Washington Elementary School

We are so fortunate to have so many books that the children can choose from. One more way your PTO dues make learning a good fit.

Base ten blocks, geometric shapes, rulers, and imagination -- that's how you build interest and a mathematical foundation from the ground up.

Penny found her friend's sign. Can you? It's like he never left.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words : - )

Second graders were able to harvest some jewels from our garden. They could not only see the fruits of their labors and how various seeds had done their work, but they were also able to eat their successes. We are so lucky to have parents who make our garden a magical place.

First Grade Family Fun Night is the way to start your adventures at Washington School! Students, parents, and siblings became better acquainted through dancing, hula-hooping, playing, and snacking, all of which took place in our courtyard and playground.

What happens when you drop water on wax paper? What about aluminum foil? Paper towels? Hmmm, what do "absorbent" and "waterproof" mean? Third graders are figuring it out!

There is no way that first graders can enter a username, then a password, open a browser, and find the right keys on a Chromebook! Can they?

Our Book Fair was a great success! Each class had its turn to browse for books, and parents had their opportunity at Back to School Night. Thank you to our volunteers and to our shoppers!

Our PTO surprised every staff member with a handmade "Little Treat to Make the School Year Sweet". We love our PTO and our PTO loves us.

It is remarkable how many parents attend Back-to-School Night at Washington School. Some classes appear to be better behaved than others, though. I hope they were able to Save Fred!

Food Days are Back! Tomorrow, Monday, September 8, is the last chance to place your order for all of the days you would like your child to receive meals. The next opportunity to order will not be until New Year's Day.

The Washington Elementary School Book Fair will take place on Thursday, September 11th, in the Washington auditorium. The students will have a chance to shop with their class during the school day. The book fair will also be open in the evening during Back-to-School Night for parents to shop.

We love recess! Nothing is better than good weather on the first days of school.

What a Special Time! The first day of school is so exciting for everyone. We all wear our back-to-school outfits and are full of hope, dreams, and butterflies. Some kids laugh, and some cry. And after 74 days of no school, some parents weep with joy.

Meet and Greet gives everyone the chance to locate your classroom, meet your teacher, find your desk, and say "hello" to old friends, all on the day before school starts. It makes it so much easier the next day. This is something our teachers volunteer to do. They come in over the summer so their classrooms can be ready before the day before the first day of school!

We Love Our PTO! Just before Meet and Greet, we all need some energy. PTO to our rescue. What a great lunch we had. It gave us all a chance to catch up on our summers and some extra time to stay in the building and prepare our classrooms.

Chalk the Walk! We gave everyone a piece of chalk as they left Meet and Greet, and ended up with so many inspiring notes for this upcoming school year!

Don't miss Back to School Night, coming up this Thursday, September 11, 2025 (adults only, please). This is an in-person event, held in your child's classroom. You will have the opportunity to meet the teacher and learn about the curriculum, as well as other relevant information, to ensure a smooth year for everyone.
