School will be here before they know it for Windom Area School Students. Right now, the Windom Middle School/High School Leadership Team is working on the student handbook for the 2023-2024 school year. Windom Area Schools Superintendent Jamie Frank wants to remind both parents and students this year’s focus is on attendance… 

The goal is to have those new student attendance and discipline policies in place for the 2023-2024 school year within the next few weeks so the school can communicate the changes in the policy to both students and parents during orientation in August. The new attendance policy will focus on making sure students are physically in class and the discipline policy will reflect trying to get students to attend more of their classes in person while also getting students into their classroom on time.
