Hello Bulldog families,

We are pleased to share that our Spring FastBridge testing has been completed for all students. This assessment provides valuable data on each child's academic growth and helps us better understand their progress throughout the school year. We use the results to guide our instruction, support student learning, and make informed decisions as we plan for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s education!

On Wednesday, May 21 at 9:30 a.m., we will be conducting our final ALICE drill of the school year. This will be a lockdown/evacuation drill designed to help ensure our students and staff are prepared in the event of an emergency. In preparation, teachers have been reviewing safety procedures and practicing with students in age-appropriate ways to help them feel informed and confident. Our goal is to ensure the drill runs smoothly and supports a safe and secure school environment for everyone.

Thank you for understanding the need to cancel the Spring concert last night. We wanted to make sure everyone was safe. We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, May 22 at 6pm next for the rescheduled concert!

Sincerely,

Kevin

Printer Ink Recycled at Washington-Caldwell

The students of the Washington-Caldwell chapter of the National Junior Honor Society recycle used printer cartridges. All you have to do is send printer cartridges to school, and the students take care of the rest. Help keep these items out of landfills.

Children's books contain 50% more words that they are unlikely to encounter through conversation, TV and radio.
