Dear Families,

We are moving through the 4th quarter so quickly! Starting next week we will begin our State Testing and our Spring iReady. This is a way we review student learning. We encourage students to get good rest, eat good foods, and most of all DO THEIR BEST! Your students have worked so hard this year and learned many new skills. This is their chance to show off that learning. We are so proud of our Washington Panther Cubs!

When dropping off students please make sure your student is using the sidewalks, and one of our two crosswalks. We are seeing quite a few students being dropped off in the middle of the street and/or sent across the street instead of to a sidewalk and crosswalk.This can lead to close calls - and we have seen a few! Our number one goal is student safety.

School Hours

Breakfast for our students starts at 7:25 . Please have your student at school in their class by 7:55 am. Any student who arrives after 8:00 needs to check in the office for a tardy slip.

Spring weather is upon us now. Please send your student with a warm jacket or sweater to school.

Kids Home Sick

We love having your students here at school. However, we also want to ensure they are ready to learn. If your student is sick, please keep them home and notify the office at 541-842-3860

We follow the guidelines of Oregon Health Authority. Follow the link for more information on when to keep your student home and for how long: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:8b056c0d-b45d-3f01-90a1-fe7bc65f5d93

Volunteers/Visitors

All of our volunteers and visitors must check in using our scanning system in the office to ensure the safety of our students.

MESSAGES/EARLY PICK UPS

We know that plans change and students have different arrangements. If you need to get a message to your student, please provide the information before 2pm. It is very difficult to try to send out messages after 2pm due to end-of-class transitions.

Hello Washington Families,

Spring is here and May is coming up fast. Grades 3-5 will be taking the Oregon State Assessment beginning April 29th. All grades will test in Language Arts and Math. 5th grade will also be tested in Science. Please help your student by discussing the importance of doing their best. Also, make sure that they are getting plenty of rest so that they are alert for testing. Thank you for all of your support, everyone is working hard to make sure your students do well on their annual testing.
