Listed a few events that are happening this month at Winfield Middle School.
We are under a severe thunderstorm warning, and the buses are being held until the storm passes and they can travel safely. If you do not wish to wait, parents may come pick up their child.
ACAP testing will begin this Thursday, April 10. Testing will continue the following Monday, April 14, through Wednesday, April 16.

We're doing the listening portion of the ACAP practice test tomorrow. We encourage all students to bring their own headphones if possible. Also, we will be testing all the way thru Thursday.

At the December 2024 board meeting, it was voted to move the PD day on April 24th to April 18th . April 18th will be a PD day for faculty; students will be out of school. April 24th will be a regular school day.
Tomorrow, December 20th is a 60% day. Buses will run at 12:00 P.M. Reminder that students may arrive home earlier as not as many students are riding the buses.
Reminder: During testing, students can only check out at the specified times on the checkout notes. We want every student to have a quiet testing environment, therefore if you come for your child before the designated checkout time, we will wait until the end of the testing period to call for your child. Also be aware that with many students checking out early students may arrive home by bus a littler earlier than normal.
Reminder that tomorrow is the last day, 11/22 for middle school students to bring cans of chili for the food drive.
I would also like to remind everyone that tomorrow's dress up day is ”Put the panthers to rest”. Pajamas are allowed as long as they are school appropriate and no shorts.
Middle School Basketball games for today have been moved to Winfield Middle School gym with 2 games starting at 5 p.m. with Jr. High Girls and 7th-grade boys to follow.
This is to inform all parents/guardians that the first nine-week report cards were sent home today. Report cards contain the grades for the first grading period but also how many times a student has missed a class. Remember that all absences count towards the total number of missed days. When a student reaches 18 days, they are required to attend summer school. Also, students should bring a checkout note for anyone checking out for homecoming tomorrow. These notes are for your convenience, and if you cannot find them, you can write one to help us assist in picking up your child. Anyone who does not bring a note will require the parent to come to the office to check out the student.
Tryouts for the 7/8 grade boys basketball teams will be Thursday, October 17th. Tryouts will be right after school at the middle school gym. Students trying out will need to have a physical before trying out. Unless we already have a physical on file.
Attention, everyone! We are excited to announce that the Area Volleyball Tournament will take place in the Winfield High School gym tomorrow at 1:00 PM. Bus transportation will be provided for any middle school student who needs it and will bring them back to the middle school before school ends. Please note that season passes cannot be used for this event. Admission is $10, and there will be concessions available for purchase.
