We are off to a wonderful start to the 2025–26 school year, and I want to thank our students, staff, and families for helping to make these first weeks so positive and productive.
As we move into October, we’d like to share a few important updates:
-
Next week, our 4th and 5th grade students will participate in a Well-Being Survey to help us better understand and support their experiences at school. Parents of 4th and 5th grade students received more information via an Iconnect earlier today. Please reach out with any questions.
-
During the week of October 14th, we will conduct our Universal Screening process, which helps us identify students’ strengths and needs so we can continue providing the right supports.
🎃 Halloween at Windom 🎃
Halloween is fast approaching, and we encourage everyone to join in the fun of the season! To ensure the day is safe and enjoyable for all, please keep these guidelines in mind:
-
Costumes should not be violent, gory, or include weapons (even toy versions).
-
Costume masks should be saved for home, and face painting is strongly discouraged.
-
Classroom celebrations vary by teacher. Homeroom teachers will communicate if they are hosting a celebration and whether volunteers are needed.
-
No homemade treats, please. Only pre-packaged, store-bought, individually wrapped snacks may be shared, in line with each teacher’s plan.
If you have any questions about costumes, celebrations, or snacks, please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher directly.
We look forward to a month filled with learning, community, and plenty of fall fun!
