Sleeping on the roof
Please stop by the south playground on Wednesday, May 24th at 7:15pm to wish us a goodnight and a wave. We'll be on the roof and would love to see some families visit and wave goodnight to us before we head in for a long night!
With our community almost surpassing our goal by $10,000 there are several other staff members willing to join me on the roof as well!! The following staff members have committed to spending the evening on the roof:
- Abbey Finn, Art Teacher
- Suzanne Graber, Music Teacher
- Lindsey Robinson, 2nd Grade
- Andrew Pinn, 2nd Grade
- Mary Kay Dellemann, 3rd Grade
- Patty Coleman, 3rd Grade
- Karen Zimmerman, Social Worker
- Jenni Kannass, Senior Kindergarten
Thanks,
Mr. Russell

Class Placement & Parent Input
As we plan for next school year, we ask that families indicate if they will not be returning to Washington. Click here to fill out a brief questionnaire if your family WON'T be returning.
At the end of this month we will begin creating class lists for the upcoming school year. Students already brought home a form for parents to provide input on classroom placement for the 2017-18 school year. If you have input to share, please have the form back to school by May 15th.
Creating class lists is a complex process involving a team approach: classroom teachers, specialists, school social workers, specials teachers, Principal and parent input forms contribute to the process. Please be aware that sometimes parents make specific requests that we are not able to honor. Trust that we have the best interest of all children in mind as we move into this process.
