SWIRL- A School Goal
SWIRL is The Washington Middle School Goal this year. We wanted you all to know what we are focusing on this year and what you can expect to hear from your learners.
One of our strengths at Washington is our teams. Every teacher has a team, every team has a time and every time has a purpose. The purpose this year is to design learning for our school goal:
Every student, every day in every class will have opportunities to demonstrate their learning in the language skills of SWIRL (Speaking, Writing, Interacting, Reading and Listening). Every staff member is committed to this goal for our students.
Together, we have taken many steps in that direction this year. In thinking about the goal for the course of the whole year, we have developed a Washington Staff Learning Plan that outlines the support structures in place to help us move toward our goal. Teachers, other staff and students have the support of teamwork as we work together toward this goal.
ATTENDANCE REMINDER
In the full distance learning model, teachers will take all attendance . We are asking families to please still call the main office at 920.663.9570 to report the absence. This means if your student is not able to attend their Google Meets for any reason. Thank you for your support and help.

If you have questions about your learner's IPC or you would like to schedule one, please reach out to our Counseling Department.
Thank you and stay safe all :)
