Summer is an excellent time to recharge, explore the outdoors, play and connect with family and friends, and explore new interests through reading. Visit our Summer Learning website for ideas on how to keep learning alive this summer, including information about our district-wide Summer Book Swap, Math Bingo (for K-5), and instructions for accessing district learning apps on a home device throughout June and July.

PTO

As we close out another incredible school year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing Washington Wildcat families. It is hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by!

The PTO accomplished so much this year, and none of it would have been possible without your support. Whether you volunteered at events, contributed to our Giving Campaign, attended meetings, donated items, or simply showed up to support our school community, every contribution made a difference. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you.

Thank you for a wonderful year filled with learning, growth, and community. We look forward to all the opportunities and adventures that the next school year will bring.
