WES Parents,
We have just been notified by the transportation department that our buses cannot run portions of North Poplar, due to high water.
Putnam County Schools has partnered with Rank One Computing (ROC.ai), a United States-based company and world leader in biometric face recognition and computer vision solutions, to introduce a Safer Schools Initiative, ROC Watch. You will receive a secure link via text message on your mobile phone in the next 48 hours to enroll in the visitor management system. The visitor management system allows Putnam County Schools to deter building access of all unauthorized individuals, including the ability to revoke access for legally restricted persons, former staff, expelled students, and child sex offenders. Please use the link below to learn about ROC Watch and detailed steps outlining the enrollment process. It is a simple three-step process. https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1595/PCS/3868764/ROC.pdf
Today your child should bring home information about a fundraiser through a company called School Store. Please consider supporting WES through participation in this quick and easy fundraiser.

At the start of second semester on Wednesday, January 17 we will need to use a new QR code for K-5 student sign out. So, the one you have saved will no longer be valid.

Due to recent changes at the federal level, the Putnam County Board of Education was able to qualify more schools for a program called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture's Child Nutrition Meal Programs. This program will be added to Winfield Elementary starting January 2, 2024! This will allow all WES students to receive FREE school meals (one breakfast and one lunch) starting January 2, 2024 through the remainder of this school year. There will be no need for parents to complete a free/reduced meal application to receive this new benefit. Please be aware that if your student has an outstanding lunch bill balance from earlier this year, these billing statements will continue to be mailed to parents each month until they are paid in full, but there will be no new meal charges added starting January 2024. Thank you!
