Bi-Weekly News from Winfield Elementary: 1.6.22
From the Principals, Mrs. Alonzo & Mrs. Hall
Dear Winfield Families,
Welcome to the 2nd semester! It was a wonderful feeling seeing smiling faces run into the building the last 2 days. Despite our short week, teachers and students jumped right back into their routines--not missing a beat!
On Monday, January 9th, parents will be able to log onto RDS Parent Access to view Semester 1 Report Cards. Paper report cards will not be sent home. You can find more information about accessing grades here: Report Cards 22-23.
Our hard work will continue throughout the month of January as we administer our middle-of-year NWEA assessments. These assessments will measure students achievement and growth in the areas of Reading and Mathematics. All students will take three separate tests- MAP Reading Growth, MAP Reading Fluency, and MAP Mathematics Growth. The Kindergarten assessment will also include our Universal Dyslexia Screeners. Once results are received, we will use the information to set goals and guide instruction with students. At the end of the testing window, we will send home Parent Reports for review. Please check out the attachment below for more information.

From the Clinic, Nurse Becky
Please send in extra clothing (pants, underwear, shirt) for your child to keep in their locker/cubby. I do not have all sizes of clothing at school to provide for your child if an accident happens that soils their clothing. If you would like to donate extra joggers for boys, or leggings for girls, that would be most appreciated. I especially need joggers in sizes 4/5 and 6/7. I need leggings in sizes in 6x and 7/8. If they don’t have a change of clothes here, and I don’t have their size available to change into, I will have to call home to have something brought in.
