Windermere Weekly Update

Help us celebrate our favorite school nurse! Nurse Sara Tinnon does SO MUCH for each and everyone of us, please let her know how much you appreciate her. There are 725 students at Windermere and almost 100 staff. There's only 1 Nurse Sara. She takes such good care of us and we absolutely couldn't do school without her. She likes kind notes, treats, sweet tea and all the love you can show her! Thanks for all you do Nurse Sara!

Thank you so much to Coach Grinnan and the Specials team for coordinating Field Day! Our kids had so much fun even with it being indoors. Thank you to all the parents who came to participate and/or volunteer! And an EXTRA SPECIAL shoutout to our fantastic PTO that helped in so many ways, including buying lunch for our staff... we couldn't have done it without you!

Our last Math Pentathlon tournament was this weekend. Our 2nd and 3rd grade team have been preparing and practicing since November! Thank you so much to Ms. Gilliland, a parent, who has been meeting with these students weekly to prepare for the tournament. Great job, team!

Every year our ASCEND students from Mr. Lee and Ms. Hurst's classes compete in Lincoln-Douglas debates. Our students worked so hard to be prepared. They did a fantastic job! Thanks to Mr. Lee for getting them ready and thanks to our guest judges Mr. Pruitt (Advanced Academic Coordinator for PfISD), Ms. Bartlett (Pflugerville MS 8th Grade ELA Teacher) and Ms. Croteau (Pflugerville MS 6th Grade ELA Teacher). Great work, students!

Cell phones and smartwatches are not essential to students learning in classrooms. Therefore they are not needed at school. These devices have become huge distractions in our building. Please remind your child to adhere to the following:

• Cell phones and smartwatches may be used outside of the building before school starts.
• Cell phones and smartwatches MAY NOT be used at any time while in the building unless an adult has specifically said it is ok.
• Cell phones and smartwatches should be turned OFF and placed in the child's backpack once they enter the building. These devices should remain off until they leave school at the end of the day.

If your child chooses to use a cell phone or smartwatch while in the building without permission, the following will occur:

1. 1st time the device is confiscated by a staff member, an adult from the student's Skyward account will have to come pick it up in the front office.
2. Every additional time that the device is confiscated by a staff member, an adult from the student's Skyward account will have to come pick it up in the front office and pay $15.
