Woodlawn Academy, SAISD

Woodlawn Academy, SAISD Woodlawn is proud to have served many generations of neighborhood children. Woodlawn Academy has a long and illustrious history of outstanding education.

The classrooms at Woodlawn have grown politicians, writers, doctors, Ivy League graduates and many of the top students in the city. At Woodlawn, students not only focus on academic pursuits but are constantly engaged in the art of becoming better people. It is essential that all students build the foundation for a strong academic career that will last throughout their lifetime. We also recognize t

he importance of building all facets of the child’s mind. Students have opportunities to apply their knowledge of core academic skills by competing in robotics competitions, district academic competitions and becoming a master gardener. Students can develop their creativity and personality by immersing themselves in theater and choir performances. They can challenge themselves physically through the Running Club or Spirit Team. Wherever there is interest, teachers strive to create extra learning opportunities for students. Family life also is important to the Woodlawn community. Families are invited to participate in numerous after-school activities. Monthly Parent-Teacher Organization performances showcase student learning and often are accompanied by family nights to celebrate reading, writing, math, science and history. Monthly Reading Nights allow families to visit the library together and spend time enjoying books. Parents are given many opportunities to volunteer and are welcomed into school for parent training classes, book fairs and numerous special events. The Woodlawn staff is full of energetic, compassionate, dedicated and intelligent leaders who are determined to ensure all students succeed. Our teachers strive to be the top professionals in their field, attending extra workshops and conferences on their own time and throughout the summer to ensure Woodlawn students have the best learning experiences possible. The administration closely works with students and families to ensure that the school environment is safe, positive and focused on ensuring all students progress toward their academic goals. At Woodlawn, all students matter. Once you become a member of the Woodlawn family, you are a member forever

We have some exciting news! We have the winner for the Rising Star and Teacher of the Year for Woodlawn Academy!

Rising Star: Michael Gresser
Teacher of the Year: Paola De Dominicis

Both of these educators represent the heart of Woodlawn Academy.

Mr. Gresser has embraced growth with humility and determination. His reflective practice, responsiveness to feedback, and relentless focus on student learning embody what it means to be a Rising Star. He models the courage it takes to grow in public and the discipline it takes to refine craft daily.

Ms. De Dominicis exemplifies instructional excellence and leadership. Her commitment to students and the community, her command of content, and the way she elevates those around her make her deeply deserving of Teacher of the Year. She leads through expertise, steadiness, and care.

Please take a moment to congratulate them when you see them. Their recognition is a reflection of the strong culture of professionalism and mission-driven work that exists here in Eagleland.

We are Always Climbing! And today, we celebrate.

¡Tenemos noticias emocionantes! ¡Ya tenemos a los ganadores de los títulos de “Estrella en Ascenso” y “Maestro del Año” de Woodlawn Academy!

Estrella en Ascenso: Michael Gresser
Maestro del Año: Paola De Dominicis

Ambos educadores representan el corazón de Woodlawn Academy.

Mr. Gresser ha abrazado el crecimiento con humildad y determinación. Su práctica reflexiva, su receptividad a la retroalimentación y su enfoque inquebrantable en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes encarnan lo que significa ser una “Estrella en Ascenso”. Él ejemplifica la valentía necesaria para crecer ante la mirada de todos y la disciplina requerida para perfeccionar su oficio día a día.

Ms. De Dominicis personifica la excelencia instruccional y el liderazgo. Su compromiso con los estudiantes y la comunidad, su dominio de los contenidos y la forma en que engrandece a quienes la rodean la hacen merecedora, con creces, del título de “Maestro del Año”. Ella lidera a través de su pericia, su firmeza y su dedicación.

Por favor, tómense un momento para felicitarlos cuando los vean. Este reconocimiento es un reflejo de la sólida cultura de profesionalismo y del trabajo impulsado por la misión que existe aquí, en “Eagleland”.
