Are you needing to call out your student due to illness, going out of town, a funeral, appointment? Please call 920-663-9570 and select the attendance office to leave a message on the line. We will adjust Infinite Campus with that information. Students who are not called in will be marked as unexcused absent. Also, if your student goes to any appointments, please have a doctor note come to school so that the appointment is not counted towards your 10 annual absences.

We are doing some work at the district level that aligns with the work we are doing as a school. Namely, our Code of Conduct. I am pleased to announce that we have revised this document to be more user friendly, concise, and equitable. Please take a moment to review it.

Current 6th and 7th Grade students will be picking their course registrations during the week of February 17th to 20th. Copies of your student's course selection worksheet and booklet will be sent home with your student on Friday, February 21st. The course selection sheet does not need to be returned unless changes are made. If there are any questions, please contact Ms. O'Connor or Mr. Thao.

The Help for the Homeless Drive has started! Did you know? Washington Middle School is looking to be the school across the district with the most hygiene items to be collected? All items collected for this cause stays locally and goes back into our community to support our students' growth and learning. If you wish to support the cause, hygiene items may be dropped off in the Washington Middle School Main Office during regular school day hours and at Conferences on March 6th from 1-7pm.

Students who need help with any kind of homework are invited to join the Homework Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school in room 223 (Ms. Love) from 3-4 pm. We have 3 high school students who are former students of Washington who need tutoring hours for National Honor Society. Bring any work with you and there are people there to help!

If any 7th grade families were unable to attend the information meeting regarding the Washington DC trip for next summer, please check out this flyer for more details.
