Our Core Values in Action at Winthrop Grade School! 🚌
Third graders in Mrs. Slocum's class did a fantastic job working together during a recent guidance lesson! Students demonstrated our school’s core Values while discussing how we can all work together to prevent bullying and create a kind, respectful, and inclusive school community. We’re proud of these Ramblers for showing that small actions can make a big difference! 💚 #WPSconnects #WGS

Our third graders got to experience the election process firsthand! Students listened to three read-alouds featuring the most recent Chickadee Award winners, then cast their votes for their favorite book. Along the way, they learned important election vocabulary, created campaign posters, and registered to vote. Mr. Milledge checked in our registered voters and handed out their ballots. And, of course, no election is complete without an “I Voted” sticker!

Our fourth graders used Unifix cubes to explore the commutative and associative properties of addition. Students discovered that addends can change order (commutative property) or be grouped in different ways (associative property) while keeping the same sum. Hands-on learning helps make these important math concepts click! 💡 #WPSconnects #WGS

Our grade school students are building their understanding of multiplication through repeated addition! Students practiced making equal groups and connecting repeated addition to multiplication while playing the game “Squares.” 🧮 A fun, hands-on way to strengthen math skills while learning through play! #WPSconnects #WGS

Our grade school students are building their early reading skills by practicing blending sounds to make words! Students used fly swatters to race to be the first to spot and “swat” the word they heard. 📖 #WPSconnects #WGS

WGS Rambler News September 2026

Take a look at some snapshots from the first few weeks of school! We’re so excited for all the learning, growing, and fun that this school year has in store. 🚌🍎📖

Here’s to a fantastic year at WGS! 💙

There has been a reported widespread electrical outage in Winthrop, including at all three of our schools. Due to not having access to running water, we are doing an early dismissal. Middle and high school students will be sent home immediately, and then the elementary students. Grade school students will be dismissed around two o clock. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to have power restored by tomorrow.
