After careful consideration and ongoing monitoring of the current and forecasted weather conditions, Winona ISD has made the decision to close schools on Thursday, January 9th, and Friday, January 10th, 2025. This decision was not made lightly but with the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community as our top priority. The decision to close schools is based on the following safety considerations: 1. Hazardous Travel Conditions: Local weather reports indicate the likelihood of icy roads and unsafe driving conditions to develop on Thursday, 1/9. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and families who travel to and from school each day. 2. Severe Weather Forecast: Predicted freezing temperatures, coupled with precipitation Thursday night, create increased risks for travel and outdoor activities, including school arrival on Friday 1/9. 3. Limited Accessibility: Adverse weather may impact transportation routes, making it difficult for buses and vehicles to navigate rural roads and hills safely in certain areas within Winona ISD. We encourage all families to stay updated through district communications, including our website and social media channels, for any additional updates or changes. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Please take precautions, stay warm, and stay safe during this weather event.

Dress Code 24-25

Good morning, Wildcat Families, I hope that you all are well. I'm reaching out concerning a couple of things. The tardy bell rings at 7:50 AM. An adult must sign students in if they arrive after 7:50 AM. Also, I am including a picture of our 24-25 dress code policy. Please look at the policy to ensure that all students adhere to the expectations. Daily attendance is essential to ensuring that students receive the best instruction possible. Please help us be successful by sending students to school each day. We are working toward improving our attendance rate this year. Thanks for being the best part of the Winona Middle School Family.
