SEPTEMBER 2024

Principal Message

Winnequah Families,


The 24-25 school year is off to a great start! It was wonderful to see so many excited students and families at Back to School Night and on the first day of school. Students are already learning our school routines, getting to know their new teachers and classmates, and reconnecting with friends and staff.


Here are some quotes from our oldest and youngest learners when asked about their first day of school.


5th Grade:

  • "It was fun and exciting."
  • "Very interesting, funny, and fun."
  • "Pretty good. Our teacher was really nice; she gave us extra recess."
  • "It was amazing, that's all I have to say."


Kindergarten:

  • "Good."
  • "It was good, and I loved music."
  • "The second recess."
  • "I liked doing the brain break."


I’d like to share a few reminders about arrival and dismissal procedures. Following these routines helps us get everyone to and from school safely and efficiently.  You may have gotten a handout at Back to School Night about our arrival and dismissal routines. Please take a moment to review this document  if you haven’t done so already. As a reminder, students are able to arrive at school starting at 7:20 am, as this is when our supervision begins. After drop off, 4K students go directly to their classroom with their teacher. Students in Kindergarten go to the library for stories, building, and art activities. Students in grades one through five begin in the cafeteria and have the opportunity to get a pass to the playground or gym until school starts. All students are dismissed to classrooms at 7:40 so they are ready to go when the day starts at 7:45.


Inclusive, positive communities are the foundation of Winnequah School. School staff are working hard to build positive relationships with students and to set common expectations for shared spaces. Each classroom schedule  includes time for community building and connection as well as lessons about Social Emotional Learning. We can’t wait to watch these communities grow and flourish this year!


Please reach out with any questions, and I look forward to partnering with you this year!


Best, 


Emily Kintzer
