Windsor Families,
It was a great week at Windsor!
Today was our Windsor's World Multicultural Fair! We had over seventy students participate! All of our students had the opportunity to walk through the fair and learn about each others culture, traditions and families. It was so wonderful to see students making connections with each other and learning how much they have in common with their peers. Throughout the week, our students learned about various cultures and traditions in their specials classes; music, art, PE, and LMC. Be sure to check out the pictures below from the week.
Next week, there is no school for students on Tuesday. Saturday is Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day, so Windsor is going to Rock Our Socks on Friday, March 20th! See below for details.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Anastacio and Mrs. Soprano

Windsor Drive Drop and Go
Just a reminder, please pull all of the way up on Windsor Drive to our furtherest staff member no matter which door your child enters the building through. We have many staff members outside monitoring our students as they exit cars and walk into the building. This helps to keep our intersection at Windsor and Miner clear. While there are not many families driving to school now, as the weather gets cooler or rainy, many will opt to drive, so we ask that you follow these expectations each day.
We appreciate you parking on alternate streets for arrival and dismissal. It helps to alleviate congestion on Windsor Drive. We have had some concerns raised from neighbors that live on the Sunset Terrace cul de sac, due to Windsor families parking in the cul de sac, delivery trucks and those who live there are not able to access their homes during our arrival and pick up. Please only park on one side of the street and not in the actual cul de sac to ensure that our neighbors are able to access their homes at all times. Thank you!
