Notes from the Nurse: Important Year-End Information
Does your child have medication(s) at school that needs to be picked up before the end of the school year?
This would include any routine prescription medicines (backup medications for missed medications at home or migraine or pain meds kept at school ) and Epi-pens. If so, please arrange to pick them up from the Health Office before the school year ends.
Lost & Found
Please encourage your child to look through the Lost and Found for any lost items. They will be on display in the hall outside the Library for parents/guardians to also look through.
All items left after Thursday May 23rd will be donated.
Is your student returning to Washington next year?
If you know that your family will be moving over the summer, and your child will not be attending Washington for the 2024-2025 school year, please contact Ms. Barrett in the front office and let us know. You can send her an email at kris.barrett@boiseschools.org or call at 208-854-6420.
If you moved out of the Washington attendance area and would like for your child to be considered for continuation at Washington, an Open Enrollment form needs to be completed. The form is on the District website. Kris Barrett can also assist with this process.

*Community Events*
Youth Suicide Prevention
The event is a free, 60-minute (post-session Q/A time for those able to remain) presentation on what parents and caretakers can do to help their youth and community. Additionally, with the end of the school year approaching, these also provide helpful information on how to aid youth during that transition time and loss of daily connection within the classrooms and hallways.
