Academics in the 2nd Semester

We are beginning the 2nd semester of school at Winfield Elementary School, and you will notice that the curriculum will become more demanding. Here are some suggestions that may be helpful in ensuring that your child continues to be successful:
Please be sure that your child is well rested. Kindergarten and first grade students usually need 10-12 hours of sleep.
Provide a variety of healthy foods for meals and snacks.
Eat together as a family. Don’t rush through meals.
Please be sure that your child is dressed for the weather.
Check folders and book bags for notes and homework assignments.
Establish open lines of communication with your child’s teacher.
Show interest by asking your child about his/her favorite school activities. Listen to what your child says about school.
We hope that your child has a wonderful 2nd semester. Please find some important dates below:
