The 8th-grade Social Studies class has been learning about the Key Concepts of the US Constitution. All students made a poster explaining one of the concepts, but there were a few standouts that deserve attention. These include Jaeger Genereux's Separation of Powers, Khloie Fuchs' Checks and Balances, Zylie Lagsub's Popular Sovereignty, Brystol Rohde's Republicanism, and Chevy Bittner's Limited Government.

Students are coming home today with lanyards from the SchoolStore. Participation in the SchoolStore is voluntary. Students send invitations to people to participate in the SchoolStore. I do not expect people to buy gift certificates for the teachers. What I do like about the SchoolStore is that if you shop at Walmart, Kohl's, and other participating stores, a percentage of what you spend can come back to the school. We would use this money to look at new playground equipment.

If your student does participate, have them bring back their lanyard with the prize code written in to receive their book buddy.

I have attached a partial list of participating stores.

Just a reminder when using Rooms - teachers and staff are to reach out through messages in each Room. Make sure you are looking at your messages not only the announcements that are posted. Messages will be on the left side of the screen and if you have a new message there will be a red circle with a number in it. We have told our staff to keep communication through Rooms and some are concerned when they don't get messages back from parents for meetings or upcoming events. Please reach out to Mrs. Knust if you have questions on this.

Hi Winside Wildcat Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Winside Wildcat app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging.

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.

Rooms will be live and ready for messaging with educators on September 17th.
We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.
