PARENTS MUST REPORT ABSENT PUPILS BY 8:30 A.M.
Affirmative Action
The Winfield Board of Education shall insure educational opportunity for all students and prohibits discrimination because of sex, race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, social or economic status in educational programs and activities.

Closed Lunch
The school maintains a “closed lunch” program. Pupils may not go home or leave school property for any reason. Parents are requested not to visit the pupils on the school grounds or drop off lunches and other items. Parents are always welcome and permitted to drop off items at the main office. This is part of our “Safe Schools” program. Pupils cannot cross streets or leave the school for any reason.

Students will not be able to run a tab in the cafeteria. If they forget their lunch or lunch money they will be allowed to bring the money in the next day. However, we cannot run an account of money due over numerous days.
Lunch Applications
Students who were on free or reduced lunch will continue in the program until October 1st when the new applications have been reviewed. The Free or Reduced Lunch application is in your packet. This is a very important document and must be completed and returned. This affects our state aid, taxes, and ultimately your child/children.
Monthly Cafeteria Menu
The cafeteria menu will be posted online on the last day of each month. If you wish to receive the menu in a hard copy, please call the school.
PTO Membership
The first meeting of the PTO will be held Thursday, September 10th at 6:45 pm in the school library. We urge you to consider joining. This organization works diligently to make the school culture amazing. Membership cost is $5.00 per family per year for Winfield School Families. For Grandparents and friends the membership fee is $3.00 per year.
Telephone Calls
Should an emergency arise, the office will call the parent. Failure to bring textbooks, homework assignments, sports uniforms or equipment, will NOT be considered as emergency. Please review your child's daily schedule and promote student responsibility with regard to special activities such as music, gym, art, etc.
