Winship Family News

Winship Families,

Thank you for a great start to our school year. We have been so pleased with the progress our students are making.

We are very excited for Student Conferences next week. If you should misplace the date and time of your child's conference, please call the school office. If you are unable to keep your previously scheduled time, please call the school office and we'll be happy to reschedule.

Thank you for building routines for at-home reading. We can not overstate how important it is for our students to read a lot IN SCHOOL and AT HOME. We promise to encourage all kids to read every night. We believe children must have multiple opportunities to read independently or read with a caring adult. Thank you!

Winship's next PTO Meeting is on October 23rd. We have had a wonderful group of parents attending this year's meetings. These meetings are for ALL parents. Please come and get to know other Winship families and help us plan new ways to support our school and our students. On Facebook? Please give "Winship Parents" a follow!

We will see everyone next week for conferences. Please also mark your calendar for November 17th--our next RED Event!

Sincerely,

Mr. Thorvilson
