Hello Bulldog families,

I am happy to share that we have had a great start to the implementation of the Parent Survey, which opened on Monday, January 6. As a reminder, we are asking all parents to complete and submit a survey for each child you have at Washington-Caldwell. The survey only takes a couple of minutes and provides an opportunity for you to share your perspective, as well as written feedback about our school and district. The Parent Survey was sent to your individual email address we have on record here at school. The closing date of the Parent Survey is Sunday, January 19, 2025 at 11:50 p.m. Thank you for sharing your voice!

We will be holding our second ALICE drill of the 2024-25 school year on Wednesday, January 15 at 9:15 a.m. This will be a lockdown/barricade drill for all classrooms. We plan to have a representative from the Waterford Police Department here as an observer. Our staff and students are aware of the drill, including lessons on safety and procedures. Please let me know if you have any questions about our safety practices.

Bulldog Basketball is officially here for our students in grades 2-5. We plan on beginning the season(practices) the week of January 27, 2025. The number of teams, practice and game schedules are dependent upon the number of students registering to participate. Our plan is to have co-ed teams consisting of students in grades 2 & 3 and teams of students in grades 4 & 5.

This is open to all area students, not just Washington-Caldwell students. Please share this with your friends and family that may be interested.

The cost for participation is $50 per child. This may be paid by check/cash or via E-funds. Checks may be made out to Washington-Caldwell. This will cover the cost of referees and awards at season’s end. I am sharing a link to a Jotform for registration. The registration deadline is Friday January 20, 2025.

If you have any issues registering via the link provided, please contact me directly at kmccormick@washcald.com.

Students in grades 4K-5th grade go outside for lunch recess when the 'feels like' temperature is above 10 degrees. Students need to come prepared with outdoor gear that include boots, snowpants, jackets, hats, and gloves every day.

Bring Home a Book: Tie reading into an outing. If you're going to a museum, bring home a book about a favorite exhibit, so children see reading as an experience.

NEW Items in the lost and found. Do they belong to your student?

Items for Paw Store Carts Needed:

The Paw Store Carts need more toys and trinkets, especially stuffed animals. Washington-Caldwell students will appreciate any gently used items your kids no longer use.

Printer Ink Recycled at Washington-Caldwell

The students of the Washington Caldwell chapter of the National Junior Honor Society recycle used printer cartridges. All you have to do is send printer cartridges to school, and the students take care of the rest. Help keep these items out of landfills.

Thank you to everyone who have been responding to low lunch balance emails by sending in funds right away. We appreciate you attending to this in a timely manner. Please feel free to email asking for current lunch balances if you are wondering at any time. One full week of lunch is $16.25. You may go online to deposit money at E-Funds or you can send cash or a check to school with your student.

The student cost for school lunch remains the same as last year.

Student lunch is $3.25 (this includes 1/2 pint of milk)
