Safety Drills Conducted at WC This Week!
On Tuesday, October 19, Winston Campus Elementary Students participated in a lockdown drill and a bus evacuation drill. These drills were extremely successful and the students learned our safety procedures in the event there is danger in the building or if there is danger on the bus. We continue to drill and practice for every emergency situation.
Safety is our number 1 concerns, the more we practice the more safe we become!
Up Coming Fall Festivities at WCE
Fall is here, which means there are Autumn celebrations. The WCE PTA will be sponsoring all classrooms with a “Craft in a Bag” on Friday, October 29th. Each student will get a bag with a fall craft! As a reminder, our district does have a food and allergy policy and we will not be able to distribute any candy/food at the parties. Classroom teachers will incorporate their “Craft in a Bag” into their daily schedule, along with other festive learning activities! Thank you to our generous PTA for providing our crafts!
We will also host a week long Spirit Week! Our Spirit Week will begin on Monday October 25th. This will run in conjunction with a coin war fundraiser to help raise money to increase the technology opportunities we have to offer our students! The top three classrooms that raise the most percentage per student funds will earn a 3-D printed trophy that their class gets to help design! This year our Technology team has goals to increase awareness with 3-D printing as well as with virtual reality adventures!
Monday, October 25th- Pennies & Pajama’s
Tuesday, October 26th- Nickels & Neckties
Wednesday, October 27th- Dimes & Digits
Thursday, October 28th- Quarters & Sports
Friday, October 29th- Costume or Fall Themed Clothing day! We highly encourage simple costumes that can be worn over clothes and removed easily and independently.
Turn in any left over coins or dollars to help your class earn the most percentage per student funds to support technology at WCE!
Weather permitting, all district elementary schools will have a Fall Festive Parade in the morning. Our parade will take place at 8:30 AM on the Winston Campus Track. Parents/guardians are welcome to view the parade from the inside/middle of the track. Afternoon ECDEC will parade immediately following arrival. If there is inclement weather, unfortunately we will not be able to hold our parade and we will send out a notification prior to 8:00 AM.
Again, to ensure your child is comfortable throughout the school day, we highly encourage students to wear costumes that can be easily removed as learning will commence following the Halloween/fall activities in the morning.
As a reminder - per the Student Handbook: Students are permitted to wear costumes on Halloween as long as their attire complies with the above student appearance policy and meets the following set of expectations for a school setting:
Children should not wear bloody, gruesome, or especially scary costumes. Costumes involving fake blood are not allowed.
Actual weapons, look-alike weapons, toy weapons or weapon-like objects are not allowed.
Masks that cover the face and head are not allowed.
Costume make-up is allowed provided it does not cover the student’s entire face. Staff members must be able to identify students.
Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype about someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not allowed.
Reminder: Students are expected to wear a face covering/mask to school each day.
While we know this is not the same Halloween experience as we have offered prior to COVID – we are trying to bring a level of familiarity and fun to the children during this Halloween season while also ensuring safety protocols are adhered to. Students will be required to wear their health face coverings/masks during the day. Costume masks are not permitted and face make up is not encouraged.
We are aware that some families do not celebrate Halloween or Fall Festivities. If you wish for your child to not participate in the parade or festivities, please reach out to your child’s classroom teacher. Thank you for your continued support! We are so happy to celebrate fall festivities with our students who deserve some extra fun!
