Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year. As we start the new school year together on Monday, August 19, 2024, the staff at Winchell Elementary School looks forward to working with you and your child. Our Winchell staff strongly believe that the education of children is a partnership between the home and the school, and that parent involvement is crucial to the success of our students. Please mark Thursday, August 15, 2024, for Winchell’s Back to School Night from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm where you will meet our staff and receive important information about the coming school year.

No room changes will be made prior to Tuesday, September 10, 2024. Please note that due to the possible enrollment changes we may need to create or collapse classrooms. There is a possibility that your child may be moved to a different class. We will contact you if this occurs.
