Dear Windsor Families,
We are aware that the ongoing federal government shutdown may impact access to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits beyond October 31, 2025. We know this may create challenges for some families, and we want you to know that Windsor Public Schools is here to support you. We would like to reassure all families that there are no changes to student meal benefits as a result of the recent State SNAP benefit shutdown. All current meal benefits will remain unchanged. Students will continue to receive their school meals as usual, and eligibility for meal benefits will also continue through the normal 30-day rollover period into the next school year.
We want to emphasize that students’ access to school meals will not be affected in any way. If you have any questions, please contact the Windsor Public Schools Food Service Department.
Through the Office of Family & Community Partnerships (OFCP), we are setting up mini food banks in every school to support families who may need short-term food assistance during this time. We are asking if you can donate non-perishable food items, particularly those that our students are most likely to eat, such as:
-Cereal
-Peanut butter and jelly
-Granola bars
-Mac & cheese
-Pasta
-Canned fruit or vegetables
-Rice
-etc.
Please make sure to check expiration dates before donating.
Collection & Drop-Off:
-Elementary & Middle Schools: Family Resource Coordinators (FRCs) in each building will collect items from the front office and store them in their rooms.
-Windsor High School: Please bring donated items directly to the main office.
Please reach out to your school’s Family Resource Coordinator (FRC) or main office if your family could benefit from this support. For additional local resources, visit the town of Windsor SNAP & Food Resources! or contact the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank for more information.
As always, we remain committed to caring for our Windsor students and families. Together, we’ll get through this.
December 23rd is officially an early release day! Please see the new calendar approved by the Board of Education by following this link.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We would like to invite you to meet with your student's teachers during our WHS Parent Conference Day scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 2025. October 16th will be an early release day for students, with time scheduled for teachers to meet with you in either the afternoon or the evening. Parent conferences are designed to allow parents, students, and teachers to meet to discuss a student’s progress and to address any academic challenges.
The important information is summarized below:
When: Thursday, October 16, 2025
10-minute individual conferences available from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Where: Windsor High School
What/Who: An opportunity for any and all parents and guardians to meet your child’s teacher(s) and discuss academic goals and suggested support on an individual basis.
We are pleased to tell you that conference sign-up will again be done online through MyConferenceTime, which will open for appointments at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 1st. If you do not have computer access, please feel free to call the school to schedule your appointments. Also, we urge you to use the Parent Portal to check your child’s grades—Progress Reports were available as of September 24th.
All conferences will be 10 minutes in length. At the end of your 10-minute conference, you may schedule additional time on another day if necessary. Conferences with counselors, social workers, and school psychologists are also available. Please do not schedule back-to-back conferences—allow time for you to travel from one classroom to another! In preparation for the event, please look over your student’s progress report with your student and identify classes that you and/or your student feel would benefit from conference time. Should a teacher’s schedule be filled, please feel free to request a meeting time during our regular hours or another mutually agreeable time.
