Message from Mrs. Zeman
Hello Washington Families,
It has been such an amazing start to the 2022-2023 school year! Thank you for all you do at home to help our transition back to school go smoothly. We love to partner with families to help our students grow! One way to partner with us is to ask specific questions about their day. I'm going to include some questions in our newsletters that you could use to start conversations if you are interested.
*What are the We Are Washington expectations on the playground?
*What did you do or play during recess today?
We will continue to support students with understanding and following the expectations throughout their day so that we can maximize learning. We are grateful for your support at home.
Please consider coming to any of the PTO meetings that you can attend this year! We are looking to grow our numbers so that we can offer more opportunities for family engagement.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions.
Mrs. Zeman

Drop Off/Pick Up
The pickup lane on 14th St is a moving lane so please DO NOT leave your vehicle at any time. Staff will work with students to watch for their vehicle and have them ready to go.
In order to provide the safest drop off and pick up, students will only be allowed to cross the street where safety patrol is located, unless a parent or guardian is escorting across the street.
Outdoor supervision begins at 7:40am, and students are let into the building at 7:45am. The final bell rings at 7:55am. All students will be dismissed by 2:25pm.
