PAW PRINTS

Dear Winfield Families,

With only a few short weeks to go, please be on the lookout for dates and reminders for the inevitably busy final days. From book fairs to music programs, to field trips and field days--the end of the school year is a time to solidify the year's learning and make memories.

Please check out the following highlights of this newsletter:

• Distance Learning day 5/3
• Spirit Wear Store now open! 25% off!
• Book Fair is coming!
• New Wildcat News Network!

Thank you for your continued support. We couldn't do this without you!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Jillian Alonzo

Principal

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.
