Washington School News!
Thank you for an incredibly smooth first week of school! I so appreciate everyone reading over the arrival and dismissal procedures and assisting us with maintaining such a safe environment both inside and outside our school!
Please remember that if your child is absent from school, you need to call or email the office. Please do not contact your child's teacher with this information. Once you call or email the office, we will pass along that information to the teacher. You can call (920) 751-6990 and press 0 to get to Ms. Calkins. If you need to leave a message, please leave your child's name, date of the absence, reason for the absence, and any other important information that we would need to know about the absence. You can also send an email to washingtonoffice@neenah.k12.wi.us with the same information.
Although enrollment in Early Childhood and 4K is not mandatory, we do keep track of absences and tardies and will contact you if there are concerns with either. Please assist us with starting your child's school career off in a positive manner as good attendance is the foundation!
Have a wonderful week!
Thanks!
Ms. Stacie Brethouwer
Principal
