Welcome back family! It is great seeing you and hopefully you have a lot of time recharging again. As we move forward, there are a couple of things we would like for you to consider:
1) We will move forward with our cafeteria/recess revisions later this week, once a few tweaks are made. Thanks for your openness and willingness to work together to address challenges. #ProblemSolvingAtItsBest
2) We will have Teachers Training Teachers this Wednesday after dismissal. A sign up will be sent out today, so be on the lookout.
Finally, teacher with urgency and expectancy. Urgency is needed because we are on the 2nd half of a great year. Expectancy because it is not wise to dig for diamonds not expecting to find them. Dig deep, through, and in spite of because there is value in you and diamonds.
We love you and are glad that you are here!

After careful consideration and ongoing monitoring of the current and forecasted weather conditions, Winona ISD has made the decision to close schools on Thursday, January 9th, and Friday, January 10th, 2025. This decision was not made lightly but with the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community as our top priority.
The decision to close schools is based on the following safety considerations:
1. Hazardous Travel Conditions: Local weather reports indicate the likelihood of icy roads and unsafe driving conditions to develop on Thursday, 1/9. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and families who travel to and from school each day.
2. Severe Weather Forecast: Predicted freezing temperatures, coupled with precipitation Thursday night, create increased risks for travel and outdoor activities, including school arrival on Friday 1/9.
3. Limited Accessibility: Adverse weather may impact transportation routes, making it difficult for buses and vehicles to navigate rural roads and hills safely in certain areas within Winona ISD.
We encourage all families to stay updated through district communications, including our website and social media channels, for any additional updates or changes.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Please take precautions, stay warm, and stay safe during this weather event.
This is a list of things that teachers need to do prior to leaving today, in the event that we do not return due to snow. Nothing has been determined, but we are wanting to plan ahead.
--Unplug any refrigerators or heaters. Please take out any perishable items
--Take any materials home for planning that you might need to ensure you are ready for Monday - for example: HQIM, handouts from training such as thinking maps that must be incorporated into lesson plans, materials to plan your small groups/agmo, chrome book to access Edugence to plan STAAR like questions for daily exposure, etc.
--Parental contacts made for tutorials to begin the week of 1/13/25 (if you are starting now).
Most of all, please take care of yourselves and families. Stay safe and warm. We will see you when we see you!
Monzon, Dozier & Young
