Washington Elementary School
MEA WEEK 2021
Message from mrs. zeman
Washington Families and Friends,
It is hard to believe we are already upon MEA break! The year is off to an amazing start, and we are excited about all of the learning that is taking place at Washington. We are looking forward to conferences where we can connect with you on where your child is at in their learning. It's a great opportunity to reflect on the learning thus far, but also to look ahead and set goals for the next quarter. I am looking forward to seeing you all conference week!
Mrs. Zeman, Principal
