MESSAGE FROM MRS. ZEMAN
Hello Washington Families,
As we wrap up the first semester, we are excited about the growth we are seeing with our students! We just finished our winter reading and math assessments, and there is a lot to celebrate. The STEM night with the Works museum was incredibly fun! Thank you to all of you who came and explored with us.
As a school, we continue to work on following our We Are Washington expectations. We would love for you to partner with us by asking your student:
*How do you follow We Are Washington in your classroom?
*How do you follow We Are Washington on the playground?
*What does it look like to have positive interactions with other students?
Thank you for your ongoing partnership! We look forward to seeing you at conferences!
Mrs. Zeman
