What a great way to kick off our Friday! Our morning meeting was packed with celebration and school spirit!
We spent time celebrating all of our July and August birthdays, and we officially handed out our first Positive Paws awards of the year! 🐾
Students can be nominated for Positive Paws when teachers and staff catch them raising their paws and stepping up to meet our RAISE school expectations:
R – Respect
A – Accountability
I – Improve
S – Safe
E – Encourage
We are so proud of our birthday stars and our Positive Paws nominees for setting such a inspiring example! Let’s keep this awesome momentum going all year long! 🌟

📣 Winside Wildcats Activities & Athletics Communication Reminder 🐾
As we begin another busy year of Wildcat activities and athletics, we want to remind families about the importance of positive and productive communication.
🔴 Please follow the 24-hour rule.
Following a contest or activity, we ask parents/guardians to wait at least 24 hours before contacting a coach or sponsor about a concern. This gives everyone time to reflect and helps ensure conversations are respectful and solution-focused.
⚫ Please follow the chain of communication.
When a concern arises, we ask families to begin with the person closest to the situation:
Coach/Sponsor → Activities Director/Principal → Superintendent → Board of Education
Whenever possible, concerns should first be discussed directly with the coach or sponsor before moving to the next level.
Our coaches, sponsors, administrators, parents, and students all share the same goal—providing positive experiences and opportunities for our Wildcats. Clear, respectful communication helps us work together to support our students.
Thank you for helping us Build Better Together.
🐾 Every Student. Every Day. Every Opportunity.
Apptegy/Thrillshare Rooms is the official communication platform for Winside Public School. Families should download the Winside Public Schools NE app and log in to Rooms. Each teacher, athletic team, and school activity has its own Room where staff will share announcements, schedules, updates, and messages. All communication from teachers, coaches, and activity sponsors will take place through Rooms.
Winside Public School long term sub needed.

🚌 Bus Route Update for Winside Public School Families 🚌
We are currently working on finalizing our bus routes for the upcoming school year. Our bus drivers are carefully reviewing routes to ensure they are as safe and efficient as possible.
Once the routes have been finalized, your child's bus driver will contact you directly with an estimated morning pickup time and afternoon drop-off time for your child(ren).
Please know that this will be completed before the first day of school. At this time, we do not have a specific date for when those phone calls will begin, but we appreciate your patience as our drivers work through the routing process.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we prepare for another great school year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back soon! ❤️🖤
