Message from Principal Stenlund
Dear Washington Community,
Welcome back to school! I hope you and your family is safe and healthy during these very challenging times. As you well know we are continuing with Distance Learning for the foreseeable future. Our hope and desires are to be able to bring back students to school in person. We have some music materials to pass out to families as well as the second math workbook. We will be distributing these items Tuesday, January 12th and Wednesday, January 13th from 4:30-6:30pm in the South parking lot by the gym. Please follow this schedule by student last name:
A-C from 4:30-5:00
D-H from 5:00-5:30
I-O from 5:30-6:00
P-Z from 6:00-6:30
There will be no need to exit your car, as you drive up we will ask for your last name and we will bring the materials to you. If you choose to walk, we will have a designated area for you to wait until we retrieve your child’s materials.
Thank you in advance for coming to collect these important educational items. We are here to support you, please reach out with questions.
Sincerely,
Mr. Stenlund
Principal, Washington Elementary

SCHOOL MESSENGER
At the start of each school year, information from student registration forms is input into the student information database.
SchoolMessenger, the system the district uses to send out phone notification to parents, receives updated information from this database once each day.
It is very important that parents keep their contact information current.
Be sure to let your school office know if you have a new address, email or phone number.
The parent or guardian marked as the primary contact in the student information system will receive automated communication.
Messages will also be sent to the student’s home phone number contained in the database, if different from the primary contact phone number.
Oregon Health Plan Free For Youth
Through the Oregon Health Plan, youth 19 years of age and younger have access to free health coverage, regardless of immigration status if they meet the income requirements.
More information, including income requirements and how to apply for coverage, is available online.
