Hello Bulldog Families,
The start of the school year has been very successful. Students have been learning their classroom routines and have reconnected with our teachers in a positive way.
Transportation has been smooth as we have started the new school year, too. If you had the opportunity to attend Meet and Greet you were able to experience the updated facility and “feel” the changes in the building. These changes help to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment. We are so grateful for the positive support you provide to our students, staff and school community. Thank you!
Washington-Caldwell athletics are already starting for the 2024-25 school year. First up is girls basketball. Coach Dena McCormick will be hosting an Open Gym on Tuesday, September 10, Wednesday, September 11 and Thursday, September 12 from 3:40 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in our gym. This is open to all girls in grades 5-8 who are interested in playing basketball for Washington-Caldwell. More information about practices and the season will be provided by Coach McCormick during the Open Gym. You may contact the coach via email at dmccormick@washcald.com.
I am looking forward to a school year filled with new opportunities for student learning and increased engagement with our parents and community. As always, you may reach me via email at kmccormick@washcald.com or by phone at 262-662-3466, ext. 166.
Sincerely,
Kevin, Superintendent/Principal

Also remember that someone must be home to meet the early elementary students at their drop-off locations. The bus drivers will not allow students off the bus without seeing someone.
