2025-2026 supply list
Please keep in mind that students will not maintain personal school supplies and all items will be shared with the full class. If a student is unable to bring supplies, we will ensure they have all they need.
*Note that all PreK 3 and PreK 4 students will have rest time every day and should bring a blanket or nap mat with them every week. It will be sent home each weekend to be laundered.
This schedule is a general guideline for how your student's day is spent at Winn Montessori. Times for many periods will vary among grade levels and even from class to class.
*Only K-5 students attend music, art, and PE **All PreK students have rest time in the afternoons. |

All Winn students receive free breakfast and lunch. Students set their tables during these meals and serve each other food from communal dishes in their classrooms as a part of the Montessori curriculum.
- The menu can be viewed on the School Cafe site.
- Students are HIGHLY encouraged to eat school meals but may bring a healthy meal from home if they wish.
- AISD food service is able to accommodate a wide variety of allergies and sensitivities. Visit the AISD food allergies and special diets page for more information.
- Because lunch is such an important time for building classroom community, we will only allow families to eat with students on special campus occasions.
- Students should also bring a water bottle from home every day. Snacks are acceptable but must be healthy.
- Please DO NOT send treats to class on your student’s birthday. Instead, we celebrate each birthday with a special, Montessori-inspired activity in the classroom.
School attendance is VERY important. During the 2023-24 school year alone, our school lost $266,143 in funding due to student absences. Absences are also a MAJOR factor in student success and may affect a student’s transfer status if they become excessive. Examples of excused and unexcused absences can be found on this AISD page. If a student must be absent, there are several options to document their absence:
- Complete an online form on the AISD website
- Complete a paper form in the front office
- Complete and email this form to winn@austinisd.org
- All regular campus communications will go through email and/or text (depending on what communication method families have selected in the parent portal).
- Our principal will send out a monthly newsletter with everything families need to know about the weeks and month ahead.
- The school calendar contains all important dates. Consider subscribing to add it to your personal calendar.
- Please contact your student’s guide via email or phone if you would like to meet. All conferences and meetings must be scheduled ahead of time.
- Please give staff members 24 hours to respond to calls or emails. If you have any urgent needs, please call the front office.
- Don’t forget to follow Winn Montessori on Twitter and Facebook and join the Winn Montessori Families group on Facebook.
Winn Montessori is a homework-free school. Students are encouraged to read each evening at a grade-appropriate level. Winn Montessori uses a Standards-based Grading Rubric for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Report cards at the end of each nine-week grading period indicate each child's progression on grade-level TEKS-based standards in the language of instruction. Scale Grading
The scale grades are each assigned a percentage for purposes of report cards. Percentage Grading
A student's reported grades in each academic subject do not paint a full picture of their progress. Each guide will share comments on a caregiver conference form using a Montessori rubric to give an overall skills assessment. Students in dual-language classrooms will be evaluated in their preferred language. |
