Colin Powell Middle School

As a parent of three children who have attended Woodgate School, I wanted to share my positive experiences. I have consistently found the school to be a safe and responsible environment where student learning is clearly a top priority.Over the past several years, under the current leadership of Principal Thorne, I have observed significant growth and improvement within the school. The principal demonstrates genuine compassion and care for both the students and the dedicated staff.I am grateful for the positive impact Woodhate School has had on my children's education and development.

With the new principal in place this year and last this school have improved tremendously. I have a son with ASD and this is the first school he has attended that made him feel welcomed . They have also helped him achieve a lot of his goals in his IEP.

My son has been enrooled at St. Lawrence O'Toole since first grade. He has been allowed to grow exponentially and learn without borders. The teachers and staff in my opinion are top notch. They challenge the kids to think and learn new and sometimes challenging things. The curriculum prepares them very well for the next level. It would be a sad day to lose a school full of this many teachers and administrators who truly care about there students.
