Windom Area MS & HS has updated our electronic device policy. This information is included in the student handbook that was board approved in late July. Middle school rules surrounding electronic devices remains unchanged. HS rules have changed and personal electronic devices are not permitted in class. Students in grades 9-12 may use electronic devices during passing time at lockers and during lunch, but phones must remain in lockers for the remainder of the day and are not allowed in classrooms during class.
Windom Eagle Middle School Students and Parents, are invited to attend Middle School Orientation. 7th & 8th grade, August 27, 5th & 6th grade August 28, 6 PM each evening.

New Student Orientation is this week, here is information on this great opportunity!
Our school's website now features a new Health Office Page. Here, you can access information about what to do if your student is ill, details about immunizations and medications, and all necessary forms. Health information, action plans, and medication forms should be submitted BEFORE the start of the school year. Back-to-school nights/conferences offer a great opportunity to submit completed forms.
Please note: if you want your student (grades 6-12) to be able to self-carry acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen, you must complete a form, as it was not part of the online enrollment this year. One form is required for each medication.
https://www.windom.k12.mn.us/page/health-office
La página web de nuestra escuela ahora cuenta con una nueva Página de la Oficina de Salud. Aquí, usted puede acceder a información sobre qué hacer si su estudiante está enfermo, detalles sobre inmunizaciones y medicamentos, así como todos los formularios necesarios. La información de salud, los planes de acción y los formularios de medicación deben enviarse ANTES del inicio del año escolar. Las noches de regreso a la escuela/conferencias ofrecen una excelente oportunidad para entregar los formularios completos.
Por favor, tenga en cuenta: si desea que su estudiante (de grados 6-12) pueda llevar acetaminofén y/o ibuprofeno por sí mismo, necesitará completar un formulario, ya que no formaba parte de la inscripción en línea este año. Se requiere un formulario para cada medicamento.
