Principal Message
I hope to see everyone at tonight's picnic--5:30-7:00. A few items to note for the week:
~ Morning Arrival Time: We have students who are showing up earlier and earlier in the morning. While it's great that we have students who enjoy coming to school, we do not have any supervision before 7:35am, and teachers are busy preparing for the day. Please remember that students should not be dropped off or arriving to school before 7:35am. Your help with this is greatly appreciated!
~ Construction Update: You are aware that we will be doing a remodeling project this summer to create a safe and secure office entrance. The plan was to begin construction on Monday, June 10. There is a high likelihood that this project may now begin on Monday, June 3, which will mean that we will have to reroute folks to a door other than door #1. Stay tuned for updates about this as this gets finalized, AND as we make decisions about how to accommodate for this! Your flexibility is needed and appreciated, so thank you!
~ Medications: Should your child have medications in the health office, please make a plan to pick these up by the end of the day on Thursday, June 6. Any medications not picked up by the end of the day on June 6th will be discarded.
As always, thank you for your support--it matters!

Family Survey
Dear Families,
Our district values your feedback! To ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and increase student readiness for life options after graduation, we need to hear from you. We are surveying Mankato Area Public Schools students, families, and staff to gain insight into their satisfaction with their school experience. We want to know what you think.
We safeguard your privacy by keeping your responses anonymous. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district a great place for our students, families, and staff. Participation of students, families, and staff is optional.
The family online survey will close on May 24th using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the website https://surveys.panoramaed.com/mankato/family24/surveys and choosing your school location.
We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact me at Washington Elementary.
Thank you,
Ann Haggerty
