Washington School News!
It will be a busy week! Please see the dress-up days below in celebration of Homecoming week! Picture RE-TAKE and MAKE-UP day will be held on Thursday, October 4th. (Sorry about the planning on that during Homecoming week, it was an oversight!). Also, we hope 4K students and families will be joining us for the Homecoming parade on Friday!
RE-TAKE: If you want your child to re-take pictures from the original Open House picture day, please return the entire picture package (if you purchased one) and inform your child's teacher (by Wednesday) that you would like to have your child re-take pictures.
MAKE-UP: If your child did not get school pictures taken during Open House in August, he/she will have his/her picture taken on Thursday regardless if you purchase a picture package or not.
Order forms from Network can be found on the Washington School webpage or you can contact school to have an order form sent home with your child. Please email: washingtonoffice@neenah.k12.wi.us with any questions about picture day.
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you!
Ms. Stacie Brethouwer
Principal

WHERE: (Meeting/Starting Point):
600 South Park Avenue
Neenah, WI
MORE INFORMATION:
We will be, for the 3rd year, participating in the Homecoming Parade as a 4K Program.
A letter will be sent home with your 4K student later this week along with two signs. You are encouraged to decorate a wagon with any "rocket" or "red & white" items. You can use the signs to decorate the sides of your wagon. Adults will need to walk the parade path with the 4K student as staff will be present, but not responsible for any students.
More information will come out next week about our meeting place. We will probably begin gathering around 4:30pm for the 5:00pm parade and our meeting place will be somewhere around the city pool. The parade ends at Church Street and the parade route is approximately 1.2 miles, so please plan accordingly.
We look forward to as many 4K students and families to join us as possible!
