Hatchet Happenings

There were multiple stations of fun activities for students to participate in, many revolving around the book, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett.

Congratulations to WJHS Students for this 9-week grading period, Susuenio, Adrian, Kyndal, and Addison!

Winners took home lots of books for their home library!

On March 28 - 30, 2024, twenty-three teams from across Indiana will come to Washington to compete in the FIRST Robotics Indiana Competition presented by Toyota.

Please come out and support both our Hatchet teams at the Hatchet House. Representing Washington will be our Hatchet Robotics team and Hatch Batch team.

This is an amazing opportunity for our community! Approximately 2,000 visitors could bring an anticipated economic boost of $400,000 as out-of-town visitors spend time at local businesses, hotels, and restaurants!

Families of incoming kindergarten students for the 2024-2025 school year are encouraged to learn more about Dual Language Immersion.

Dual Language Immersion education integrates oral and cognitive academic language development in both English and Spanish while mastering grade-level knowledge and skills in all elementary content areas. This integration between both languages fosters the essential building blocks for students to develop into bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural students.

The Dual Language Immersion class is voluntary. Families who are interested in participating will be asked to complete an application process to be accepted into the program.

To help us plan for the upcoming school year, Washington Community Schools wants to gather information from families interested in having their child attend Washington Primary's Pre-Kindergarten Program for the 2024-2025 school

Please complete the application no later than March 8, 2024.

There is a global need for microelectronics that are safe, reliable, and trustworthy. However, the design and manufacturing of these microchips is challenged by a number of factors, including disruptions of the manufacturing chain as well as an urgent need for a rapid increase in the skilled microelectronics workforce.

Washington Community Schools has partnered with Scalable Asymmetric Lifecycle Engagement (SCALE) network addresses this need. SCALE is the preeminent U.S. program for semiconductor workforce development in the defense sector.

Led by Purdue University, funded by the Department of Defense and managed by NSWC Crane, SCALE facilitates a different approach to training highly-skilled U.S. microelectronics engineers, hardware designers, and manufacturing experts, ensuring U.S. leadership in this important area.

SCALE provides unique courses, mentoring, internship matching and targeted research projects for college students interested in five microelectronics specialty areas: radiation-hardening, heterogeneous integration/advanced packaging, system on a chip, embedded system security/trusted AI, and supply chain awareness.
