While this learning takes place throughout the year at Winona, we will be explicitly focusing on Bullying Awareness and Prevention this week. Over the week, our students may be discussing teasing, aggression, cyberbullying and how to help or get help.
Progress Reports – Families can expect a print copy of the progress reports to come home on Tuesday, November 19.

Parents and caregivers are invited to discuss their child/ren’s progress by attending a progress meeting in person or via MS Teams.
