Our School

Woodhaven students develop 21st century skills such as critical thinking and problem solving both in the classroom and throughout our learning environment each and every day. 

At Woodhaven Middle School we realize that academic growth occurs at different rates for different students. It is with this in mind that we provide various supports guided by data driven targeted instruction in Literacy and Numeracy. Additionally, we provide small group intervention when needed to target identified learning gaps.  We also offer a Mentorship CTF where older students are taught how to support younger students in both literacy and numeracy.

At Woodhaven Middle School we have a focus on supporting the health of our students. It is with this in mind that Daily Physical Education, provided by a team of dedicated Physical Education Teachers, is a core component of our daily structure. Purposeful physical activity, skill development and a focus on cooperation are at the core of our Physical Education Program.

We also recognize that emotional well-being and mental health are critical to student success. As such, our school counselor and our connections with community partners such as FCSS and Children’s Mental Health work to support students and families in this regard.

Our students are provided with the resources necessary to help them navigate through the challenges they face as middle years learners. Students are held to a high standard of citizenship within our learning community and are supported as they develop their citizenship skills.

We access many resources both within our school and in our community to support our students. Some of these are:

• An on-site full time counselor
• An Inclusive Education Lead Teacher
• Literacy and Numeracy Lead Teachers
• Comprehensive School Health Lead
• Children’s Mental Health
• Community Partnerships
• Family and Community Support Services (FCSS)
• RCMP Liaison Officer
• Mentorship Programs

The staff of Woodhaven Middle School work tirelessly to create a learning community through the wide range of activities we offer within our school. We recognize that students with a positive connection within our school are more likely to be happy and successful students.

At Woodhaven Middle School there are activities intended to meet the diverse interests of all types of middle school students, such as:

• Golf Club
• Basketball
• Volleyball
• Badminton
• Running Club
• Cross Country Running
• Spring League and Fall Ball
• Triple Threat Theatre

These activities are just a few of the ways we try to make a connection with each student within our learning community.

At Woodhaven Middle School, we know that our students have a role not only in our learning community, but also as citizens within a larger local, national and global community.

It is with this in mind that our teachers provide purposeful, developmentally-appropriate opportunities for our students to give back to their community and to further develop their citizenship and social responsibility.

Past initiatives have included the following activities:

• Grade 5 students making Christmas cards for members of the Spruce Grove community
• Woodhaven partnering with MADD and the RCMP on their drinking and driving paper bag campaign
• Grade 9 students raising funds for the Jack Davis Hope Foundation and working at Inner City Shelters in Edmonton

At Woodhaven Middle School, we are an open and inclusive learning community. Strong, caring relationships are at the core of our work. We have an amazing staff who are committed to working with our students, parents and community partners to ensure the growth and success of all of the students within our learning community.

We are proud of the community of learners that we have created. Come into our school for a visit and experience it for yourself!
