Staffing Update
Washington families,
I want to share that the Integration Support Teacher Role that Beth Kimmel has served in over the past two years will be expanded into an elementary district level position. Her current position, which served to grow areas of innovation, design thinking and technology across Washington, will transition to increase similar opportunities across the district.
We are certainly proud of the work we've been able to accomplish with this position and are honored that our work here has been recognized by the district as a worthwhile endeavor to share across all schools. While the role of Integration Support Teacher will no longer be at Washington, we are eager to build on the work we started. I am proud of our teachers and staff for what we have accomplished. Appreciation and credit goes to them and their high level of collaboration and willingness to try new approaches to teaching and engaging students.
Thanks

- Thank you ahead of time for being considerate to our neighbors on 67th and all around our building by NOT blocking driveways nor turning around in driveways. 67th street is extremely busy in the morning and at dismissal so your continued efforts at being patient and follow the posted rules help keep everyone safe.
- There is a handicap parking sign posted on the north end of the cutout on 67th Street. Cars, buses and daycare vans should avoid this area at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please review the link, Safe Routes to School: School Map, for some important reminders to help improve the safety of students and others around Washington School.
