Good Evening Wintergreen Families, As you may be aware many schools across the nation experienced what was a bomb threat via email today and WIMS was unfortunately one of those schools. Once we became aware of the threat the school was immediately evacuated and buses were coordinated to transport students to safety at Dunbar Hill School. Proper protocols were followed and police were immediately notified. Police have conducted a full investigation and confirmed that our building is now safe to return to tomorrow morning. I want to thank the staff of Wintergreen for their courage and steadfastness to making sure every student was accounted for, safe, and comforted at all times. I want to thank the students and parents for their cooperation and flexibility during this time. I want to thank ACES Transportation and First Student Transportation for their efforts in making sure students were picked up and brought home safely from our evacuation areas. I want to thank the Hamden First Responders who came to assist us today. Finally, I want to thank the Principal and staff of Dunbar Hill for their hospitality and support in welcoming Wintergreen students and staff into their school. Again WIMS has been determined safe by the Police investigators and we will be in session tomorrow (Friday) morning for normal operations. Have a great evening and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning at 8:00AM. Thank you, Todd A. Solli, Principal

K-5 families: Please return this flyer by this Friday December 7th if you are interested.

Mrs. Olsen’s and Ms. Devaney’s classes won the “Pink Party” contest today to recognize a cure for breast cancer. They were the two classes that represented the color pink with the greatest number of students dressed in it! Each child that participated brought in $1.00, all of which will be donated to find a cure! WIMS thanks the Hamden Police Department for getting involved as well! They brought their pink cruiser on the WIMS premises to recognize the contest and also made a donation to Breast Cancer Awareness. Great community connections! #aceswimsworks
