Welcome to Winslow Elementary School

The mission of the Vineland Public Schools is based upon the conviction that all students can learn. We recognize that learning is the result of a strong partnership of parents, teachers and the community, as students are challenged to become active participants in the quest for excellence. Our goal is to ensure a safe, creative, stimulating and caring environment which promotes self-esteem, sound character, responsibility and respect for diversity. This will enable students to become knowledgeable, skillful, life-long learners who are contributing citizens in our changing society. We expect the best from our students and will give no less of ourselves.

Important Information for Parents, Guardians and Students

Absences
It is the policy of Winslow Elementary School to contact by phone each absentee on the day of absence. If you wish to phone in your child’s absence, please call (856) 794-6973 and ask for the office.

Tardiness
On occasion your child may be late for school. When you arrive please take your child to the office to let them know he/she has arrived. If it is after 9:20 a.m., your child will receive a late pass and be sent to the classroom.

Parent Advisory: Late Buses
Information for parents about late buses is now only a phone call away, thanks to pre-recorded announcements available from the Vineland Public Schools transportation department. The messages, which are updated twice daily, are available 24 hours a day, according to Joseph Callavini, the district's School Transportation Supervisor. To access the system, parents should call (856) 794-6700, press 8, press 1 and then press 1 again.

Medicine
When your child must take medicine during school hours please have the doctor write the information (doctor’s order) on letterhead and supply the nurse with a separate bottle, marked appropriately by the pharmacy, containing your child’s medicine. The nurse WILL NOT administer medicine without the appropriately supplied information.

Emergency School Closing
School will be delayed or closed as a safety precaution when weather conditions make travel extremely hazardous. If the closing of school becomes necessary, announcements will be made over local radio and TV stations. Listen to WVLT (92.1) on your radio for Vineland City School closings.
