Winter PBIS Station Rotations!
We have noticed that we have had re-occuring problems with students specifically responding when they are angry. Please talk with your child about how to identify they are angry, what they can do to stay calm, and how to think to find the most safe and respectful solution when they have a problem.
We have also noticed that we have been having unexpected behavior occurring due to pokemon cards or other toys being at school. We encourage students to keep these at home. Please talk with your child to help encourage them to keep these at home so we can keep them safe.
WCE Winter Orchestra and Band Concert!
We Have School Spirit!
REMINDER: PLEASE DRESS FOR THE WEATHER!
Cold Weather is nearing. Please send students to school dressed for the weather. Students must have on winter boots and snow pants to play in the snow at recess time. With the chilly temperatures, please remember to send your child to school with the appropriate winter clothing (Hats, Gloves, Scarves, Winter Coat, Snow Pants, Snow Boots). Please contact the office if you need assistance providing the appropriate winter clothing for your child.

Winston Campus Elementary has won a 2021 Thrive Award!
We are proud to announce that Winston Campus Elementary has received GreatSchools.org’s 2021 Thrive Award!
The first-of-its-kind award recognizes and celebrates public schools in Illinois that demonstrate positive, supportive learning environments, based on student and staff responses to the Illinois State Board of Education’s annual 5Essentials Survey. Survey results provide an overview of a school’s climate — information that’s important for families to understand but not easy to find.
Winston Campus Elementary is one of 452 schools across Illinois to receive the inaugural Thrive Award, which was given to only Illinois schools because of the Illinois State Board of Education’s transparent data policy that makes this critical school information publicly available.
We applaud the dedication of our students, teachers, staff, and families in making this recognition possible!
Winston Campus Elementary Would Love to Hear from YOU!
You have been invited to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey. The information you provide will help guide improvement as we strive to inspire each student to realize their potential through the education and opportunities we provide at Winston Campus Elementary. Your participation in this survey is voluntary but crucial. We can’t receive results from the survey unless at least 20 percent of parents respond. The more responses parents provide, the more we will know how to focus our efforts toward the improvements you want. Therefore, we have set a goal to reach an 80 percent response rate. Please help us reach our goal by completing the survey.
· Go to: https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois to take the survey.
· Select “Parent Survey.”
· You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
· Then enter “Cook” into the county field and “Winston Campus Elementary” to find our school.
You will then be asked a series of questions to provide input regarding your family’s experience here at Winston Campus Elementary School. Please remember to click “submit” once you are done so your responses can be counted.
Please know that your identity and responses will be kept confidential and will not be connected to your child. If you have multiple children who attend Winston Campus Elementary, you may complete one survey for each child. However, only one parent per household may submit a survey for a given child. The survey closes on March 11, so please submit your responses soon!
Thank you in advance for your time and input. We appreciate you!
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.
Sincerely,
Marilynn Smith, Principal

Tier 3 2021-2022 Bell Schedule - In Effect February 23, 2022
Submitting Your Child’s Completed Vaccination Card
If your child has received both doses of the vaccine, we ask that you please submit a copy of it to your school nurse, Menka San Pietro, sanpietm@ccsd15.net. Fully vaccinated individuals are not identified as close contacts, and therefore, not excluded from school if there is a positive COVID case (as long as they remain asymptomatic). This documentation is very important during our contact tracing efforts. Families will continue to be notified if a student is identified as a close contact so they are aware to monitor for potential symptoms.
