As we close the chapter on the 2025–2026 school year at Woodridge Fine Arts & Gifted Academy, our hearts are full of gratitude, pride, and celebration for an unforgettable year of excellence!

To our amazing parents, thank you for your partnership, trust, and unwavering support throughout this school year. To our incredible scholars, thank you for showing up each day ready to learn, grow, perform, create, and shine. This year was truly one for the history books!

What an AMAZING year we had at Woodridge!

This school year was filled with unforgettable memories, exciting experiences, and moments that showcased the incredible spirit of our school community. From Field Day fun, fine arts performances, spirit weeks, family engagement events, scholar showcases, after-school clubs, award celebrations, crossover ceremonies, and countless moments of joy in our classrooms and hallways, Woodridge scholars were given opportunities to learn, lead, create, and thrive.

As a Fine Arts & Gifted Academy, our scholars had opportunities to perform, express creativity, build confidence, and showcase their talents both inside and outside of the classroom. Watching our scholars grow academically, creatively, and socially has been one of the greatest joys of this school year.

Academically, this year was a year of major progress and breakthrough success.

Through the relentless work of our scholars, teachers, staff, and supportive families, Woodridge achieved significant academic gains. Our Kindergarten through 2nd grade scholars met the End-of-Year Board Goals in both Reading and Math, demonstrating the power of intentional instruction, targeted intervention, and a schoolwide commitment to excellence.

This year also marked an incredible milestone in our campus turnaround journey. Woodridge Fine Arts & Gifted Academy improved from an F-rated campus to a C-rated campus—a testament to the hard work, resilience, and unwavering dedication of our entire school community. Progress like this does not happen by accident. It happens through teamwork, belief, accountability, and a refusal to settle for anything less than growth.

Our staff also had tremendous professional accomplishments this year:

2 teachers earned their Statement of Eligibility (SOE)
2 teachers became fully certified educators
6 teachers received Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) recognition for exceptional student growth

These milestones reflect the caliber of educators serving our scholars each day and our commitment to building excellence from the inside out.

And one of the most special moments of all...

This year, we proudly celebrated the graduation of our first 5th grade class since the 2020–2021 school year!

Watching our 5th graders cross the stage was a full-circle and historic moment for Woodridge Fine Arts & Gifted Academy. This graduating class represents resilience, growth, and the continued rebuilding of our school’s legacy. We are incredibly proud of the young leaders they have become and know they will continue to soar in middle school and beyond.

To our 5th grade graduates: thank you for helping shape this important chapter in Woodridge history.

Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!

As we head into summer, we encourage our scholars to continue reading, exploring, creating, and making wonderful memories with family and friends.

Thank you for making the 2025–2026 school year one filled with excellence, growth, celebration, resilience, and unforgettable success.

The Best Is Yet to Come!

Have a safe, joyful, and well-deserved summer!

With Eagle Pride,
Ms. Tatum & Ms. Washington
