The Winnetka Public Schools

This weekend is the worldwide recognition of International Womens Day. We are especially grateful for the many incredible women who pour their hearts into the Winnetka schools community!? ?? ?? ?? #youbelonghere

??? Don't miss this special edition of "Winnetka Voices!" To counter the growing disruption of personal technology, a bold decision was made to ensure The?Winnetka?Public Schools campuses are cell phone free.?Dr. Kelly Tess is joined by?Flossmoor School District 161?Superintendent, Dr. Dana Smith, who spearheaded this movement in Illinois. The conversation touches on research highlighted in the recent bestseller?"The Anxious Generation." Students Ellie and Lulu share their candid thoughts on the “new normal” in middle school in?Winnetka. The upshot: “It's not that big of a deal…you get used to it.” #youbelonghere

During the annual Month of Service and Learning (MOSAL) at Hubbard Woods School, students assembled toiletry kits and collected over 3,200 pairs of socks to benefit children in need. These efforts were supported by the Hubbard Woods staff, PTO and parent volunteers, and local charitable organization, The Grace Network (founded by a Hubbard Woods alum!) To celebrate the culmination of MOSAL, students enjoyed an all-school Sock Hop together. ?? #youbelonghere

Today marks the start of Public Schools Week, an annual celebration dedicated to honoring public schools across the nation. We are truly thankful for the incredible Winnetka staff, School Board, and families serving our students, who are at the center of everything we do. Our teachers pour their hearts and minds into this work every day. As a Hubbard Woods teacher recently shared: “Seeing students be curious sparks joy!” Thank you to all in our community who have advocated for excellence in public education for generations in Winnetka! ?#PSW25 #youbelonghere
