Windsor Middle School
03/05/21 Announcements
In-person Learning Model (starting March 15th)
Building Doors will continue to open @ 8:15am
Each morning our doors will open at 8:15 AM. Please do not drop your child off prior to 8:15 as there will be no adult supervision or access to the school building. After arriving at school, students will enter from 3 different entrances depending on their grade level - this will help alleviate any crowding at the main entrance and get students screened and into the building as quickly as possible. Please help us in reminding your child to enter through their grade level entrance below.
- 8th Grade: main entrance
- 7th Grade: Main Street doors
- 6th Grade: west doors by cafeteria
To help with traffic flow and maintaining cohorts, we need your support in dropping off your students closest to the entrance they will be entering - 6th and 8th Grade parents using the main parking lot, and 7th grade parents dropping off in the cut-out on Main Street.
If using the main parking lot, it is imperative that you pull all the way to the front of the line, as traffic volume will significantly increase with doubling our student population each day. If you are dropping off a 6th grader, please do not stop at the back sidewalk - pull all the way forward, leaving no space between you and the car in front of you.
We will start our screening process at 8:15AM every morning. As students enter the building their temperature will be taken. If, for some reason, a child’s temperature is elevated, we will have them sit in an area close by and re-screen them after a few minutes of rest. If your child is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, please keep them home and call our attendance line at (970)686-8205.
Once students are screened, they can grab a boxed breakfast at a station available at their entrance and take it with them to their first hour class. Students will be reporting directly to their first hour classes.
Masks
Masks are required for all students and staff. Our limited supply of disposable masks is quickly depleting due to students forgetting to bring their own personal masks. Please help us in reminding your child to bring a mask each day. Face coverings will be required for students in all schools, including Windsor Middle School. Everyone in a district building will need to provide their own cloth face coverings; wearing them will be enforced on our school campus as part of our dress code policy.
Water Bottles
Please help us remind your child to bring a water bottle every day. Drinking fountains won’t be available, but water bottle fillers will be available for students. Bottled water will also be available for purchase (for $1.00) at lunch time. In order to limit cash exchanges, we strongly encourage you to pay for your child’s breakfasts and lunches online at My School Bucks.
Thank you for your support, understanding and patience with our building procedures!
MASKS REQUIRED
ALL people should be properly wearing a mask while in school.
Cover your mouth and nose with the mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Freezin' for a Reason: March 27th, 2021
The Windsor Police Department is hosting this year's Northern Colorado Polar Plunge right here at Windsor Lake (100 N. 5th St.). We wanted to invite all the students to participate in this year's event and make it the biggest on record. Each school can create a team for the students or possibly join a team at the middle school or high school.
This year can be completed in person by taking a dip in the lake or virtually from home. Depending on the students age a parent will have to sign a waiver for the in person piece.
Here is the event page where you can find more details about March 27, 2021.

Hello Parents of Athletes,
In order to comply with Weld County and CDPHE Guidelines, and to try to get your kids in as many games as possible, we have a few requirements that we would ask you to follow.
Our Home fans will be entering and exiting the building through the old Main Street Entrance. There will be signage directing you to the proper doors. In order to be allowed in the building, you will need to have your ticket. We will be laminating two tickets per player. Please hold on to those tickets through the season. There are designated, socially-distanced seats for you to sit in while in our gym. We ask that you stay on the Home side of the bleachers, and remain in your seats throughout the entire game if possible. After a game or match, please wait for your child to come to you, and then proceed out of the gym as quickly as you can. We need to sanitize the gym in between events, and we are usually hosting two events a night. We are required to have a 30 minute "rest and sanitize" break, and the sooner we start that, the sooner we can start the second event of the evening.
We will also be requiring everyone to wear masks at all times while in our building.
We are very excited to be able to offer your kids the chance to participate in activities they love. Please help us to continue to offer these opportunities to your kids by following the guidelines outlined above. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me.
