Washington School News!
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held this Wednesday, October 24th from 4:00-8:00 PM and Thursday, October 25th from 8:00AM-8:00PM. Confirmation of conference date/time was sent home with your child last week. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
Although children are welcome to attend if you have no other coverage for their care, please keep in mind that conferences are very short and there is much to cover. Therefore, we prefer to have conferences be an adult-only event, if possible.
If you are interested in helping provide food items for staff during conferences, there is a sign up link below. We appreciate any donations as the staff put in long hours during conferences and having a nice meal available to them is a great bonus!
Please plan on visiting our Book Fair during Conferences! This will be held in the Washington library! Please review more information below.
Remember, there is NO SCHOOL on Thursday or Friday for all Early Childhood and 4K students due to conferences.
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you!
Ms. Stacie Brethouwer
Principal
