Principal's Message
Hi Families!
What an incredible start to the school year. Our rituals and routines are running smoothly with students fully aware of what they need to be doing at any given time. If your child is struggling, please reach out to your child’s teacher, our school counselor Mrs. Hartley, our Dean of Students Mrs. Allen, and of course you can contact me directly. We want every Windemere STAR to have a successful school year.
The end of the first grading period is Oct. 30th. Remember, you can check Home Access at any time to see your child’s grades. You do not need to wait for Interims and Report cards. Just log in to the Home Access Center and you can see your child’s grades any time you want.
We are continuing to teach the students all about how to “Be a STAR” here at Windemere this year. We’ve adopted a “House” system where all students have been sorted into one of four houses: Phoenix = Safe, Pegasus = Trustworthy, Leo = Alert and Draco = Radiant. We will have house meetings throughout the year to build community and support for each other.
We are also a Stay in the Game school. This means that we are working in partnership with the Cleveland Browns to promote good attendance. The goal is that our students come to school when they are healthy and even with a slight cough or cold. If they are truly sick, they need to stay home. We aren’t promoting perfect attendance, but good attendance. Please see Mrs. Allen if you have any questions.
At any time if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or myself. We are here to help and we are committed to working together as a team to see each of your children grow and thrive. Windemere - This is the way!
Thank you,
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong

Dear STAR Families,
Welcome to a new school year! It is with great excitement that we open our doors and begin another year of learning, growth, and opportunity. Our school theme, "This Is the Way," serves as a reminder that every choice we make helps shape the path to success. Together, we will encourage our students to lead with character, persevere through challenges, and strive to be their very best each day. As members of our STARs community, we are committed to living out our core expectations: Be Safe, Be Trustworthy, Be Alert, and Be Radiant. These guiding principles create a positive school culture where students feel valued, respected, and empowered to learn. By practicing these expectations in our classrooms, hallways, on the playground, and in our community, our Stars will continue to shine brightly and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Our dedicated staff is eager to partner with you in providing an engaging and supportive learning environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you for the trust you place in us each day. Together, we will make this a year filled with meaningful learning, memorable experiences, and countless reasons to celebrate. Welcome back, and thank you for being an important part of our Star family. We look forward to an outstanding school year as we walk this journey together—because this is the way.

Hello Families!
We are so very busy working and learning each and every day that time is truly flying by. The first grading period has come to an end. Report cards will come home with the students next week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher.
As the holidays draw closer, we will have a lot of activities here at school. Please make sure that you are checking your child’s backpacks every night. As you know, we have high academic and behavioral expectations for our students. We expect our students to strive to be a Windemere STAR every day.
While you are helping your child with homework, make sure that you are encouraging their effort. It’s not always about getting it right, but it is always about putting in the effort and trying. It’s ok for them to have some productive struggle with concepts and skills from school. Please make sure that they are trying and putting forth their best effort. That’s how our teachers know what your child can and can not do on their own.
Thank you for your continued support, and don’t forget to reach out if you ever have any questions or concerns!

Hi Families!
We are really flying through this school year. The end of the first grading period is Oct. 24th. Report cards will come home about a week later. For parents of students in grades 2-5, don’t wait for interims and report cards to check your child’s progress. You can do that every day using Home Access. If you aren’t familiar with Home Access, please call Mrs. Ake in the office and she will gladly help you get that set up.
At Windemere we are the STARs. We strive each and every day to Be Safe, Be Trustworthy, Be Alert and to Be Radiant. These qualities are all in our PBIS matrix. You can ask your child(ren) each day how he/she exhibited these qualities that day. We also are in alignment with the district’s Portrait of a Scholar.
At any time if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or myself. We are here to help and we are committed to working together as a team to see each of your children grow and thrive!
Thank you,
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back to another bright and exciting school year at Windemere CLC, home of the Stars! We’re thrilled to see our young learners return, ready to shine. In these early years, consistent attendance is one of the best ways to help your child grow academically and socially. Each day in class helps build strong habits, friendships, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. As Stars, we believe that showing up, being present, and doing our best each day helps us all shine a little brighter. Thank you for your partnership in making attendance a top priority—together, we’ll help our Stars reach new heights this year!

