Dear Washington Families, This summer, all student learning devices will be replaced district-wide. This is the scheduled replacement of devices, which occurs every four years. All Chromebooks and iPads currently in use will be collected before the last day of school, Wednesday, June 11, 2025. Please prepare to return all district-provided equipment, including device, charger, cord, and protective case. Collection dates are as follows: Y5 - June 2nd, K - June 4, and grades 1-5 on June 5. Elementary students will receive their new devices during the first week of school. Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, Kindergarten and first grade students will receive Chromebooks as their personal learning device. Students who have not returned their Chromebook, charger and case WILL NOT receive a new device.

Come volunteer for some fun in the sun (fingers crossed). To volunteer we need to have your ichat (background check) on file. Since it's such a busy day we ask only volunteers that are working attend. Please no additional children that are not in classes due to all the activities going on as well. Link to the sign-up can be found here. Have an incoming kindergarten or young fives student? Great! We wanted to let you know that enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year is open. Don't wait for the summer crunch. Get your child(ren) enrolled now to avoid any delays in August. Please visit https://romeok12.org/enrollment/ to get the ball rolling by completing our pre registration form. Also, please feel free to share this information with families who have a four or five year old at home that will be joining the Bulldog family in the fall. Lunch Parents Needed: We have a very dedicated crew of lunch volunteers and I am not sure how we would make it through 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.
