Every year, approximately 500 students are welcomed into Wood Elementary School for a well-rounded curriculum program designed to inspire a lifetime of learning.
A public school in the Tempe School District, Wood Elementary School prides itself on one-to-one technology, special education programs, gifted learning, library, music, and physical education classes. The teachers know that when children are engaged in learning, it sets a solid foundation for future success and opportunities. The school serves students from kindergarten through fifth grade and offers a popular preschool program.
Wood Elementary School’s mascots are the WOLVES: wonderful, outstanding, loving, valiant, engaged students. But it is not only the students and teachers who are highly engaged; it’s the parents, too. Wood Elementary School has a highly active PTA and a shared mission with parents to promote shared responsibility and ownership to increase student achievement.
The school’s complete rebuild finished in 2020, featuring two new single-story buildings totaling 69,500 square feet, 30 new classrooms, a new administration and learning commons building, a new multipurpose room, and a cafeteria building. Natural daylight, LED lights, and a secure pickup and drop-off area are three of the many modern-day features that make Wood Elementary School the state-of-an-art educational institution it is today.