We have the following new staff members to welcome:

Kelly Krebs - ½ day ELP

Open House will be Tuesday, August 19th, from 4:00-6:00:
This is the perfect time for you and your child to meet his/her teacher. If you have supplies that you would like to drop off, that would be great. This is not a time to share any personal information about your child as others will be present. Our PTA will be here, so please feel free to stop by and join PTA while you are here. The YMCA will be here to give you information about their after-school care program as well.

Mandatory Testing KG students:
Kindergarten students will be coming in by appointment on August 21st & 22nd to complete a mandatory screening assessment. Mrs. Ake, our school secretary, emailed a link via Sign Up Genius to our KG parents/guardians to schedule this screening assessment. If you don’t see an email in your inbox from Melissa Ake, please check your spam folder. As always, call our office at 330-761-7937 if you have any questions.
First Days of School:
For the first two days of school, parents of students in KG & 1st grade may walk their child to class. Upon arrival to the classroom, please drop off your child and let him/her start their learning day. We ask that you do not loiter as our experience has shown it makes it harder to leave for both you and your child.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders start school on August 21st.
PreK & KG students start school on August 25th.
Student Dress and Grooming - Please read regarding the dress code.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HhkZSCK7RthjnckAD5QuK9EyEOtN-6Q6SPwmU4sTJH0/edit?usp=sharing
Starting our School Day:
Our school day is from 8:25 – 2:30.
The morning announcements will begin at 8:25 sharp. The official tardy bell is at 8:30. If your child is not in their classroom by the 8:30 bell, he/she is considered tardy.
You must come into the building to sign in your child if he/she is tardy.
Breakfast is available to all students beginning at 7:50. They enter from Door #5 on the playground. Please drop your child off at the back of the building on Emerald Drive, near Door #8.
Students who are not eating breakfast in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades can wait at Door #1 beginning at 8:00. Students in KG, 1st and 2nd grades can wait at Door #10 beginning at 8:00. Children who arrive earlier than 8:00 will be sent to breakfast. Please remember there is no supervision at those doors until 8:00.
At 8:15 Door #10 will be closed and locked once all of the waiting children are inside. If you arrive after 8:15, please drop off your child at Door #1.
Arrival/Dismissal:
Safe Delivery - Please read regarding our parking lot procedures.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CWvPzLvNs6L1f5upPtG7Jh9eikVT2mHxBBhaUnjSe80/edit?usp=sharing
Dismissal will be slightly staggered:
2:25 - KG & 1st grade (Door #1)
2:30 - 2nd/3rd (Door #1) & 4th/5th (Door #10)
Returning Student Registration form (Emergency Card):
All parents/guardians will need to log into their Home Access Center account and complete your child’s Returning Student Registration form, which is their Emergency Card. This must be done every year even if there is no change to your information. Please remember that an emergency contact is just that. We cannot release your child during the school day to anyone but the guardian without the express oral or written consent from the guardian. All guardians will be contacted every time someone else tries to sign a child out of school. In today’s day and age, we appreciate your continued support in keeping your children safe at all times.
Attendance:
Please read our Attendance Welcome letter! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMd5eF1CQGstdKWZB0LT4Ss8s-R_m94ONrzD2XHX9AQ/edit?usp=sharing Also, please note, open enrollment is a privilege, not a right. Students attending under open enrollment must maintain acceptable attendance to continue at our school.
PBIS:
We will continue to focus on how we can all “Be a STAR.” It stands for: Be Safe, Be Trustworthy, Be Alert, Be Radiant. We will teach and reinforce these expectations for the children. Please ask your child how they were a STAR each day at school. Here is our PBIS Matrix. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O8Y-4GAVr-53-tBVD7BhWYFGeAWRVsZqtsjtjD9iS24/edit?usp=sharing Students can earn Start Tickets for exhibiting the behaviors in our PBIS Matrix. 10 Star Tickets = 1 Star Buck. The students can then use their Star Bucks to purchase items from our PBIS School Store.
The Zones of Regulation:
The Zones of Regulation will also continue to be used throughout this school year. This program fits perfectly within our PBIS focus. The Zones of Regulation is a framework to foster self-regulation and emotional control. None of the zones are bad, and they are all accepted. The Green Zone is; however, the optimal zone for learning as those emotions are ones of calm, focus, and happiness. The other zones are Blue (sad, tired, sick), Red (Mad, Elated, Out of control), and Yellow (silly, worried, frustrated). Feel free to talk about them with your child, and discuss the tools that he/she is using here at school.
Communication:
Please make sure that you are regularly sending Dojo messages, calling or emailing your child’s teacher with any possible questions or concerns. We believe in open, two-way communication. If you continue to have a concern, please contact Mrs. Allen, our Dean of Students or myself. You can also use the following email address to file a concern/complaint with the district: SchoolConcerns@apslearns.org or please call Penny Pletikapich at 330.761.3188.
I will be making a weekly All-Call and email every Friday to your primary phone number and the email we have on file, so it’s important to keep this information up to date. You can also get important information by joining our PTA Facebook page. Your teacher will tell you the best ways to reach him/her during Open House.
We look forward to seeing you at Open House!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong, Principal

