Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Families,
We had such a positive beginning to the school year at Winter Gardens. We had a very successful World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser. We sold out of chocolates relatively soon and had a lot of participation from students. All students that sold a box of chocolate will participate in a Magic Show later in the semester and will receive many other prizes in early February. We really appreciate all of your support in reaching our school goal.
Our school has also been immersed in various pieces of training for our teachers and staff including Cognitive Guided Instruction (CGI) for math, school-wide safety training, Collaborative Conversations, and Playworks. These training opportunities will work together to provide a positive and safe school environment in addition to enhancing our instructional practices. Your children will be taught leadership skills, communication, and critical thinking that will lead to college and carrier readiness.
Our school fencing project is almost complete. As you noticed we've added new fencing across the entire perimeter of the campus, new gates to the parking lot, and a new entrance to the main entrance of the school. Shortly an intercom system will be added to enter the school while classes are in session. You will need to use the intercom system in order to reach the office and enter the school. This is a new safety measure that is being implemented district-wide. The next phase of our school safety additions will be to install cameras throughout the campus. As the progress of school safety continues to evolve, we will continue to inform you. I am grateful to serve such an amazing community and I look forward to our continued partnership.
In partnership
