November 2021
Message From Mrs. Zeman
I am so grateful for our Washington families! It was great to see you all at conferences engaging in conversations about how our students are growing and their next steps in their learning. It was also really fun to see so many of you at Turkey Bingo last Friday!
Our bus drivers could use your help in reminding students about appropriate behavior on the bus. Please talk with your students about the importance of following the driver's directions, using appropriate language, staying seated while the bus is in motion and wearing the mask per the federal regulation. We want all of our students to be safe on the bus.
A reminder that we DO NOT have school 11/24, 11/25 or 11/26. I hope you enjoy spending time with family and friends over the long weekend!
Mrs. Zeman, Principal

Pick Up Lane
Please remember that the line on 14th Street is a moving pick up lane. Stay in your car and pull all the way up to the first sign so that we can keep the line moving. Our staff out there are trying to keep the line moving to maximize the number of cars in the pick up zone. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
If you are picking up elsewhere (on a nearby street), please make sure your kids are crossing the street safely. We have been contacted by some concerned neighbors about safety when cars are lined up on both sides of 13th Street and students are trying to find their rides.

PTO Updates
We are planning a Tall/Small Dance on February 18th. This will have a Luau theme and will be for Washington students and guardians; watch for a registration form to come home at the end of January. We are looking for help with planning the event. There are various areas we are seeking help including: decorations, food, tickets, set up and clean up. Please contact the Washington PTO if you are able to help. In order to pull off big events like this, we need many hands to make it possible!
There is no December PTO meeting. We will meet again January 13th at 6:30 at Washington in the library.
Contact PTO through the Owatonna Washington PTO Facebook page or by email: President Elizabeth Veldman: washingtonowatonna761pto@gmail.com
