Back-to-School Update – August 5, 2025
Dear Washington School Families
We hope your summer has been filled with joy and rest! As we gear up for the 2025–2026 school year, we’re excited to share important updates and upcoming events. Our building has been buzzing with activity, and we’re looking forward to welcoming all our students and families back soon.
🛠️ Building & Grounds Improvements
Our District facilities team has worked hard this summer to enhance our school environment:
-
✅ Carpet and asbestos removal in the hallways, staff lounge, teacher workroom, and sensory room—creating a safer and healthier space.
-
✅ Refreshed parking lot and playground areas—clean, updated, and ready for student use!
We’re proud of these improvements and can’t wait for everyone to see the results.
