Senior Parents/Guardians,
I am writing to give you another update in regards to the Class of 2021 graduation and events. As I have stated previously, it’s important to note that these could change quickly due to the changing of Health Department and The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction guidelines. I will ensure to update you as quickly as possible if/when anything changes. It is our continued plan to hold all scheduled events, knowing that they may need to look differently than they have in the past. Below is a list of the scheduled events:
Senior Mother’s Tea – Friday, May 7 th at 10:00 am
Senior Awards Night – Tuesday, June 1 st at 6:00 pm
Senior Father’s Breakfast – Friday, June 4 th at 8:00 am
Senior Trip – Thursday, June 3 rd
Graduation – Saturday, June 5 th at 12:00 pm
We are planning to have an on-campus graduation. The exact location and the number of guests will depend on the updated guidance.
I appreciate your flexibility and patience during this time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Dracy McCoy – Principal

Hello Winlock Families,

Beginning April 12, all of our families K-12 will have the option to send their students to school 5-days a week in-person.
The in-person school day hours will remain the same:
WMES M, Tu, Th, Fr 830 am – 130 pm: Wed 830 am – 1230 pm
