A Message From Your Majesty


Dear Windsor Families,


We have all been practicing social distancing, washing our hands and learning to support each other. We speak for the whole faculty when we say that we are truly excited to be back at school in the blended learning model. We love being with your kids and cherish the day-to-day interactions we have with them.

Obviously this significant endeavor would not be possible if it were not for our creative, inspiring, and dedicated teachers. We are proud and thankful for how they’re managing through this change by developing thoughtful lessons and activities for your children and by keeping your children connected on their asynchronous days.


Please note that most children benefit from predictability and routine. To the extent that you can support them on their asynchronous days, students are expected to log in and complete iREADY assignments and teacher created assignments in order to be counted as “present” for the day. It is important to note that just coming to school on in-person days is not enough to meet the attendance requirement so please work closely with your child’s teacher to develop a mutually agreed upon plan for your student’s success.

Thank you for all that you do!

VICE PRINCIPAL TATE

Teaching for Equity Requires Collaboration

I just want to thank everyone in the building for having a very positive week. I was able to make my way to every classroom and I saw quality instruction and students engaged. Staff, the amount of collaboration was wonderful. This is truly how we can move the needle at Windsor. Working together, helping each other out, true collaboration! I hope to see this continued effort for the remainder of the school year. Special shout out to Ms. Shawntae and Ms. B for helping me with a major project without even being asked. They simply asked what I needed help with and they made magic happen, and for that I am truly grateful.
