Attendance Matters
Let's SOAR with great attendance!
The form below will be in your child's planner beginning, Monday Sept 16th. Please review the importance of coming to school each day.
Recess Expectations
Title I Tip
Choose appropriate reading levels for your child.
Use the five finger rule. Open the book to any page and ask you child to read. Put up a finger for every time your child does not know a word. If you have to put up more than five fingers before the end of the page, this book is too hard for your child.

We have a read aloud program here at Winchester Avenue. Please email Mrs. Elgin, Library Media Specialist, at meranda.elgin@k12.wv.us with any questions or concerns about becoming a volunteer classroom reader this school year.

Parents/Guardians, please continue to encourage great choices. Students are SOARing to success.
Walkers
We understand that older siblings may need to walk our kiddos home. Please be sure your child's teacher is aware of this arrangement. We have a new form to be completed by parents/guardians of students that are walked home by siblings that are under 18 years of age. Once the teacher is made aware, we will send home the form.
