Winooski School District will hold our final round of learning material distribution on Wednesday May 6th from 9-10am at the site closest to your child’s home.
When you pick up materials please stay six feet away from others in line, wear a cloth face covering, and remember to wash your hands before leaving the house and when you get back home.
Meals
Meals will be available for pick-up that day, as well. Visit our meal distribution webpage for a reminder about our new meal schedule, breakfast and lunch menus, as well as safe pick-up procedures.
Keep Winooski Safe
Recently, we have had several conversations with local residents who are concerned about Winooski students playing together on basketball courts, soccer fields and playgrounds.
It is very important that you remind your child(ren) that they must follow directions from Governor Phil Scott and the Vermont Department of Health. The COVID-19 virus spreads very easily and can make anyone sick. Some people can spread the virus without even knowing they are sick. Please help keep everyone safe by asking your child to stay home and socialize with their friends on the phone and online. We all have an important role to play in fighting this deadly virus.

Yearbooks
You still have time to order a 2019/20 JFK Yearbook.
MHS yearbooks have already been ordered.
JFK and WMHS yearbooks will be distributed later this year.
Kindergarten Registration
We are waiting for guidance from the Vermont Agency of Education about how to safely conduct student screenings and complete the school registration process. Please contact JFK registrar, Linda Casier ([email protected]) if you would like to be on the list to receive kindergarten registration information as soon as it is available.
Graduation
We are expecting guidance from the Vermont Agency of Education about how to plan for this year’s graduation celebration by the end of this week. Our students and staff are also planning special ways to recognize this major milestone.
Stay Home, Stay Appreciative
May 4th – 8th is staff appreciation week. We need your help to recognize the amazing work our staff does every day, from our custodians and meal service providers, to instructional assistants and teachers. Here are some ideas:
- Take a video of your student telling a school staff member what they like about them and share via email.
- Mail a note to a WSD staff member at school, and we’ll make sure they get it: WSD, 60 Normand Street, Winooski VT 05404. Please be sure to write “Attention JFK” or “Attention WMHS” on the envelope.
- Send an email to an adult at school thanking them for something they do for students each day. Remember to think about all district employees, especially those that do work “behind-the-scenes”.
- Here is a list of JFK staff members, their roles, and their emails and here is a list of Middle High School teachers and staff.
Taking a few moments to thank someone will brighten their day!
From Winooski, With Love
Display a green heart in your window to say “From Winooski, With Love!’ This is one way we can all spread a little joy to our friends, neighbors, first responders, and frontline workers. Cut out a heart from paper or challenge yourself with other materials and formats. Let your creativity shine! From downtown businesses to neighborhood homes and apartments, we can’t wait to see green hearts everywhere until there can be no mistaking that Winooski has heart and we are in this together, apart. We will be distributing hearts for your children to color and display at Wednesday’s material distribution!
