MPAC meetings provide an opportunity for parents and guardians to learn more about our schools, share their perspectives, celebrate our diverse cultures, and help shape programs and experiences for our students. All families are welcome, and we encourage you to join us! Families are welcome to attend in person or virtually. Virtual meeting links will be shared prior to each meeting.

Washington Borough School District will be closed on Monday, October 12th for a scheduled Teacher In Service Day. This day provides our teachers and staff with valuable time for professional learning and planning.

School will resume on Tuesday, October 13th. We hope our students and families enjoy the long weekend!

This approach provides families with a clearer picture of what students know and are able to do by focusing on specific learning standards and skills, rather than simply reporting an overall subject grade.

Standards-based reporting helps us better communicate student strengths, areas for growth, and progress toward grade-level expectations, giving families a more detailed understanding of their child’s learning journey. We look forward to partnering with families as we make this important transition.

We’re excited to introduce a three-trimester academic year for students this year. Report cards for students in grades K-6 will be released on the following dates:

Our facilities teams were hard at work preparing our schools for the new year! We’re excited to share that several facility upgrades and improvements were completed throughout the summer, helping to enhance our buildings and create welcoming, functional spaces for our students and staff.
