The Wentzville School District Board of Education voted unanimously to place Proposition L – a zero-rate-change bond initiative – on the April 8, 2025, ballot. If passed, Prop L would address facility needs across the district by funding enhanced safety and security measures district-wide; renovating legacy buildings such as Heritage Elementary, Wentzville Middle, and Holt High School; resurfacing all WSD elementary playgrounds to improve accessibility; replacing turf at Holt, Liberty, and Timberland high schools' athletic fields; and more. Watch the video below and visit wsdlegacy.com to learn how Prop L would impact our school!

This year, high school summer school offers both credit recovery and credit advancement opportunities. All credit advancement courses will be offered virtually. Credit recovery students may enroll in an entirely virtual option or elect to complete e-learning credit recovery courses in person with WSD e-learning teacher support.

Each month, Timberland's staff has the opportunity to shout out students and staff that are making a difference. In this month's "Student & Staff Spotlight," we celebrate the achievements and contributions of our exceptional individuals who make our school community vibrant and inspiring.

Aubrie recently helped one our new students get to know the Timberland building, other students, and staff. Her genuine personality and Timberland pride fostered an immediate sense of belonging for the new student. We are lucky to have Aubrie as a THS Wolf!

Mr. Brown's positivity is contagious – he's always ready with a warm smile, the first to greet students and staff with a cheerful "good morning," hold the door for others, or lend a hand by grabbing copies from the printer. He's the kind of teacher everyone can count on, a true advocate for students, and a valued member of our school family. We're grateful to have him on our team!
