A new school year is just around the corner. The school day will run from 8:25-3:07. Open house is slated for Wednesday, Aug. 30 st from 5:00-7:00. Erin Lisburg will be in the District Office to answer the phone, take attendance, and welcome people to our school. Kristi Plante will do correspondence with transportation and Sub calling.
School Choice
When reviewing a school choice, parents should consider the programs and opportunities available for students, the school safety, and the qualified staff teaching their children. Education is our job, and Win-E-Mac school takes this very seriously as students are important to our future. We have added a new activity this year called Esports, which is structured computer gaming. Students must be eligible to participate in this gaming activity. Other programs such as Robotics, Lego clubs, extra-curricular sports, performing arts, and vocational classes are important for students to choose careers in the future. Public Schools have a lot to offer with numerous opportunities for children.
Fitness Room Renewal
Membership to the School Fitness Center is only good until August 31, 2023. You will need to renew the $75 membership fee by that date, or your card will be deactivated until payment is made. If you did not purchase a membership last year and would like one this year, please come to the District Office to fill out a membership application and fee (a printable application is available here). Adult members of a family must have their own access card from the office. Parents can use their cards to supervise school-aged children. Do not access the rest of the school after hours or an alarm will activate law enforcement. The school has video cameras at entrances and hallways of the school to show access. Please call 218-563-2900 for any questions.
Important: Immunizations
Before a student can attend a Minnesota school, a child must have their immunizations up to date before the first day of school. These students include the Preschool age 4, Kindergarten, and Seventh graders. If you are in question, please call the school for information. Immunizations help every child in school to prevent illness and disease.
Free Lunch Available in All MN Public Schools
Important: Free and Reduced Application Forms
I know you read and hear this announcement time and time again, but I cannot stress enough how important these forms are to the school district to access funding for our school. While this year all students will have a free lunch and breakfast, we do still need Free and Reduced Applications (available by paper copy in the front office or print your own here).
Century 21 After School Program
We are sad to inform parents that the Century 21 after-school free program will end on August 30th. We have had a good 6 years of free programming from this grant. The Century 21 program wants to sponsor a hot dog and chips lunch for families at our Open House on August 30th from 5:00-6:00 pm. We will be continuing the Century 21 program, but there will be a cost for the after-school program. We will have more information that evening. Make plans to attend.
Patriot Pride Boosters
The Patriot Pride Booster Club helps to support students in academics and activities. This group wants to invite parents and community members to get involved. The club will fundraise, provide volunteers for academics and activities in school, sell Patriot clothing, and sponsor some events during the school year.
