BEST WISHES

This year we will be saying thank you and best wishes to: Courtney Drewry, Marlese Cunaj, Janna Tuckwell, Elizabeth Fraresso, Jayson Sy, Danielle Legros, Jamie Barnes, Darcy Schneider, Jenna Boyle and Mark Pettipiere. They have all played an important role this year at our school.

Tentative Organization
A tentative organization for the 2022/2023 school year is included in this newsletter. The organization is based on our enrollment in February and subject to change. Should there be further changes in enrollment, particularly in September, we may be directed to undergo a school reorganization. In that event class and staff assignments may change as directed by the school board staffing committee and Ministry of Education.

SCHOOL COUNCIL
Congratulations to Mr.Hopkins class who were our participation winners for our last Domino’s Pizza night of the year. Our pizza night in May raised $258. (If you experienced issues when ordering, thank you for persevering.) We introduced a new fundraising program this Spring with Plantables. Thank you to all that ordered seedlings and shared our link with family and friends. Your plant orders raised $348.80 towards our bottle refill station.
Do you have an idea for future fundraising? We are always interested in new ideas for our Winegard community. Please send a quick email to [email protected]
A big thank you to all who have supported our ventures this past year. We couldn’t do it without you! Have a safe and happy summer and we’ll see you in September.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCHOOL AND HOME
Communication between school and home will continue to be very important. We will use the school website and email as a means to share important school and board information. As items come up, they will be posted in our News and Announcements section of the school website. Our website and the school board is an important link to have in your favorites to stay on top of what is going on at the school. Please check it often at www.ugdsb.on.ca/winegard and https://www.ugdsb.ca/. We will also be using the messenger phone call out system and twitter as a means to share information. There is a link on our website to follow us on Twitter (@williamcwinegardps).
To the WCW Wolf Pack,
You are all very special and we believe in you. Please take care of yourselves this summer. We look forward to seeing for the 2022/2023 school year where we will continue to work together, build our community, and create a safe learning environment for all.
