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.
