Eagle News - Dec 8, 2025
Winter break will soon be upon us. Please remember that the will be no school from Dec. 22nd, 2025, to Jan 6th, 2025. Our first day back is Jan. 7th 2025
On behalf of all the Washington Elementary staff, I would like to wish you our best holiday wishes. Please stay safe. May the warmth and cheer of the season be with you and your loved ones.
Our winter singalong is Friday 12/19 at 1pm in the gym. This Sing along is our annual assembly to celebrate the season as a whole school. Parents are welcome to attend, provided that there is space in the gym. Note that the focus of the singalong is students, so if we run out of room we will make sure we prioritize having enough space for students to sit and sing together. Parents, if you choose to visit, we can't promise that you'll get a chair, but we CAN promise that if you're there you'll get to see Frosty, Rudolph, and a couple of other familiar characters! Parents, also please remember that, just as you do every time you visit school, for safety reasons you'll need to sign in at the office first.
Remember being a kid and not wanting to go to school? Whether because a throat is sore or feelings are hurt, when kids regularly miss school, we should all take note: Here’s why: Besides signaling that there’s an issue, those absences – whether excused or not – add up. Students can fall behind -- quickly. If something is keeping a child you know from getting to school, there’s help. Speak with your child’s school, or visit every-day-matters.org.
Woodburn School District is committed to preparing every learner with academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school. Oregon’s statewide assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are fully aligned to Oregon’s State Standards and provide students in grades 3-8 and 11, along with their families, one measure of academic achievement and growth. Assessment results identify your child’s strengths and areas for improvement in English Language Arts and Math. Each subject will be broken into categories and will show how well your child performed in each area. The assessments measure student learning on a scale that allows for comparisons across time.
While no single assessment can give a complete picture of your child’s progress, having your child take the statewide assessments provides educators and administrators with one source of information about what educational approaches are working and where additional resources may be needed. The data from state assessments helps inform district systems, supports and professional development for educators. Your child’s participation is important to ensure our schools receive the targeted resources they need to help all students succeed. Your child’s school will share your child’s scores with you at the end of the current school year or the beginning of the next to help support your child’s success as they move from grade to grade.
