Washington Wildcat Chat

As the warm weather approaches nearer, we wanted to provide a reminder about arrival and dismissal procedures. Please remember that the Kiss and Go lane is not for parking. This lane is intended for movement to assist with the flow of traffic on Western. When people park and leave their car, others are unable to drop off their children safely. It poses a safety risk when parents double park and have their children pass between vehicles. If you need to park, we encourage you to arrive early and park in the neighborhood. Thank you for your support in ensuring that traffic flows smoothly and students are safe.

All students in grades 3-8 are invited to participate in District 64's School Level Spelling Bees! The Washington Spelling Bee will take place on Thursday, January 16th in the MPR. The top three spellers at Washington will go on to compete at the District level in February.

The D64 Spelling Bees will follow the Regional Scripps Spelling Bee format, including both Spelling & Vocabulary Rounds. See this link for more information and details on how to register.

The Washington Student Council is excited to begin our Wildcats Give Back Fall Food Drive this week and invite all students to participate in a Spirit Week to make participating in this great cause even more fun! Please see below for daily dress-up days and suggested corresponding donation items.

Classrooms will also participate in a friendly competition to donate the most items by the end of the week. One classroom per grade level will receive an extra recess as their prize.

We will also need empty boxes to collect donation items in classrooms. If you have any empty boxes you can send to school this week, it would greatly help the collection.

Thank you for your support in giving back!
