Winter Preparedness
Winter Clothing: Are you ready? Colder weather is here and children should be dressed appropriately for the winter months. This would include a heavier coat or jacket, hat, mittens, snow pants and boots. Please see that these items are marked with your child's name so in the event they are misplaced they can be returned to the owner. Be sure to check the lost and found if anything comes up missing!
Also if you do not have the financial resources to supply these clothing items for your children, please contact the office since we do have some resources available. Also, if you have winter wear that your children have outgrown and you would be willing to donate the items you can drop them off in the office
A Plan for No School, Late Start and Early Dismissals Due to Weather.
As weather conditions change, families need to make sure to make they have a plan in place for no school, late starts or early dismissals. If there is no school due to weather, stay tuned to local radio and television stations for updates. Additionally, you can contact the school district help and information line at 507-386-4777.
In the event of an early dismissal due to weather, Washington will dismiss at the time announced for elementary buildings. Please make sure you have an up-to-date early dismissal plan shared with your child's classroom teacher.
If our school district is scheduled for a late start due to weather, do not drop your child off at school. There won't be supervision available until 30 minutes before school starts.
