ESOL & SPecial Ed

ESOL

Wood Acres is fortunate to have children from a variety of different cultures and languages.  The ESOL committee arranges regular meetings and encourages ESOL parents to come together and share resources.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Wood Acres also hosts children with different learning styles. The PTA's committee on special education strives to connect parents not only with each other but with experts from the community.
