We are Looking Forward to a Gold Medal Year!
Volunteers Needed for Picture Day
Toys & Playground Reminders
The only toys from home that are allowed are balls for recess IF the ball is labeled with the student name AND the ball is transported to and from school in a bag. Please discuss this rule with your child, It is for his/her safety so that the ball does not roll into the street. If you do not believe your child can handle this responsibility, please do not send balls to school. We do have a variety of outdoor toys, including balls, that may be checked out by students during recess.
If you pick your child up after school, please wait until the flow zone gate closes (approximately 3:45pm) before playing on the Washington playground. Children playing on the equipment attracts other students to play, and then the flow zone is slowed down due to our supervisors having to find children on the playground. Your help with this is appreciated.
Hey, Washington Dads - Join WatchDOGS (Dads of Great Students)!
WatchDOGS do not have to commit to an ongoing schedule; they can volunteer as little as one half-day a school year. WatchDOGS help out with whole class activities and also one-to-one or small group reading and math practice. Students also love playing with WatchDOGS during recess!
Please come on out September 20th and see how you can become involved! It's fun!
A Note from the Nurse
If a Kindergartner has the required vision exam on file, they will not be screened. Hearing screening will be done for K, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. If your child is not scheduled to be screened, and you suspect a problem with your child's vision or hearing, please email the nurse, Jody.Gosain@cusd200.org or call 630-682-2222 to have your child added to the screening.
