge 68 provides a collaborative workspace that allows teachers to accomplish things together, so they take less time and come out better. These teams allow for more time for self-care."

    "There are so many amazing opportunities within the district that teach us how to take some time to do mindfulness activities and find ways to put ourselves first outside of the work environment."
