Woodland Public Schools outlines plans and establishes goals to continue improving student learning. The plan focuses on preparing students for careers, life, and college (CLC) by ensuring graduates have the necessary skills and knowledge for advanced education, apprenticeships, or immediate entry into the military or workforce. Key goals include increasing dual credit participation, reducing chronic absenteeism, improving graduation rates, enhancing student growth and proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and supporting multilingual learners.

Woodland Public Schools' 2019-2020 Strategic Communications Plan prioritizes informing the community about a February 2020 levy, highlighting the importance of levy funding for educational programs and staff. The plan includes weekly feature stories, a dedicated website with FAQs, an informational mailer, social media updates, and an annual report (Policy 4000) summarizing district activities and financial information. Key message areas focus on preparing students for life after high school (Career · Life · College), showcasing quality instructional programs (Smarter Balanced Assessment, LETRS, math curriculum, etc.), ensuring equity in student learning (ELL support, MTSS, etc.), and celebrating community partnerships. Special projects include creating consistent messaging across schools, refreshing the website and mobile app, and improving the weekly staff newsletter.
