Woodworth Middle School Fond du Lac School District

💚 The Woodworth Caring Closet is Here to Help! 💚

As we get ready for a new school year, we want all of our students to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn.

The Woodworth Caring Closet provides clothing, shoes, coats, socks, underwear, and personal hygiene items such as deodorant, toothbrushes, brushes, and soap free of charge to our students who need them.

If your student or family could use some help with back-to-school clothing, shoes, or personal care items, please reach out to Mrs. King at [email protected].

The Caring Closet is a private, safe, and confidential space. Students are able to choose the items they need in a welcoming environment, and all use of the Caring Closet is kept confidential.

We know that students are better able to focus on learning when their basic needs are met, and we want every Wildcat to start the school year feeling supported and ready for a great year! 💚

Our Caring Closet is here for our Wildcats and their families whenever they need it.

Just a reminder our 6th grade orientation is tomorrow! It is a great way to meet classmates, tour the school, open lockers and have FUN! See you then!

Attention Incoming 7th and 8th Graders!

Want to be a leader and help our newest Wildcats feel welcome?

We're looking for current Woodworth students to volunteer during our 6th Grade Transition Class on Thursday, August 13, from 9:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. This is your chance to make a big difference and help our incoming 6th graders feel excited (instead of nervous!) about starting middle school.

As a volunteer, you'll:
• Answer questions about middle school
• Help students learn how to open their lockers
• Help them find their way around the building
• Help our newest Wildcats feel like they already belong

Whether you remember what it was like to be a nervous 6th grader or you simply want to help someone have a great first day, we'd love to have you join us!

If you're interested in volunteering, comment below or contact Mrs. King at [email protected].

Let's show our future Wildcats what the Wildcat Family is all about!

What an amazing night of performances by the Fond du Lac Summer Bands! Both the middle school and high school bands sounded fantastic, and it was so special to see our future, current, and former Woodworth Wildcats performing together.

Congratulations to all of the talented musicians on a wonderful performance. We are so proud of you! 🎶💚

We are excited to welcome our newest Wildcats to Woodworth Middle School! Join us for our 6th Grade Orientation on Thursday, August 13, 2026.

Choose a session:
🕙 10:00–11:30 AM OR 12:30–2:00 PM

During orientation, students will:
✅ Take a tour of the school
✅ Learn how to open their lockers
✅ Find their classrooms
✅ Meet classmates and begin making new connections

While attendance is not required, it is highly encouraged! Orientation is a great opportunity for students to become familiar with the building, ease those first-day jitters, and start the school year feeling confident and prepared.

No registration is necessary—just attend the session that works best for your family.

We can't wait to welcome our newest Wildcats and help them get ready for an amazing year at Woodworth Middle School! 🐾

Our Wildcat Family wants to celebrate a truly inspiring educator as she begins her well-deserved retirement. Throughout her career as a choir teacher, she shared her love of music while inspiring generations of students to find their confidence, their voice, and their passion.

Her impact reaches far beyond the classroom and stage, and the memories she created with students and staff will last for years to come. Thank you for 35 years of dedication, inspiration, and heart. Congratulations on your retirement!

A huge thank you to Topper’s Pizza for their generous pizza donations to the Woodworth staff! Your kindness and support were so appreciated and definitely kept us fueled during these busy weeks.

We also want to give a special thank you to Joni, for delivering the pizzas each week and helping make sure our staff felt supported and cared for.

We are so grateful for the amazing families and community partners who continue to show up for our Wildcat staff in such thoughtful ways!
