Principal's Message

Dear Wineteer Families,

It is my honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. I am extremely excited to start my 24th year as a principal - and my first year as the Wineteer Principal and join this amazing community.

The staff and I are looking forward to getting the year started and share with you all that Wineteer has to offer that makes our school a special place for all children. Our educators, support staff, families and other education partners are ready to welcome you into the Thunderbird Family.

Clear and timely communication is a key piece to a successful school. Please be sure to read the Thunderbird Times that will be emailed home each Sunday night. It will contain important information from the school, PTO, the school district and other community partners. Links to each week’s Thunderbird Times will be posted on our website. 

Partnering with you to teach your child is very important to us. My door is open and our team welcomes your input. Please feel free to contact me at sspringer1@usd260.com or call the office at 316-684-9373 to make an appointment to speak with me to discuss any ideas you feel will make this the best year yet!

Go Thunderbirds!
