Congratulations to our top two overall winners: Jayden Cooper, a 3rd grader from Ms. Sanchez's class, and Olivia Casebolt, a 5th grader from Ms. Casas's class. These talented WAVE students will proudly represent our school at the District Spelling Bee in February. We couldn’t be prouder of all our excellent spellers!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our school-wide Spelling Bee! The students were exceptionally well-prepared and represented their 3rd-5th grade homerooms with pride and excellence.
Good evening, parents and guardians. This is Mrs.Kelley, the Assistant Principal of Winstead Elementary, with this week's WAVE message.
Parents, we have so many coats and jackets that we have been trying to get the students to pick up. Please come to the school between 7:20 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to check in lost and found for their coats or jackets.
The Winter Concert was so good! Thank you to all who attended. The 4th and 5th-grade students did an excellent job.
Parents, if you pick your child up early from school, between 12:30 and 2:30, you must park in the staff parking lot near the buses. The pick-up line starts around 12:30.
Parents' school dismisses at 3:00, but several students are still here from 3:45 to 4:00 and later. Please arrive close to 3:00 to pick your children up. Students are tired, and sometimes, my staff has meetings they must attend after school.
Starting Monday, December 9th, students must have a tardy pass to get into class. Please do not send your child to the building after 8:00 by themselves. A parent or guardian will need to come inside to sign them in. Breakfast will end at 8:05 for any student coming in tardy unless they are a bus rider. Students miss valuable lessons because they have a late start to the day. If you want your child to eat breakfast, please have them here between 7:20 am and 8:00 am.
If you need to change your child's mode of transportation, please send a note in their folder or notify their teacher through the Rooms app. Calls to the front office during busy check-out times can be challenging. If calling the office, any transportation changes must be made by 1:00 PM.
December 11th is an early release day, and school will dismiss at 1:00.
During the week of December 16th to the 20th, we will have our Holiday Spirit week. Here are the dress-up days:
Monday 16: Candy Cane Lane: Wear red and/or white
Tuesday 17: Tree Toppers: Wear holiday headwear
Wednesday 18: Winter Wonderland: Wear white/blue
Thursday 19: Jingle Bells: Wear Bells
Friday 20: Polar Express: Wear your favorite pajamas
Enjoy your evening, and we will see your wonderful children bright and early tomorrow morning.
Picture retake day is tomorrow morning for any student that did not have their picture taken in October.
