Message from our Principal
Dear Bulldog Families,
Thank You for a Wonderful Fall Fest! 🎃. A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Fall Fest, sponsored by the Washington-Caldwell PTO! It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying the festivities, showing off some amazing costumes, and participating in the creative games designed and organized by our middle school students. Events like Fall Fest bring our school community together and create lasting memories for our students and families.
A special thank you to our incredible PTO, middle school students, and dedicated staff for their time and creativity in making this event such a success. We appreciate everyone who helped make Fall Fest a fun and memorable evening for our Bulldog community!
Our Washington-Caldwell Bulldogs will take on Brighton in the first round of the girls' basketball playoffs on Monday, November 2, at 4:30 PM at Brighton School. Paris will play North Cape at 5:30 PM. The winners will advance to the championship game on Wednesday, November 4, at 4:30 PM, also at Brighton School. Admission for Monday's games are $2 for adults and $1 for children ages 5 and older. Players and coaches are free. Wednesday's championship game is FREE for everyone!

From the Health Room
Please remember if your child has a fever 100.4 or higher, vomiting, or diarrhea, they need to be free of these things for at least 24 hours before returning to school. This is to help prevent further sicknesses and keep the infection rates down. Healthy students and happy learning is our goal!
If you have any questions or concerns about these protocols you can reach out to our District Nurse, Rachel Pankonin.
