Winship Family News
January 2024
Winship Families,
Happy New Year to our Winship Families. A very special welcome to families that are new to Winship. We are happy that you have joined our school. Thank you to all of our families for trusting our school and our team to serve and educate your child. We take this responsibility very seriously.
There are a few upcoming dates to mark on your calendar. There is NO school on January 15th. This is a professional development day for us to learn and study best practices in promoting youth mental health. There is also NO school on February 19th. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on February 15th, 16th and 20th. Conference times will be sent home in your child's folders or backpacks. And the GFPS Spring Break is scheduled for March 11th-15th (NO school). If you have any questions, the full GFPS calendar can be found HERE.
We continue to stress to our students the importance of keeping track of their winter gear. We ask them to put their hats, gloves, scarves, etc. inside of their backpack OR their jacket sleeves, hang up their snow pants on their hook and put their boots against the wall. If you have seen our lost and found OR have had a child come home missing some winter gear, you KNOW how important this lesson is for our kids.
Please review the newsletter for details about the remainder of the year. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call our school office.
