Win-E-Mac to host open house

During the last year, driving past the school or dropping off your students, Win-E-Mac school residents have noticed the construction going on to the new addition of the school. Nearing completion this summer, the new facility will be ready to use for the 2015-2016 school year and for years to come.

On Wednesday, September 2 Win-E-Mac school will host an Open House from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm for students, parents and community members to come in and see the new addition to the school.  Everyone is invited to come and tour the new Arts and Event Center that has been a work in progress over the last school year and throughout the summer. Finally completed, the facility holds a new stage and theater set-up with a convertible seating area, so that the room may be used as a gymnasium as well, locker rooms and a fitness facility. There has also been improvements and an addition made to the industrial arts area of the school and modifications to the FAC’s and band/choir rooms.

There will be a lunch of sandwich, chips, brownie and a drink to all who attend the open house and will be served from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. The lunch will be sponsored by: 1st National Bank of McIntosh; American State Bank, Erskine & Grygla; ICS Consulting; Ultima Bank Minnesota, Winger & Fosston; Unity Bank North, Mentor & Red Lake Falls; and Garden Valley Telephone Company.

During the open house parents and students will have the opportunity to do a number of “housekeeping” tasks to start off the new school year including new student enrollment, stopping into the classrooms to meet your teachers, paying fees such as lunch account and activity payments.

There will also be an opportunity for parents to sign up for synergy, the school’s database program to check on student progress, as well as instant alerts to closing and any other information that a parent would need to know.

Bus routes and schedules will be available for parents and students alike.

Informational booths will be set up in the commons area for the school to provide information about such things as student activity groups and other pertinent topics.
