Communications

We strive to keep our school community consistently informed on important matters including announcements, emergencies, Board decisions, special events, daily activities, and Districtwide construction occurring through 2025. Our Communication efforts are informed by Strategic Plan goals and intended to bring the Tenets of Progressive Education and District Portraits of a Graduate and Educator to life.

• The Winnetka Wire (monthly e-newsletter)

• The Winnetka Public Schools website and app

• Messages from the Superintendent
