News from the Nest

Welcome to the second edition of the Washington Irving School #4 newsletter! I hope everyone had a restful Holiday break. We are now in the stretch of year where our children are a little bit older, have fully settled into their classes, and are ready to really move forward in the curriculum.

We look forward to all of the wonderful things that will come in 2025!

Yours in education,

Jeff Wilson

At School #4, we always aim to have high attendance! After last year, it is very important that we improve upon student attendance, which includes being on time to school! Although the school year seems long, there is so much that we have to cover each year and in every grade. Missing just a little bit of time can have a large impact on our student's academic and social success

The district is requiring that all students be re-registered this year. REgistration is now open and must be completed by July 1st. Please see the link below to read a letter from our superintendent, Dr. Tomko.