Hello Everyone!
I can’t believe we are nearing the end of this school year. It’s so exciting to reflect on all of the amazing things that have been accomplished so far. We still have a little ways to go. Please be sure to stay on top of homework assignments. It’s expected that all of our students are reading each night and practicing math facts.
Sign up for Summer Camp! There are a number of options for summer camps and activities offered for FREE by Akron Public Schools. Check out this website to see what is available, and register your child(ren) today!
Kindergarten Registration is open online! Please click on this link to register. Feel free to share this information with anyone you know who has a KG student and needs to register.
I also want to thank you for your support and effort all year as we worked together to ensure that Windemere remains a successful, safe, and welcoming school. We value the importance of our partnerships with our students’ families and our community.
Thank you!

Hello Everyone!
I can’t believe it’s already April and we are in the 4th grading period! Spring Break is April 18th through the 25th. We are back at school on April 28th. We still have a ways to go before the end of this school year. Please be sure to stay on top of homework assignments. It’s expected that all of our students are reading each night and practicing math facts.
Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration is open online! Please click on this link to register. Feel free to share this information with anyone you know who has a PreK or KG student and needs to register.
We have begun OST testing! For specific testing dates for your student in Grades 3-5, please ask your child’s teacher. We need to continue to have good attendance as we tackle these assessments. Speaking of good attendance, we will have an attendance pop-up shop for those students who have 27 attendance STAR tickets by April 10th. We started this incentive in March so students would have plenty of chances to earn the tickets. We need our students in school on time each and every day unless they are truly sick.
Thank you!

Hello Families!
We are busy, busy, busy!!
As time continues to fly by, we are also realizing how close we are to the end of the 3rd quarter! The 28th is the end of Marking Period three, and we will only have one more quarter to go to finish this school year. By now, routines should be well-established for completing homework. Many teachers require that students are reading at home each night as well as proactive math facts. You can always ask your scholar how he/she acted like a Windemere STAR at school?
As always, thank you for your continued support as we make our way through this school year. Windemere is the best school in APS, and we are proud of our students, families, staff, and community!
Thank you!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Let’s talk Attendance. In order for us to avoid a demotion from the state on our state report card due to Chronic Absenteeism we must achieve a high attendance rating. As a Cleveland Browns Stay in the Game school, we are shooting for 96%! Every week on the announcements we are congratulating the classrooms that are meeting that goal. We really need all students at school, ON TIME, every day. Yes, tardies and early sign-outs count against your child’s individual attendance and against our school-wide attendance as a whole. Of course, if your child has a fever or is vomiting, he/she needs to stay home in order to get better. The typical cold; however, is not usually something that requires a day off of school. Please, please, please do your very best to get your child to school on time each and every day!
We are busily working through the 3rd grading period. Please be sure that your child is staying on top of completing their classwork and homework. They should also be reading every day and practicing math facts. To help make sure that they are understanding what they are reading, ask questions about what they read. You can also turn captions on the tv while your child is enjoying a show. It’s an easy way to get some exposure to text.
Thank you,
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy New Year! It is so wonderful to see the school bustling with happy and energetic faces again!
There are a few things to keep in mind. Please make sure that you are encouraging your child to do his/her homework. Homework is typically practice or review work that is necessary for the students to master the material. Not completing homework can have a drastic effect on school performance. Your child should also be reading and practicing math facts nightly at home. Don’t forget to ask them about the story as they read. Conversations about what they are reading are just as important as the reading itself!
Remember, we are a PBIS building. We are the Windemere STARS! Every day we are striving to Be Safe, Be Trustworthy, Be Alert and Be Radiant. We talk about this everyday with our students. Please talk to them at home as well.
For parents who pick up their children in the parking lot every day, please remember if you want to pick up your child at the door you must park in the parking lot. There is no parking in the pick-up lane. If you are in the pick-up lane, please continue to pull your car forward until you are at the back of the car in front of you. Gaps in the line make it difficult to keep everyone moving. If you do see a gap in the line, please don’t let that person’s mistake affect your choices. Do not get out of line and cut in front of everyone else.
As always, please reach out to us and let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong
Happy Holidays!
We still have a lot to do before winter break, so please continue to enforce those STAR behaviors so our scholars can continue to shine brightly as we finish 2024. We will be iReady testing from December 9th - 20th. Please check with your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
While you are helping your child with homework, make sure that you are encouraging their effort. It’s not always about getting it right, but it is always about putting in the effort and trying. They are expected to struggle with concepts and skills from time to time. That’s ok! We need to make sure that the work they turn in shows the teacher what they know so he/she knows how to intervene accordingly.
Winter Break is from Dec. 23rd - Jan. 3rd.
I hope that you are able to spend some valuable time with loved ones over this holiday season. Take time to rest and enjoy the company of those you care about. Thank you for your continued support, and don’t forget to reach out if you ever have any questions or concerns!

