Dear Washington Families,

On behalf of the entire staff at Washington Elementary School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you are a returning family or new to our school, we are so glad you are here and part of our Washington community.

This year holds exciting opportunities for our students to grow both academically and personally. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to providing a high-quality education in a safe, caring, and supportive environment. We believe that every child can thrive when school and home work together, and we look forward to partnering with you to ensure your child reaches their fullest potential.

We encourage you to support your child’s learning by:
- Ensuring daily, on-time attendance
- Encouraging completion of classwork and homework
- Promoting a love for reading by reading together daily
- Staying involved by asking about their school day
- Communicating any academic or emotional needs
- Setting high expectations and celebrating their efforts

We also invite you to get involved! Whether through our PTA, Dad’s ALL IN, or school events, your engagement helps build a strong, connected school culture where students feel supported and empowered.

Your child’s teacher is eager to partner with you, and we are all excited for the meaningful learning and lasting memories this year will bring. The Washington staff is honored to serve such a wonderful community, and we thank you for your continued support.

Let’s make 2025–2026 a year to remember!
