WELCOME TO THE DEN!
The Den is Woodland High School"s Ninth Grade Transition Program. It is designed to meet the developmental needs of 9th grade students as they transition from a middle school to a high school environment. The program's focus is early, intensive, and collaborative intervention by parents and school support staff. Intervention is tailored to meet the individual student's need. The effort is a collaborative one involving the parent, the teachers, the graduation specialist, the counselor, administrators: and, most importantly, the student.
Research indicates that the ninth grade year is the most emotionally, physically, academically, and socially challenging period in a student"s maturation process. Future successes or failures are dependent on the experiences, interventions, and resolutions of issues, difficulties and problems during the ninth grade year. The ninth grade transition program provides the student, parent, and teacher with a variety of tools to meet the individual student's needs.
