Wood River Rural Schools

Here is the Counselor's Corner Newsletter for October. This month, we are focused on Bullying Prevention. Everyone plays a role in creating a safe and welcoming school. Be kind, include others, and speak up if something isn't right.

Great opportunity for our team to share some of the school improvement work happening at Wood River Rural Schools with educators at ESU 10. Mr. Pietrzak and Miss Parlin shared our 4DX process and how we are turning district goals into focused action. This work is a reflection of the commitment and effort of our entire staff. Proud of our team! 🦅
