Kindergarten Pre-Assessment
Future Washington Elementary Kindergarten Students (and Parents),
I’m so excited to welcome you to attend Washington Elementary. I hope you will love attending our school and participating in all we have to offer.
The first day of school will be August 11 with school starting at 9am (8:55am warning bell). The first week of school our new kindergarten students will only attend a half-day from 9am to 12pm. Beginning the week of August 18 the Kindergarten students will attend for the full day from 9am to 3:30pm. Every Friday is an early out day and school is in session from 9am to 12pm. Our bell schedule, lunch times, calendar, and all sorts of additional information related to attending school at Washington elementary can be found on our website: https://wes.washk12.org
SCHEDULE NOW: Before beginning school this fall we need every new incoming Kindergarten student to participate in a pre-assessment. The pre-assessment is an opportunity for our Kindergarten teachers to briefly meet with each incoming kindergarten student. The assessment dates are Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 1. We have created a SignUp Genius to help with scheduling, please visit the link below and schedule your appointment right now:

As a school staff we look forward to having your child join us this fall. Starting school is an exciting time and we are so happy to be a part of it. We love working with young children and watching them grow and thrive!
Thanks for sharing your child with us!
