Please send your child to school with a water bottle each day...

Due to COVID, the water fountains at Winters have been turned off. As we head into warmer months, it is important for students to bring water bottles to school with them each day. There is one filtered water refilling station students can use here at school. We have received a donation of disposable water bottles for students should they not have a water bottle, and are waiting on reusable water bottle donations from Good Shepherd and Navigant Credit Union as well so that all of our students can be prepared for the warm days that are heading our way.

iReady Pathways - 45 Minutes to Success!

What is my path on iReady?

The My Path is based on your students most recent diagnostic test (this was given the first couple weeks of school). All students are assigned lessons in My Path which helps with previous years math content that they are not proficient with, and/or it will push your student to learn past where they are at.

Students should complete 45 minutes or more per week on each of their math and reading pathways.

Attendance Matters!

Congratulations to our February and March attendance contest winners. You too could be entered to win a new bike if you are absent or tardy 2 days or less during the month of April! Winters Wildcats who get their PAWS to school daily and on time, can win!

Free Daily Meals Continue For Distance Learning Students

Distance learning meals can be picked up at various sites throughout the district on Monday, Wednesday & Friday each week. Mondays will feature meals for Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday will feature meals for Wednesday and Thursday. Friday will feature meals for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Collectively, we feel that during these winter months and the current nature of the pandemic this gives families the opportunity to come out less times during the week while still receiving 7 days’ worth of meals. (Please note the address for Winters site at Good Shepherd should be 490 Broadway.)
