2020 Lego Contest in Chester, VT - Saturday, March 14 - CANCELLED due to Coronavirus. Will not be rescheduled.
Last Day of School & COVID-19
Windham Elementary School had 3 full snow days; therefore our last day of school is currently set for June 15th.
If the Vermont state/district chooses to close schools for a limited amount of time. That time period will be considered a school dismissal and not a school closure. A school dismissal is for when the school will stay open for staff members while the children stay home. By keeping the school open during a dismissal will allow teachers to develop and deliver lessons and materials remotely to maintain continuity of teaching and learning and allows other staff members to continue to provide services and help with additional response efforts. School dismissal days, since the students will still be getting educational instruction at home, will not need to be made up at the end of the year.
Breakfast Items
We are looking to supplement our breakfast pantry again. Items needed include:
Maple Syrup, Juice, Eggs, English Muffins, Frozen Berries for smoothies, Mini-Sausages and Yogurt
