This Spring there will be three seats for the Winfield 34 Board of Education up for election. Our school board guides our strategic focus for the district and helps ensure that our school district works towards helping our students learn and grow. For individuals interested in running for the school board, here is the 2025 Candidate’s Guide for Elections in Illinois. The Election Day will be Tuesday, April 1st, 2025. Board of Education member information is on page 52 of the candidate guide. Here is a link to the petitions and to the statement of candidacy. Paper packets are also available from Amy Watson in the Winfield Primary Office. Candidates need at least 50 signatures on their petitions. The signature gathering window is officially open. Petitions can be filed between November 12th and 18th at the Du Page County Clerks office.
Room Parents Wanted -
Calling all parents of Preschool-5th graders - we are looking for room parents for the 2024-25 school year! Room parents are essential to the success of our classroom holiday parties and help coordinate communication between parents and the classroom teacher. Sign up here! Feel free to email us with any questions!
The year is off to a great start! Students are settling into their routines and establishing classroom communities with their peers and teachers. In third grade, students are working on their class pledges and developing their classroom procedures. In fourth grade, students created All About Me posters that they are now proudly displaying on their hallway bulletin board and are digging into social studies, learning about what the term “indigenous” means. In 5th grade, students worked on their inference skills through a game, expanded their research skills, and discussed what it means to be a scientist.
Winfield Central School students in grades 5-8 are invited to be a part of our Energy Club this
year. We will be working on a project outside of regular class time that focuses on learning
about energy and sharing what we have learned with the community. An example of this is
hosting an evening event for students and their parents such as the Family Fun Night. Our goal
is to meet the requirements to attend the Youth Energy Conference and Awards in Washington
D.C. in June of 2025.
This is not a school trip, and students will need to travel with parent chaperones. If you and your
student are interested in learning more about this club and the trip, please plan to attend an
informational meeting on Wednesday, September 4th at 6:30 in the commons. The PTO
meeting will follow at 7:00. Please contact Mrs. Nelson at cnelson@winfield34.org if you are
interested but can’t make the meeting.
Pick Up on Park Street
We are asking for parents to stay in their cars and staff will assist your child in/out of the car. If possible, it would be easier if the car seats were on the passenger side of the car. Please practice with your child to buckle themselves in their seat. We are trying to speed up the flow of arrival/departure.
No Parking - Please!
First days of school are always challenging and everyone wants to be there for their child. The Winfield Station Apartments is very concerned about families using their parking lot. They have confronted families about parking and have stated that they will have vehicles towed that do not have a Winfield Station parking sticker. Please remember, Winfield 34 is a community school. As such, there is never enough parking. Parents who plan to attend a meeting or park at school in order personally drop off or pickup their child are encouraged to park in the visitor parking on Beecher next to the playground, the Winfield Primary parking lot, the Winfield Central parking lot, or at Lions Park. We ask that you not choose the apartments' parking lot to park/drop off/pick up before and after school. We would like to maintain a good relationship with our neighbors.
