WHAT'S UP WINNEBAGO?
SEPTEMBER 2019
FROM THE OFFICE
Welcome back Winnebago!! We are so excited to be starting a new year with you!
If you are new to Winnebago, this is our monthly newsletter that is published once a month. It is full of information you and your child should about and some pictures of what are Eagles have been up to!
BREAKFAST: If your child is getting breakfast they need to be in line and ready to go at door at 8:35am. Breakfast is served until 8:50am, finished or not, all students are required to be in their seats in class at 8:55am. The door they line up at is the new door by the gym with the long overhang, door 27S.
ABSENCE: When your child is marked absent and we have not heard from a parent, we will be sending out a Robo text stating that your child is absent and to call the school. Please make sure that if you call or email your child's teacher, that you also call the office before 9:30am to report your child's absence.
VALUABLES: Please make sure that your child is not bringing anything valuable to school. The school is not responsible if something is lost or broken during school hours. We also do not allow cellphones or electronics in the school. If they are seen they will be sent to the office and an adult will have to come to the school to pick it up from the office.
VOLUNTEERS: In an ongoing effort to improve the safety and security of our students, we please ask that if any adults are planning to help out at school in a classroom or go on a field trip, to bring your photo ID into the office to be copied. It needs to be handed in at least 2 days before the day you are going to be volunteering.
