Meet our Office Clerical!
Hello, my name is Virginia and I am new to working in a school setting. I speak both English and Spanish. I have 20 plus years working for the private sector in different roles with emphasis in customer relations and service. I currently live in Arlington Heights with my husband and my 13 year old daughter. I love reading and I believe the most magical place is a library. Fun fact, I never attended school in America until I went to Harper College to learn English. I am very excited to help and support the families at Winston Campus Elementary!

Transportation
Attendance:
One of our Winston Campus rules is to Be Responsible. It is important that students are at school, on time, prepared, and ready to learn each day. Academic success is directly correlated to attendance and tardies. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and willingness to work together to help your child succeed.
Our first bell rings at 7:20 a.m. Students who wish to eat breakfast may go down to our cafeteria at this time. Please help our students arrive at school in time to be seated at their desk and ready to learn each day. Classroom instruction and the Tardy Bell rings at 7:35 a.m.
If your child will not be in school due to illness or other circumstances, please call the attendance line at 847-963-7501 before the start of the school day. When reporting an absence, please make sure to include your child’s full name, teacher, date of absence, and reason for absence.
If a student is to be absent because of a family vacation, parents should notify the school office in writing at least one week before the planned absence.
Any unverified absence will generate an attendance call home.
School Nutrition Services
For the 2022-2023 School Year, Winston Campus Elementary is eligible to participate in the National School Breakfast and School Lunch Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means all students are eligible for free meals through their schoolwide CEP status, based on federally outlined criteria.
What does this mean for families attending the CEP school(s) identified above?
Again, all enrolled students will receive a free breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household. Your child(ren) will be able to participate without having to pay a fee, but we ask that you still complete the Fee Waiver form here (Spanish form) to determine if your family qualifies for other financial assistance such as school fees, athletic, and activity fee waivers. Again, completing the application is still necessary for other programs and assists with funding for educational programs in District 15. The Fee Waiver form (Spanish form) may be turned into the main office.
District 15 offers healthy breakfast and lunch options for students each school day.
Menus are available to view by using MealViewer and selecting "Winston Campus Elementary" as your school choice.
Lunch fees can be paid online using MealTime.
More information about the elementary meal program can be found on our website.
Health Forms
For the purpose of safeguarding the health of children, District 15 enforces Illinois student health requirements. These requirements consist of health, dental, and eye exams and immunizations specific to grade and age.
Health exams are required for students entering pre-school, kindergarten, sixth grade, and those who are new to the school. The Certificate of Child Health Examination form is available online and in the school office.
The exam form, completed and signed by a licensed healthcare provider, must be dated within one year prior to the first day of school and must include lead screening for children who are six years or younger and diabetes screening.
Health forms can be brought to the school office at any time.
On October 15, students who have not provided a health exam or required immunizations will be excluded from school. Students new to Illinois schools, who register mid-term, have 30 days following registration to comply with the health requirements.
For more information on specific health forms needed, visit the Health Services website.

WCE Meet the Teacher and Parent Orientation!
The Winston Elementary teachers would like to invite all of our students to Meet the Teacher Day on Tuesday, August 16 from 1:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. We ask students to bring all their school supplies to Meet the Teacher Day.
If you and your child are not able to attend our scheduled Meet the Teacher Day, your child may bring his/her supplies on Wednesday, August 17, the first day of school for grades 1 – 6. Just as a reminder, this is a half day for students. The first day of school for kindergarten is Thursday, August 18. This is a full day for all students.
We would also like to invite you to our Parent Orientation Night on Thursday, August 25.
· 6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. - Grades DUAL K- DUAL 3 / Primary LEAP
· 6:45 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Grade 3, Dual 4, Grade3-6, ATG, Intermediate LEAP
Classroom teachers will be providing reminders closer to the night of our Teacher and Parent Orientation.
Parent Orientation Norms
Please refrain from visiting a past teacher your child may have had. The purpose of this orientation is for you to get to know your child’s current teaching staff.
Please remember that this is a time to receive an overview of your child’s school day and curriculum. This is not a time for a 1:1 meeting.
Winston Campus Elementary School PTA!
Our PTA provides vital support to our school, offering over 25 programs for our children and families. We are fortunate to have parent volunteers who can be seen each and every day working with students and supporting our school.
