Dear Winfield Middle School Parents,

I hope this message finds you well. It has been somewhat of a trying week here at school, and I wanted to take a moment to reach out and share a few thoughts with you.

In the coming days, we will be revisiting our Treatment Agreement with all students, as some have forgotten important aspects of how we interact with both peers and adults in our building. This time of year can be challenging for everyone, and I know many of us are looking forward to a much-needed break.

I want to assure you that our staff is here for your children, and we are committed to always doing “What’s Best for Students.” If you have concerns or issues, please be sure to contact your child’s teacher directly so we can work together to address them.

As parents, we all like to think our children are perfect little angels—even mine (and yes, I say that with a bit of sarcasm). However, it’s important to make sure you are receiving all of the information about what is happening at school. Our students are learning to be more independent and figuring things out for themselves. I encourage you to ask yourself, “Are you preparing your child for the real world? Are you preparing them to handle adversity well?” While that may sound harsh, the reality is that our students are very capable of overcoming challenges. They need your guidance and direction—and for you to allow them to overcome challenges and adversity.

We care deeply about your children, and we remain committed to doing what is best for students each and every day. 

We also have Black Hawk Middle School in Warrenton in our thoughts and prayers after yesterday's tragedy.

We are in this together, and I truly believe that our partnership is essential for your child's growth and development.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

J.C. Kime

Principal, Winfield Middle School

At Winfield Middle School, our Treatment Agreement serves as the foundation for how we treat each other every day. It guides open communication and helps us restore relationships whenever conflicts arise. By empowering every voice and encouraging honest conversation, our goal is for students and staff to solve problems together and build a supportive, respectful community.

Pastor Matt and Hope Assembly brought gift baskets to our staff!

Mrs. Schulte visited with students about cosmetology. 

Missouri law now requires stricter fingerprint background checks for school volunteers who may be left alone with students or have access to student records. Volunteers must complete this process and be cleared by the District before working alone with students. Additionally, volunteers must sign and return required forms within 60 days of fingerprinting and complete the volunteer form within the first five days of the school year to remain active. Most volunteers, who are not left alone with students or do not access student records, must complete the Family Care Safety Registry background check, which does not require fingerprinting. All costs for background checks are the volunteer’s responsibility, and questions can be directed to Ericka Dixon at the contact information provided.

We are only weeks away from School starting. Make sure that you and your students are wearing the latest gear for Winfield Middle School. We receive 10% off of every order and that goes directly back to the students.
