The Winnebago Middle School will be holding its ninth annual garage sale on Sat., Oct.9, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m at the Winnebago Middle School, 407 North Elida, Winnebago.  Most items will be sold for 50 cents.  Fill a bag for $1 starting at 10:00 a.m. 

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) requires Illinois students to receive a "full" physical exam within one year of entering any pre-Kindergarten/Early Childhood program, Kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades.

As tradition, the final day before spring break included the parade of tractors and the farmer’s breakfast. This year's event took place on Fri. March 26.

Illegal parking at the main campus of the Winnebago Schools during special events has become a safety problem with many visitors parking in fire lanes, double parking, and blocking in other cars. The school district has an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Winnebago that allows police to ticket vehicles for illegal parking.

Now that the school year is underway, many of you will be attending games to show your support.  While we hope you will attend the events to support our schools, it also is imperative that any student fifth grade and younger is accompanied by an adult. 

Parents and guardians on our field trips are welcomed and appreciated! Not only is it a great educational time to spend with your child, but also a super bonding experience between parent and child.

One of the first school experiences parents share with their child is screening for our preschool program. We have developed a list of answers to assist with your possible questions.