Hello Families!
I simply cannot believe that it is November already! We are so very busy working and learning each and every day that time is truly flying by. The first grading period has come to an end. Report cards will come home the week of Nov. 11th.
Please make sure that you are checking backpacks every night. We are sending things home regularly that need a guardian’s attention. Students should also be reading and working on math facts every night unless they have other homework.
We are the Windemere STARS. Each day we focus on how to Be Safe, Trustworthy, Alert and Radiant. We are also incorporating the attributes of the Portrait of a Scholar and SEL character traits. For the 1st quarter we worked on Self-Awareness, and now we are focusing on Social Awareness and Self-Management. Please continue to talk to your child about all of these concepts at home.

Dear Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are so very excited to kick-off this school year continuing with our theme “Windemere is out of this world!” We are the Windemere STARS, and each day we will strive to Be Safe, Be Trustworthy, Be Alert and to Be Radiant. For the month of September we will also be working on our Social Skills with being kind and respectful. We will work on our Real-World Skills with being on time every day and coming to school to learn every day. This supports the Portrait of a Scholar for Akron Public Schools and learning about our Social Awareness.
If you haven’t done so already, please join our PTA. They do a spectacular job of supporting us and enriching our community. There are a variety of ways that you can become involved too! To find out how, join the PTA Facebook page. They are frequently posting important reminders about upcoming events, and it’s a great place to get answers to some of your general questions about school or PTA.
We believe in effective communication, so please ask your child’s teacher when you have a question or a concern. All of us here at Windemere are dedicated to you and to your children!
This school year is going to be our best year yet! Thank you for sharing your children with us!!
Go Stars!!

Hi Families!
What an incredible start to the school year. Our rituals and routines should be running smoothly with students fully aware of what they need to be doing at any given time. If your child is struggling, please reach out to your child’s teacher, our school counselor Mrs. Hartley, our Dean of Students Mrs. Allen, and of course you can contact me directly. We want every Windemere STAR to have a successful school year.
The end of the first grading period is Oct. 20th. Remember, you can check Home Access at any time to see your child’s grades. You do not need to wait for Interims and Report cards. Just log in to the Home Access Center and you can see your child’s grades any time you want.
We are continuing to teach the students all about how to “Be a STAR” here at Windemere this year. Please talk to your child about how they are exhibiting the characteristics of Being Safe, Trustworthy, Alert and Radiant.
We are also a Stay in the Game school. This means that we are working in partnership with the Cleveland Browns to promote good attendance. The goal is that our students come to school when they are healthy and even with a slight cough or cold. If they are truly sick, they need to stay home. We aren’t promoting perfect attendance, but good attendance. Please see Mrs. Allen if you have any questions.
At any time if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or myself. We are here to help and we are committed to working together as a team to see each of your children grow and thrive!
Thank you,
Mrs. Lee-Wilfong
