PAW PRINTS

Dear Winfield Families,

Next week we will welcome over 100 incoming students for their Kindergarten Screening appointments. This is the first time we will meet the class of 2035! If you, or someone you know, has a student who will begin kindergarten next year, and has not yet registered--please call our office as soon as possible. We can help you through the quick process!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Jillian Alonzo

Principal

The Spring Book Fair kicks off next week! Each class will have an opportunity to come and shop the Book Fair. Please reach out to Mrs. Daniels in the Media Center with any questions.

View the Book Fair Flyer here: Winfield Book Fair

Set up your child here for cashless shopping: E-Wallet

Shop the "virtual" book fair, with orders shipping right to your home!

Please join us Wednesday, April 20th from 5-7 pm for a Family Shopping Night!

Tuesday, May 3, 2022 is a statewide election day in Indiana, and Winfield Elementary serves as a polling location for Precinct 7 within Winfield Township. On May 3rd, students at Winfield Elementary will participate in a Distance Learning day. This is only for Winfield Elementary.

Teachers will provide asynchronous (self-paced) and synchronous (real-time) learning opportunities. Additional information regarding learning expectations will be shared by classroom teachers.

We’re thrilled to announce a year-round, 24/7 online spirit shop for Winfield Elementary. You’ll find spirit wear and accessories with dozens of official Winfield designs on over three hundred items. Brands include companies like Under Armour, Nike, NorthFace, Ogio, and more.

For the first 30 days, you’ll receive 25% off your entire order with the promo code SPIRIT.*

The Wildcat Spirit Shop is operated through a third-party vendor, BSN Sports. Currently, BSN estimates two to three weeks from the date an order is placed until it ships via FedEx. If you have questions about an order, you will need to contact BSN directly at 1-800-644-4481 or via their website.

*NorthFace products are not eligible for the promo code.
