Health Class Update
Health and Human Growth is part of our D15 curriculum at all grade levels. We have had several questions in regard to providing instruction for our health curriculum during our unique 2020-21 school year. We understand that some of our schools provide this instruction in gender specific classrooms and that due to the advent of not being in our schools, this is not possible at this time. Additionally, conversations surrounding puberty and other sensitive topics are best done while in a traditional classroom or in smaller virtual meetings. However, we also know that because our students at home may not have privacy, this is not the best scenario for delivery of this content at this time. You will receive further information in the Spring regarding these topics.
We have asked our teachers to provide lessons that relate to food, personal care and general wellness as part of the distance learning instruction. These will meet the guidelines for health during our distance learning. Topics that are “sensitive” will not be addressed during distance learning.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.
Thank you,
The Department of Teaching and Learning.
Staff Spotlight: Ms. Timberlake
Meet Ms. Timbelake: While this may be my first year working at Winston, I attended Winston as a student! I am a school counselor. Some of my hobbies include singing, writing, cooking, shopping, trying new foods, trying new coffee spots, and spending time with my family. I love collecting all my birthday cards, Mother’s Day cards, all greeting cards that I've received from my family, friends or colleagues. Fun fact is I also hate wearing matching socks. Another fun fact is I tried out for American Idol and The Voice (which was a part of my bucket list plans).
News from the PTA
Don't forget to get involved with the Winston PTA! The PTA is a partner in ensuring Winston is a great school for our students. Here's the link to the Warrior PTA MemberHub. In order to create a strong community, we want to ensure as many of our families and staff participate.
