Connecting with Our Future
Our Purpose
Our school goal: “During the 2019-2020 school year, Washington Middle School will connect with others, connect to our own learning and connect to our future. Our connectedness will be measured by smiles, celebrations, feedback and learning targets.”
Time to Master Our Process
We are pleased to welcome Vicki Ritchie to our Learning Community as our interim associate principal. She has extensive experience in special education and as an administrator at Horace Mann Middle School in Sheboygan. Since her retirement a few years ago, Vicki has filled temporary positions as school counselor and instructional coach. She is excited to work with our students and support our staff. Vicki's first day at Washington will be next Thursday February 13 and she will be with us for the remainder of the school year.
Autonomy
- Teams are relentless when setting up parent contact and requesting parent meetings. These teams are not ok with leaving a message or no shows... they are calling, sending letters using snail mail, and texting until they hear back and make parent contact.
- We learned from the first middle school parent conferences and teams are bring a creative approach to parent conferences. One team is asking parents to identify when (in a two hour window) they are available and then will schedule a time for each family.
