Winkelman Weekly Principals Message 4/11/25

April 11, 2025

Dear Winkelman Parents and Guardians,

REMINDER: No School Friday, April 18, 2025

We want to send a huge congratulations to our amazing 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students for their incredible effort and dedication during the recent IAR testing! Their perseverance and positive attitudes were truly inspiring, and we are so proud of their hard work. Your support from home is invaluable – thank you!

Looking ahead to next week, we will be conducting make-up testing for the IAR and also administering the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) for our 5th grade students. 

With just eight weeks remaining in the school year, we're looking forward to a busy and exciting time filled with many upcoming activities and events, all while continuing to focus on our students' learning and growth. We can't wait to share these experiences with you.

Take care,

Nino Alvarez, Principal

Next week, families will receive an email with information about class placement process and opportunities for families to provide feedback. 

Playground Use After School
Please be mindful that our Early Childhood students use the school playground until 3:00 PM. If your child(ren) joins them after school, we kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Since our Early Childhood students are younger, it’s important that we all share the space respectfully to keep the playtime fun and safe for all ages. Thank you for your understanding!
