Winside Public Schools

Elementary Families,

Our Book Blast event has just a few days left, and the response we’ve had is AMAZING. Thank You!

There’s still time to get in on the fun, earn books for your student, and have a chance to win the Epic Treasure Chest! Please get your 10 invitations sent to friends and families.

Remember, 100% of all contributions stay with the school in the form of books for our students, books for our school, and classroom supplies for our teachers.

Elementary students learned about the Book Blast Program yesterday. Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students through the link provided on the treasure map.

Congratulations to our Currency Believers and Achievers local winners!

Next week on the NSAA will announce the 48 state-wide winners that will be recognized throughout the 25-26 school year. Stay tuned to the NSAA Facebook page and/or the NSAA website for that announcement.

We want to inform you that a few students in our school have recently been diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. We are taking extra cleaning and safety measures to help prevent the spread.

Please review the attached images for important information on symptoms, prevention, and when to keep your child home.

Thank you for helping us keep our school healthy and safe.

Hi Winside Wildcat Families,

Rooms, built right into our Winside Wildcat app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging and is ready to go.

This addition allows Winside Public Schools to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.

Rooms will become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.

If you have not activated your account or did not receive the invitation please reach out to Mrs. Knust @ aknust@winsidewildcats.org and an invitation will be resent.

We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.

We know the events are currently missing after the addition of the Rooms. This week a new update should happen for the app and it will be taken care of.
