WINFIELD SCOTT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Grandparents' Day Breakfast Celebration When: Monday, September 11th Time: 8am at Winfield Scott Parents: A letter went home either last Thursday or will come home today in regards to the above Grandparents' Day Breakfast. Be sure that the form with the number of grandparents that plan to attend that day gets turned in as soon as possible. Students will report to their classroom just like normal and the grandparents will be allowed to enter into the school at 8am. The grandparents will be able to go directly to the student's classroom and enjoy a quick breakfast. Please be sure that they know the classroom teacher. Happy Grandparents' Day 2023!

Just a reminder that there is no school on 9/1 & 9/4. Enjoy your four day weekend! September 8th - Our first Popcorn Friday - Send your student with a quarter to school. This will help go towards our Elementary PTO and our Popcorn Fridays! Jostens will be our school picture provider this year for the district. Please watch for upcoming emails from Jostens with school picture information. Winfield Scott picture day is September 18th. We have had a considerable amount of kids having accidents at school. If you put an extra set of clothes in your child's backpack that would help out greatly!

It was a great day to be a Tiger at the Regional Special Olympics Track and Field event yesterday! Approximately 48 students from 2nd grade to 12th grade competed from Fort Scott. Our very own Carter Collier led the Kansas Law Enforcement Torch Run to kick off the event. The mission of the Special Olympics is to give the students continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in sports. #gbr #gotigers
