Principal’s Message

 

Greetings Washington Families,

 

It’s our last full week of the 2022 school year! Holiday Magic donations are due today to the main office. Thank you to those of you who donated to help Washington families this holiday season.

 

As a reminder, we will have an Early Release Day on Wednesday, December 21 and students will dismiss starting at 1:50pm. Winter Break begins on Thursday, December 22. Please be sure to communicate with your child’s teacher about any special classroom learning experiences prior to break!

 

Let’s make it a great week at 1000 Fayetteville Street! 

 

Magically,


Catie Burnette

School Updates

 

Morning Carpool Reminders

  • Please make sure your child is ready and all belongings are accessible when your vehicle is stopped.

  • The safest way for your child to exit the vehicle is on the passenger side. If you need assistance on the driver side, please wave down an adult to assist.

  • Your child is considered tardy and will have to be signed in upon arrival at the main office if you arrive after 9:20am. 

 

Headphones for your Wiz Kid

If your child uses their Chromebook on a daily basis, consider sending them to school with headphones! This helps students fully engage in online learning programs in the classroom.

A special thank you to our Wizard PTA for planning our first Cultural Arts Performance of the year last Friday. Linda Gorham, a storyteller, performed her program “African American Heroes and Sheroes” for students in grades 3-5 and her program “African and African American Folktales” for students in grades K-2. We look forward to another performance from Black Box Dance Theatre in the Spring of 2023.
