A note from Ms. Ballard
This month we have a lot of great things taking place at Winchester Avenue. October is packed full of events. Please be sure to check your child's classroom newsletter to stay informed. This month we recognize Fire Prevention Week, School Lunch Week, and Red Ribbon Week. We also have our Haunted School Event on October 22, 2024. We look forward to learning new things this month, as we continue to SOAR to success.
As students continue to adjust to school, we ask that you check in with your child each day. Please remind them to respect staff and students. Student safety and learning are our top priorities. With your help, we can encourage better choices from our kiddos that our struggling to follow school rules. We want to SOAR to success!
