Washington Wildcat Chat

Please be reminded that Washington staff support supervision of students beginning at 8:35 at arrival and until 3:50 at dismissal. Please do not drop students off before this time and encourage them to leave the premises after school lets out. Also, please remind students that they MUST remain on the property once they are dropped off in the morning. We have received recent reports of students leaving the school grounds to go to Centennial before school. This poses a huge safety concern and is not permitted. Thank you for your support in helping to ensure the safety of our students.

We are looking for any interested D64 families who want to represent their school in the Park Ridge Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 27th. Please fill out this form if you plan on attending and marching in the district parade spot.
