On Smoothie Wednesdays, Jamba Juice offers smoothies to our students. Students can choose from Strawberry, Banana, or Peach Mango for $4 each. They come with a straw and lid, so students can take them to class. They are a huge hit, and sell out fast! Volunteer information here.

To pre-pay for smoothies, send a Venmo to @Lauren-Perry-21 by 9pm Tuesday night with your child's name, and they can pick up Wednesday morning. Cash is also accepted.

February 6th is Spring Picture Day! LifeTouch packets will come home with information on how to order your photos. PTO will be on hand the day of pictures to help each Wildcat look their best.

As announced in the July 24th edition of InFocus, Winstead has a new kiosk for parent sign-in!

Visitors to Williamson County schools will need to go through a slightly different process when entering a school building this year. A new visitor check in system was piloted at several schools last year, and based on the success of the pilot, it will be implemented across the district in 25-26.

As always, all visitors will need their driver's license or photo ID to enter the building. (Must have physical ID, not a picture on your phone.) 

After entering the front office, visitors will stop at the kiosk and click "Visitors" to start the process:

1. Click "Check In" and take a photo. After taking the photo, click "Close."
2. Hold the driver's license in front of the camera located on the back of the iPad and take a photo. Flip the driver's license over to scan the bar code.

3. Select the destination.

4. Click "Check In" one final time to print a visitor badge.

Reach out to the office if you have any questions about the visitor procedure.
