Sept Update – Patriot Day!
Washington Elementary Families —
We've had an amazing start to our school year. I've really enjoyed getting to know and work with your children. Thank you for your patience as we have worked to get the new school year started. We are getting into a good groove, hopefully each of you are finding that the routine of school is getting easier and easier for you at home as well!
This next week we have an exciting event at our school. On Sept 11 each year we have a Patriot Day Assembly to start our school day. The assembly takes place on the front lawn of the school near the entrance and flag pole. We'd love to invite and honor any Hero's related to our students to participate with us in the passing of the flag. Any active duty military, military veterans, current or retired police, fire or EMS personnel would all be considered Hero's for our assembly. If your student has a relative that can participate with us, please let us know by completing the following survey: Patriot Day Hero Survey
One other celebration for our first month of school is our average daily attendance! Our daily attendance for the month of August was 94.4%, which shows that we are off to a great start this school year! We’ve set the same goal of 93% daily attendance for the year and we are currently NAILING IT! Your child’s teacher is striving to both build a positive relationship with your child and provide meaningful learning opportunities every day. We are also tracking our attendance as a school and plan to recognize and celebrate excellent attendance throughout the year. We understand that there will be times when your child misses school due to illness or other legitimate reasons. We appreciate when parents contact the school to excuse their child’s absences. Communication between home and school is essential to student success.
We will continue to post updates of our attendance goal on our school marquee, social media, and our school website. If you’d like to monitor our weekly attendance, it will be tracked on a Google Doc on the front page of our school website in the attendance section. Here’s the link to that doc: WES Average Daily Attendance
Thanks again for your support of all things Washington! It's a great place to be!
