Weekly Update 10/29

 Dear Wines Families, 

As we enter our first full day of the Miller Rd. closure, just a reminder that our pick up and drop off procedures have changed temporarily due to the closure. All pick up and drop offs will take place at our front entrance and all traffic should enter and exit from Newport. If you are new to that side of the building, upon exiting the parking lot, please veer right towards Forsythe rather than heading back to the Newport entrance. There are small signs indicating this traffic pattern. We are asking that Young 5’s and Kindergarten families attempt to arrive in line in the afternoon by 3:35 as we would like to dismiss those students first. If you do not have a Young 5 or Kindergarten student, we ask that you please NOT arrive until 3:45. Things worked fairly well yesterday afternoon and your patience and understanding are appreciated during these next couple of weeks until the project is complete on Miller. We do anticipate things being fairly busy on Friday with a half day and no after school childcare taking place at Wines. 

Grab and Go Lunch Survey for Friday

On Friday, students will be offered a “grab and go” lunch on their way out of the building for our half day dismissal at 11:50. Lunches are meant to be eaten at home, not at school. In order to avoid preparing too much food, we are asking that families who wish to have their child receive a lunch to please fill out the brief survey below:

Halloween Oct. 31st

On Friday we will again have a costume parade through our neighborhood and most classrooms will have some kind of celebration as well. Friday is a half day of school with dismissal at 11:50. Because of the shortened day, we will have our parade first thing in the morning and we will exit school into the neighborhood at approximately 9:15. Therefore, if students are choosing to wear a costume, they should arrive to school in their costume. Costumes must be friendly. We have a firm rule of no fake blood and no fake weapons. Our rule of thumb is if you are not sure if a costume or a prop is appropriate, then it probably isn’t. 

PTO Meeting Nov. 6th 9:00 AM

Our PTO will be hosting a morning PTO meeting next Thursday in the Wines conference room. 

The Science & Builders Fair is meant to inspire young minds to learn and to innovate! This event is intended to provide an exciting environment for students to proudly display their work. No project is too simple! It is not a "judged" event -- all participants will receive a certificate. Even if your child is not participating, we encourage you to come and check out the amazing projects the students create! 

Here is the link to the registration page!

Science and Builders Fair Volunteers Needed!

Do you love science? Do you think building is rad? We need 8 - 10 curious volunteers to help make the Science + Builders Fair a success. If you can volunteer, please contact Jen Hinesman at jlhinesman@gmail.com.

Weekly Update 10/22

 Dear Wines Families, 

As we were working Driveline yesterday with a cold rain coming down, it just felt like fall had officially arrived. We’ve enjoyed a very warm start to fall, but it feels like the warm weather has left us until the spring! There is a lot to cover today with some “old” and new news. As always, please find some time to read through today’s message. 

Run-a-Thon Update

This will be our final Run-a-Thon update. We will still be collecting pledges for one more week. We are hoping that all students/families participate and each classroom with 100% participation will throw a pie in my face! So far, we have Mr. Toohey’s class with full participation and a few more almost there. Pledges can be any amount to hit our participation goal. Donations can be made in cash or check made out to “Wines PTO” or online HERE. In the link where it says Children's name, you can write your teacher’s name to help make a general pledge for the class.  Below are the totals.

Movie Night This Friday: Monsters Inc.!!

Plan on dropping off your students for Wines’ Movie Night on Friday, October 24, from 6-8PM. We will have chaperones, snacks, and a fun, free movie watching experience set up in the cafeteria. Kids can wear PJs and bring sleeping bags to sit on along with their own water bottles to watch Disney’s Monsters Inc. We will open the front doors to students at approximately 5:45 and hope to start the movie just after 6:00. The movie runs about an hour and a half so parents can return a little after 7:30 to begin picking students up. 

If you’ve been to Movie Night before, you know that dismissing the students is a bit of a challenge. We will begin with parents lining up and I will call students out by name who are being picked up. Please be patient! As things slow down a bit, I will allow parents to enter the cafeteria to find your child. 

We are still looking for volunteers to help make this event a success! Click here to sign up:

Final Walktober Friday!

We’ve had a fabulous Walktober this month. Our final walk to school day is this Friday. 

Halloween Oct. 31st

Next Friday, Oct. 31st, is a special day here at Wines. We will again have a costume parade through our neighborhood and most classrooms will have some kind of celebration as well. Next Friday is a half day of school with dismissal at 11:50. Because of the shortened day, we will have our parade first thing in the morning and we will exit school into the neighborhood at approximately 9:15. Therefore, if students are choosing to wear a costume, they should arrive to school in their costume. 

Costumes must be friendly. As a parent, I remember how difficult it was to find real “friendly” costumes. With that in mind, however, we have a firm rule of no fake blood and no fake weapons. Our rule of thumb is if you are not sure if a costume or a prop is appropriate, then it probably isn’t. 

Our parade route has us exit on Cooley Ave. and head left onto Saunders Crescent. We then turn left onto Hillridge where we will eventually turn into the connecting sidewalk that goes from Hillridge through the Forsythe athletic fields and right to Wines. A great place for parents to be to watch the parade is along that sidewalk from Hillridge to Wines. 

