What an AWESOME first day of school! Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make it one of the best first days ever!

A few important items to note:

~ The First PTO Meeting of the Year is next Monday, September 9 at 6:00pm in the Media Center. Please enter through door #1; you can park in the parking lot or on the street. We do provide child care, courtesy of National Honor Society students from East High School. We try really hard to keep our meetings to an hour, in hopes that this will encourage more participation. You can attend virtually, too, by using this link.

~ School Pictures: No decisions have been made about school pictures. Stay tuned for more information soon!

~ Early Release: The first scheduled Early Release of the year will be Wednesday, September 18. School will dismiss at 12:30. More info, including the sign up for after school care, will be coming soon.

The purpose of Title I, Part A under the Federal ESEA Act is to supplement services to students to help them learn what they need to know to be successful on high academic standards. Washington Elementary is a Title I school, meaning we receive additional funding to provide supplemental interventions or services to students.

Mankato Area Public Schools uses a variety of digital tools to support student learning. Technology vendors and software is utilized to support work as we help all students develop the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world.

We have an inventory of our curriculum, testing, and assessment tools posted on our district website at bit.ly/4835DET (or directly to our Learn Platform page bit.ly/3R9xvRB). This list is maintained and communicated annually to all families at the start of the school year.

Please reach out to your building principal for additional questions regarding the use of the specific digital tools in classrooms. Please reach out to MAPS technology department regarding data, privacy, and vendor inquiries of the specific digital tools.

Sincerely,

Ann Haggerty, Principal

Angie Potts, Director of Educational Technology
