Our Mission Woodfin Elementary belongs to the people
and children of the Woodfin Community. Our
entire mission is focused on giving our children
unique advantages because they are here and
part of something important. We believe
students learn in different ways and should be
provided with appropriate instructional
approaches to meet their individual needs.
Serving students from kindergarten
through fourth grade, Woodfin’s curriculum
includes Common Core and Essential standards
through the Fundations, literacy program, and
Investigations math program.
Extracurriculars Students enjoy extracurricular activities
such as the Master Gardeners Program, Boys On
Track, Girls Are Active Confident and Encouraging,
Readers Odyssey, Music Club, and Odyssey of the
Mind.
Our Vision “Preparing all students to realize their potential in a rapidly changing, diverse, global society.” Specifically, Woodfin students enjoy:
• Small Class Sizes
• iPads in every child’s hands
• A State-of-the-Art Media Center Renovation to be complete prior to the 2016-2017 school year.
• Free Summer Camp Opportunities
• Instruction from Highly Qualified teachers
Woodfin is a small town nestled in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. It borders the French Broad
River and still remains a quaint small town
environment. Woodfin Elementary emulates
the same quaint small town charm. We have a
student population of approximately 155+ and
a faculty and staff of 40-50 members. Our
small environment nurtures the needs of our
diverse population with a feeling of mutual
respect and positive growth.

Curriculum Overview
Our staff uses a balanced literacy
approach and the Fundations program to build a
strong foundation for literacy. Likewise, Math
Investigations help students to develop
mathematical thinking skills to support their
understanding of essential math topics.
Students enjoy art, music, performing arts,
media center, computer lab, and physical
education classes weekly. Students learn 21st
Century skills through the integration of
technology, including a computer lab, iPads for all
students, interactive white boards in the
classroom, wi-fi, and global connections with
various tools. Woodfiin is a Title 1 school and
receives federal funds to assist in closing the
achievement gap. Title 1 funds provide us with
reading interventionists and a curriculum coach.
