This Week at Windsor...

Windsor Families,

We are in need of a crossing guard at Windsor and Miner. If you are interested in making a little extra money, contact the District 25 office or find the posting online on the district's website.

Thursday, May 4th is Windsor's Open House, we hope you can make it. Incoming kindergarten families are invited to attend. Families are encouraged to tour the school, visit classrooms, and meet teachers and staff. There will also be STEM activities in the Commons and Osmo robots in the LMC. Our PTA will have a table set up with spirit wear to preview and our Every Wildcat Counts PTA subcommittee will have a table, be sure to stop by and learn more about it!

Every Wildcat Counts Mission - To continue to enhance a school community that appreciates and celebrates the diversity of all people, promotes the equity of all people, and practices the inclusion of all people. DEI is especially important for schools because of their work with learners of all backgrounds. Students should feel valued and affirmed in the school setting. Therefore, it is imperative that teachers, administrative staff, parents, and others whose work impacts students espouse DEI values by exploring and honoring differences, making education equitable, and creating an inclusive school environment. Ultimately, our mission aligns with District 25’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan goal of building a learning environment that “foster(s) a sense of belonging, mutual understanding and competence to address diversity, equity, social justice, racism and inclusion in our everyday practices.”

If you can believe it, it’s already time to start thinking about the 2023-2024 school year and we would like your input. If you would like to share considerations with us, kindly complete and submit this form by Friday, May 5th. Forms that request or exclude specific staff members will be discarded. Please note the completion of this form is optional.

Anyone doing a little spring cleaning? I feel like every time I do, there is always random crafting things I find. If you are like me, and you found some yarn, I have a fun activity for you to do this weekend during the rain! Check out Babble Dabble Do’s How to Make Yarn Rope article. It has a “magic” moment while making the rope, and then you can use the new rope to make other cool things! Let me know if you try this! Have a good weekend!
