SAFETY FIRST!

We need everyone's help to keep our students safe during drop-off and pick-up. Please follow these guidelines to prevent dangerous situations and keep traffic flowing smoothly.

🚫 FRONT OF SCHOOL – NO DOUBLE PARKING! 🚫

Disabled parking spots are for those who need them—do not block these spaces.
Double parking creates gridlock and makes it hard for others to exit safely.
Meeting your child? Park legally and walk to the bell—we will not send students into the parking lot alone.

BEHIND SCHOOL – DROP & GO ONLY!

Use the designated drop-off zone—do not stop next to the fence or block traffic.
Stop, let your child out, and then keep moving to keep the line flowing.

🚸 Let’s work together to keep all students safe! Thank you for following these rules!

Lisa M. Hughes, Ed.D

Principal, Winneconne Elementary School

2025 Winneconne Elementary Kids Heart Challenge

Dear Winneconne Elementary School families,

Kids Heart Challenge wraps up tomorrow! We are having a blast getting healthier and helping kids with special hearts! Please remember to send your students to school with their collection envelopes tomorrow or make your final online donations if you are choosing to do the fundraising portion of our event.

Each grade level will be participating in jump roping stations for 45 minutes during the school day on Thursday. All students have been practicing jump roping skills in physical education classes in preparation for our event day and will be ready to get their hearts pumping! KHC allows us to learn about our own bodies, help others, and make a difference being a heart hero.

Your enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to learning about our hearts and brains have created an incredible community of heart heroes! ❤️

The challenge isn’t over yet! There’s still time to make a difference, please sign-up and join our school’s team of lifesavers. We are only 75 students away from our registration goal. Together, we can reach our goal and continue spreading awareness about the importance of heart and brain health.

Remember, every action counts. Whether it’s learning about Hands-Only CPR, understanding the warning signs of heart attack and stroke, or simply sharing our cause with friends and family, together we are making an impact.

Thank you for being part of the Kids Heart Challenge, supporting our school and the American Heart Association. Together, we are providing hope and health for everyone, everywhere.

SAFETY AND SECURITY: VISITORS

Our front entrance has been revised in an effort to keep students, staff, and visitors safe. If you need to enter the building during the school day, you will buzz in, ask for permission to enter the building, and go through our school visitor management system called Raptor. As a reminder, all visitors will need to bring a government issued ID if you plan to enter the building. In addition, visitors going into the building must wear a visitor sticker. Please be patient with our security procedures as we do our best to be both efficient and helpful while maintaining maximum school safety. In an effort to keep everyone safe, we also need parents to refrain from entering the playground area. If you want to walk your child to the playground you can, but you will not be able to enter the playground and wait.
