We sincerely apologize for the short notice, as this issue arose after the building was checked and confirmed to be working properly earlier this morning.

As a result, Woodlawn Learning Center will be closed today, Wednesday, February 12th.Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue. Stay warm, HCPS family!