The Science & Builders Fair is meant to inspire young minds to learn and to innovate! This event is intended to provide an exciting environment for students to proudly display their work. No project is too simple! It is not a "judged" event -- all participants will receive a certificate.

Thursday, November 6th

Please arrive at 6:45pm to set up so that we can begin at 7:00pm.

Weekly Update 10/8

 Dear Wines Families, 

As we move into October, it is starting to feel much more like fall and things continue to go extremely well at Wines. Our teachers are working extraordinarily hard as we implement a completely new reading curriculum and our students are working equally as hard as the curriculum has really increased the rigor in our classrooms. Today was a great morning for a Walk to School Day!

Congratulations Sarah Schemanske!

Sarah Schemanske has been named a 2025-26 Outstanding PLTW Teacher. This award recognizes outstanding educational leaders across the U.S. for their commitment to providing students with meaningful learning experiences through Project Lead The Way (PLTW) programs. Sarah was one of 16 PLTW Launch teachers nationwide to receive this recognition. Way to go, Sarah!!

Again, I want to thank our community for another successful Run-a-Thon.

Dogs on Campus

We have recently received some messages from families expressing concern about dogs on campus during our busy morning and afternoon pick up and drop off times. We do have a number of students with allergies and/or fear of dogs and while we have historically not strongly enforced district policy, our schools are dog free zones from 8:00AM until 4:00 PM. I love dogs and all the dogs that have come on our property have been leashed and well behaved. However, I must ask that we abide by the policy for the well-being of our students.

Walktober 2025!

What is Walktober? It's an event that encourages Wines families to explore greener ways to get to school and to move away from commuting alone by car. Its aim is to bring awareness to the benefits of travel options such as bicycling, walking, and scooting and to inspire families to give them a try! This can also include parking a little further away from campus than usual and walking, biking or scooting from there. There will be volunteers at the four entrances to the school grounds giving out stamps to the kids and cheering them on. 

Our inaugural Walktober event, Wednesday October 8th, is National Walk/Bike to School Day. Tables will be set up outside both school entrances to welcome our kids with stickers, music and celebration. After the second bell, parents and caregivers are invited to the picnic tables for coffee and bagels. 

*If your family is biking to school, see the Bike Bus flyer with morning meet up times and locations for the 8th.

Walktober Dates:

Wednesday, October 8th

Friday, October 17th

Friday, October 24th

Parent volunteers are needed ***** Check out the Sign Up Genius to join our parent morning cheer squad to hand out stamps to the kids from 8:15-8:50. We’ll have music and noise makers while we enjoy our Michigan fall and a little less car congestion.

What's a "bike bus"?

A bike bus is a group bike ride where kids and adults join together on a route to school for the morning commute. Skates, scooters, and all other riders are welcome to join!

How can I join?

Meet at the locations on the flyer at the time stated. Someone will be there waiting and the group will come pick you up!

Spirit Week Next Week

As we prepare for the Run-a-Thon next Friday, we will host our annal Run-a-Thon Spirit Week. With it only being a four day week and with Picture Day on Tuesday, we had to be creative with our days. Spirit Days are below: 

Tuesday: Nice up Top, Wacky on the Bottom. Keep it nice for picture day up top and wear wacky socks, wacky shoes, or anything else wacky down below! 

Wednesday: Pajama Day

Thursday: Favorite Team Day. 

Friday: Run-a-Thon. All students will receive a t-shirt when they arrive to school. 

Update on School Meal Program

As Superintendent Parks has shared with our community, in the event that the state legislature does not pass a budget by Oct. 1, AAPS will no longer be able to offer free breakfast and lunch for all students. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch will still receive free or reduced priced lunches and all families are still able to pay for lunch if you would like to have your child eat school prepared meals. Every Wines student already has a school lunch account and corresponding lunch card here at school. In the event that we are no longer able to provide free meals, parents simply need to set up a Meal Magic account and add money that will be debited if students purchase breakfast or lunch.

It is critical that all families fill out the EBT form regardless of your need for free or reduced priced meals. The best way to access the EBT form is to register in the Meal Magic Family Portal. On the main page you can click on the button that says “Apply for Benefits”. This is the same portal where you can add money to your child’s account described above.

https://forms.gle/6jByrDrX6jYJp1J87

Reminder: No Student Drop Off Until 8:40

I have noticed a number of unattended students lined up at the front door well before the drop off window. Please, unless you are accompanying your child, students may not line up before 8:40. This is a critical safety issue as we do not have staff on duty to supervise before 8:40. 

Library News

Welcome back to the Wines library! We’ve just begun to check out books and students are excited about what they’ll read this year. Please help your child(ren) remember to take good care of their books at home, keep them stored in a safe place (like their backpack), and return them each week. 

When are my child’s library books due each week? Book check in/out days are as follows: 

Monday: Robins, Mable, Martinez, Carlin, Rodriguez, Shanteau, Williamson

Tuesday: Buehler, Milanowski, Eikey, Day, Toohey, Kim

Notes about Personal Devices: Watches

Over the past two years or so, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of students who have “smart” watches at school. While we do not have a blanket ban on the use of watches, please note that if students are communicating or being communicated with on their device, we will put the device in their backpack and ask that they not be brought to school again. Please do not communicate with your child on a watch or any device during the school day.
