Coming Soon! Washington’s Third Annual All-School Read
All Washington families and staff are invited to join together to read a special book at home during a three week period starting Monday, March 2nd and ending Friday, March 20th. The title of our All-School Read book will be unveiled at our kick-off assembly on Monday, March 2nd.
Students are encouraged to wear their pajamas to school!
Thanks to the generous donations from our school community during our annual Timberwolf Trot, the PTA was able to purchase every JK-5th grade family at Washington a copy of the selected book. Families will also receive an informational letter, trivia questions and pacing guide which lists each night’s reading. Plus, see guest readers each night on our All-School Read YouTube Channel! Students will have the chance to win fun prizes for turning in their trivia slips!
What will our title be? Find out March 2nd!
Monday is our final Pennies for Patients spirit and collection day!
Family Chat Session - Focus on Equity - TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH
Dear Families,
Over the last few years, the Wauwatosa School District has worked hard to develop, adopt, and implement a District Equity Plan. One of the main goals within this plan is to Strengthen Parent and Community Partnerships. Please mark your calendar as we are hosting another family chat session centered around equity and belonging on Tuesday, February 25th from 6:00-7:00pm.
The goals of the evening will be to share our definition of equity, provide a brief summary of listening session feedback from last school year, share district and school goals, and collaborate with families in attendance.
DAYCARE WILL BE AVAILABLE - PLEASE CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING JOINING US AND NEED DAYCARE SO WE CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
I hope to see you there!
