Dear Windom Area Middle School Families,
We hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer break filled with fun, relaxation, and memorable moments. As we savor these remaining days of summer, we want to extend our best wishes to you all.

Our team is eagerly preparing for the upcoming school year, and we can't wait to welcome our students back for another fantastic year.
Keep an eye out for information about Infinite Campus, which has replaced Skyward.

High School Principal's Message
Good day to our Windom High School community. Summer is not over, far from it! I hope you are finding time to unwind and rest but also grow in your summer months. As we gear up for fall activities and the coming of the 24-25 school year, we want to share a couple items that are detailed below.
While this summer has been trying and unique with all the June flooding, I am heartened by the response from our school community to help when Windom needed it. I was filled with pride when able to work alongside students, alumni and other members of the community when Windom needed the support.
Time to start thinking about being prepared for success in the 24-25 school year! Here is our updated school supply list.
Our new learning management platform is Infinite Campus, which will replace Skyward. There will be registration information for Infinite Campus and you will need to login and verify information. Please check your email/watch for a message coming with instructions on activating your Infinite Campus account.
We are in need of a few folks who want to help our students and staff in roles as paraprofessionals. Our paraprofessionals do not need specific training coming into the position, we will train and support on the job. If you want to work with an amazing group of educators and help some pretty amazing students, consider applying by clicking here.
The Nest lobby is getting an upgrade. Gone will be the cream/tan tile and our new look will feature updated flooring that will look great to welcome everyone back for events in August and school in September.
Have a very enjoyable remainder of your summer!
Bryan Joyce
High School Principal
