A few reminders for the week:

~ Walk-A-Thon total: A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to our Washington Walk-A-Thon. While we didn't quite reach our goal, we did raise over $11,000! Those funds help the PTO support students, teachers, and classrooms in any number of ways, including the Washington t-shirts, field trips, classroom needs that go beyond instructional supplies, and conference meals for teachers to name just a few things! While I didn't get the sleep on the roof, I did read a good night story (virtually) to Washington students after the picnic. If you missed it, you can watch it here. I'm considering making this a more frequent thing---wouldn't that be kind of cool?

~ Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Thursday & Friday, October 16 & 17 due to the MEA break.

~ Artist in Residence in Music: Mr. Shevy and Mrs. Chambers are SO EXCITED to be able to host two amazing artists in residence at Washington on October 22nd. Originally from Guinea, West Africa, Fode Bangoura is internationally known as a djembe player. He will be joined by Whitney McCluskey, an expert in West African dance. Every student at Washington will get the chance to play the djembe and dance! It is going to be an INCREDIBLE experience!

Thanks for supporting our work! Go Wildcats!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your student’s assessment results have been updated in their Student Test Detail in Infinite Campus. New results for DIBELS (K-5), ACCESS, MCA Math, Reading and Science Assessment are available to you through the Parent Portal.

The results of the new Science Assessment reflect the first year of the new MCA-IV Science Test Administration, given in grades 5, 8, and high school when students complete life science instruction. The new science assessment reflects a significant change in the standards and shift in instructional practice.

As with any assessment, these results are only one piece of information about what your student learned last year. The science assessment that students took in the spring of 2025 was different than in the past, so comparing results for the previous assessment isn’t accurate as they are two different assessments.

To access your child's scores:
