Good Evening Winstead Avenue Wahoos! This is Mrs. Land, the Principal of Winstead Avenue Elementary. This call is to remind all families that we have open house this Thursday from 11-1pm and again from 4-6pm. This is a floating event, so please come during the time frame that is convenient for you and your family. During this time you will be able to meet your child's teacher, get the beginning of year packet, sign up for bus transportation, receive parent portal information, and hopefully get any unanswered questions answered. Our PTO will be on site selling items such as shirts and icees. We look forward to seeing all of our Wahoos here this Thursday. If your child had a residency affidavit last year and it has not been updated this year by lunch time tomorrow, your child will be dropped from their classes. Please make sure you bring in all the necessary documents to the front office. Again, I look forward to seeing everyone this Thursday night. I know it will be a great school year!

Good Afternoon, This is Mrs. Land, Principal of Winstead Avenue Elementary, welcoming you to the 2023-2024 school year. In just a little over 2 weeks, our Wahoos will either be starting back to school or starting to school for the first time and the staff here at WAVE is looking forward to it. This Saturday, our amazing PTO is hosting a Beautification Day at Winstead Avenue starting at 9am. If you are willing and able to come help spruce up the outside of the school, we would love to have you! We will be pulling weeds, planting flowers, and making the outside look lively again. Our awesome staff will be starting back this Monday. The first week back to school for staff is filled with meetings and professional development. Please be looking and listening out for a phone call from your child's teacher between Wed of next week and the following Wednesday, August 23rd. Teachers will be calling and introducing themselves along with reminding all families about open house. Open house will be a floating event on Thursday August 24th from 11am to 1pm and again from 4pm to 6pm that evening. You are more than welcome to come between those two time frames to meet your child's teacher, get a supply list, and receive the back to school packet. Please know that each grade level has a supply list posted online already. Parents, if you have not downloaded the NCPS app on your phone, please do so! We will be using this app to communicate with our parents this year instead of class dojo. I look forward to an amazing school year and I can not wait to see our Wahoos back in the building!

If your child will ride a bus this school year, please complete the form below. Please complete this prior to open house if possible to ensure your child is signed up for the bus starting day one. We look forward to seeing everyone at open house. Open house will be August 24th from 11-1pm or 4-6pm. It is a floating event. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tU_Q8XRzfHx4tr8PnEMdMHZmDhAmUkz0um3uAhqqCt0/viewform?edit_requested=true

Hello Wahoos! This year we are excited to announce that we will have two new staff members that will be joining us from outside of the US. We love being a global school and community! Maria Montenegro Correa will be assisting Señora Andrea and Señor Ciro in the dual language program. She will be co-teaching in our dual language kindergarten and first grade classrooms. She is from Ecuador. Señora Montenegro Correa will be arriving August 3rd with her husband. Mary Catherine Macato will be one of our exceptional children's teachers and she is coming from the Philippines. Ms. Macato's arrival date has not been confirmed yet but it will be in the near future. If you have any new/gently used items that you would be willing to donate to either of these families, we would appreciate it!! Please feel free to drop the items off at the school, any time between the hours of 8am-5pm Monday through Thursday. Our newest staff members will soon be getting off of the airplane here in the USA for the first time with very little luggage, ready to teach your child (our students), so lets please give them a warm welcome and help them turn their new apartments/houses into homes so that they can focus on our kiddos and student learning. Together we can make their their transitions to Rocky Mount a smooth one! Attached is a list of items that will be greatly appreciated along with gift cards to local restaurants or monetary donations. Thank you again in advance!
