North Winners Reach Out to Help Those in the Community

February’s Character Count Pillar is “Responsibility”. The students and staff feel that it is their “responsibility” to reach out to the community and help those in need.  

North Winn Student Council has decided to sponsor a food drive during the month of February to help replenish the local food pantry.  Our goal is to have each student bring in at least 1 non-perishable food item or household item such as: toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc.  Student can bring these items in beginning in February and place them in central located boxes located throughout the school.  The Student Council will deliver the products during the last week of the month.  Thanks for your acts of kindness and support!

The North Winneshiek Elementary School is receiving names of students for its 2010-2011Pre-school class.

There is a limit of 30 students (15 each section) for our pre-school program.  Because of limited enrollment the North Winneshiek School has established the following guidelines for acceptance of students.

·  All students must turn four years old by September 15, 2010.

·  All North Winneshiek students will be placed in our pre-school program.

·  Siblings of open enrolled students at a higher grade level will be placed in our pre-school program.

·  If there is room available after enrolling students meeting the previous two categories, non-North Winneshiek District students will be placed on a waiting list for placement in the program.  The waiting list will be established by order in which applications are received.

·  Parents of non-North Winneshiek District applicants will be notified by May 1, 2010 regarding their enrollment status.

·  $1000.00 tuition fee for North Winneshiek district and non-district students that do NOT attend Kindergarten at North Winneshiek School.

Applications are due in the NW office by April 1, 2010. After April 1, applications for non-district students will be accepted.

Families wishing to open enroll their students must submit paper work in the receiving district central office by March 1, 2010 and for Kindergarten students by September 1, 2010.

Change in Financial Status??

Has your family financial status changed since the school year started? Please consider fiing an application for free and/or reduces priced meals for your children here at school. Applications are held in strict confidence and can actually help the food service and other school programs.

In the food service, the school recieves more Federal funds on free meals than we do on those who pay the regular price. The school also qualifies for some Federal assistance in some programs based on the number of approved free and/or reduced price applications. So you and the school both win! Call Lynn for an application, 735-5411.
