This Week at Windsor...

Windsor Families,

We hope you had a wonderful winter break. It was great to see all of our Wildcats back at school this past week. Thank you to all for being flexible with the switch from an elearning day to a snow day, many families and staff members were without internet and/or power on Friday. It has been a very cold weekend with an elearning day tomorrow due to the extreme cold, I hope you are staying warm!

Mr. Gember wanted to remind all students to please bring gym shoes to school on days they have PE. Students need to wear gym shoes when participating in PE class.

Another reminder to please send your child to school with winter gear, snow pants, boots, hats and gloves each day. We will go outside for recess as long as the temperature above zero degrees.

Happy New Year,

Mrs. Anastacio and Mrs. Soprano

The Food & Nutrition Services Department is continually working to provide our students with lunch menu items that they enjoy, while providing a variety of nutritious options for our students. To achieve this, the department will be having seasonal menus this school year. All elementary and middle schools will have a Fall (8/17-11/17), Winter (11/27-2/14), Spring (2/20-5/31) Menu. Many of our favorite menu items will stay on the menu, however, this allows us to add some new products to our menus!

Our elementary and middle school students taste-tested a variety of new menu items this fall, and we have selected several of those items to be placed on the winter menu. We had quite a few items our students enjoyed, so some of the student-approved items will also be placed on the spring menu.

Updated menus will be posted on our website as well as on our app. Nutritional information can also be found on our website. We look forward to continuing to serve our students delicious and healthy lunch options.

Dental Exams:

The time off from school during the holidays can be a good time for you to schedule your child's required dental exam. Students in kindergarten and 2nd grade are required to turn in a dental exam by May 15, 2024.

Please refer to this LINK for Illinois Department of Public Health informational materials regarding influenza, meningococcal disease and vaccinations.

Please also make every effort for your child to arrive at school on time. Missing the beginning of the school day often has a negative impact on students for the rest of the day. Please contact the office if your child will be tardy or needs to leave early!

Student Health: If your child has tested positive for COVID-19, you can notify the school nurse for guidance regarding how many days it is recommended to stay home (5 days with day 0 as onset of symptoms or test day if asymptomatic) per Illinois Department of Public Health.
