Washington Elementary
March 2026
March is always an exciting and busy month at school! 🎉
As we head into spring, our students continue to work hard, grow academically, and demonstrate positive behavior throughout the building. We are so proud of the progress they are making and appreciate your continued partnership in supporting their learning at home.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up on March 12–13. There will be no school for students on these days to allow time for conferences. Scheduled conference times will be coming home with your child next week, so please be on the lookout for that information. Conferences are an important opportunity to celebrate your child’s successes, review progress, and set goals for the remainder of the school year. We strongly encourage all families to attend.
Our PTO will be hosting a Book Fair in the library during conference times. This is a wonderful opportunity to support both your child’s love of reading and our school community. We are so thankful for our PTO and their continued dedication to providing enriching experiences for our students.
Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement. We look forward to seeing you at conferences!
Spring is in the Air!
Dear Wildcat Students and Families,
I just love spring! It reminds me that after a long winter, fresh starts are possible. For fun, I'd like to extend a Wildcat Spring Challenge! Encourage your child to think about what they’d like to “grow” this season. Maybe it’s trying a new hobby, making a new friend, or improving a skill like sharing or listening. If you're EXTRA creative and have the time, create a “Growth Garden” where you plant seeds in cups with your goals written on outsides of the cups. Or if you're more of a visual family, you could create a family vision board with pictures of the new goals you’re excited to develop. What a fun way to visualize positive changes!
For the families with crazy busy schedules, consider a less time-consuming challenge. Just as flowers need water and sun to bloom, our hearts need kindness to flourish. This month, promote “Random Acts of Kindness” in the your home and beyond. Simple ideas include:
• Complimenting a classmate on their outfit.
• Helping pick up toys or books at home without being asked.
• Drawing a thank-you note for a teacher or family member.
Research shows that acts of kindness boost happiness and reduce stress. This is perfect for little ones navigating friendships and emotions.
Enjoy this beautiful weather!
