Dear Washington Families,

It is hard to believe we are entering the final full week of April, with May just around the corner. The last couple months of school are always packed full of activities, so please be sure to read on to keep up to date on all the activities coming before the end of the school year. 

Additional News and Notes:

All families will go home with a game and a bag of books. This is an RSVP event so we can plan for numbers. Registration forms were sent home. Additional copies can be found here.

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10: Our Washington PTO has been planning to make this a great week for our staff and are asking for your help.  Click here for a suggested list of how families can participate. Our Washington PTO has compiled a list of Staff Favorites to help with your planning.

Wednesday, May 8: Mark your calendars for the Student Art Showcase from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. This open house style event will display works of art from all of our students.

April is Autism Acceptance Month: Student Council will be running the school store to sell Croc charms and bracelets to raise funds for Autism Acceptance Month for one more week.

Kindergarten & Young Fives: IT’S TIME TO ENROLL your Young Five student or Kindergarten student for next school year. To start the enrollment process, please go online now to pre-register your student.  

Lunch Parents Needed: We have a very dedicated crew of lunch volunteers and I am not sure how we would make it through lunch without them! If you are able to help, we are always in need of additional hands. Please contact the school office at Rachel.Tippett@romeok12.org  for information about volunteer or paid lunch supervisor positions.
