Windsor High Owls October 2013 Homecoming 2013 End of Quarter Approaches “Escape to Paradise” First Quarter Ends on October 18th It is hard to believe that one-fourth of the school year will be completed in a couple of weeks. Students and staff have settled in and by all accounts, the school year has had a great beginning. It is enjoyable to watch the school culture grow and take shape as the year progresses. School activities are in full-swing as this newsletter goes out. Our athletic teams are working hard to represent Windsor with pride and our clubs are forming and taking shape. The Windsor Golden Brigade continues to impress crowds and judges. As a reminder, you are able to see current information about your student through the SIS Parent Portal. If you do not have access, please contact the main office so we can help you gain access. If you have a question about how your student is performing in any class, please don’t hesitate to make contact with our teachers. All of their contact information can be found on our website. Homework Lab is up and running in the library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:35pm – 4:05pm. This is a great place for students to work on homework, use the computer, and work on group assignments. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on October 24th from 1:30pm – 6:30pm. This is an opportunity to have a brief conversation with your student’s teacher to check progress, and schedule an in-depth meeting if necessary. Congrats to Jimmy West and Hannah Zysk (shown above) for being elected as the 2013 Homecoming King and Queen. The end of September culminated with Homecoming Week at WHS. Students enjoyed a number of school spirit activities throughout the week. Friday saw the inaugural Windsor Homecoming Parade and the coronation of the King and Queen at the football game. Alumni were welcomed with preferential seating in the end zone and refreshments and souvenirs. Wet weather did not dampen the homecoming dance, as approximately 700 students were in attendance.
