Message from our Principal
Hello Bulldog Families,
Over the past few months, there has been a great deal of collaboration between our families, staff, and school community working to highlight “Why I Love Washington-Caldwell. It's truly inspiring to witness the unwavering support and enthusiasm emanating from our dedicated school community. Together, we've crafted a compelling narrative that underscores the intrinsic value and profound significance of our district. Countless voices have come together to champion the exceptional quality of education, the nurturing environment, and the various opportunities our district provides. Our school community's resounding support serves as a testament to the enduring legacy and bright future of the Washington-Caldwell School District.
I also want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional commitment of the Strategic Planning Committee in spearheading our upcoming Operating Referendum. Your dedication to ensuring the success of this crucial initiative is truly commendable and deeply appreciated. It is through your collective passion and perseverance that we are able to move forward with optimism. Thank you for your invaluable contributions and unwavering support in making our school a beacon of excellence.
Lastly, as we enter Spring Break, I want to wish each of our families a safe and enjoyable break. If you are traveling during this time, I wish for safe travels for you. I look forward to seeing your children on April 2, when we return to school.
Sincerely,
Kevin
Superintendent/Principal
