Dear Washington Families, The 2024-25 school year has officially come to a close. Thank you for all your support throughout the year; we are fortunate to have such amazing families and students at Washington. We wish you all a safe, happy and healthy summer wherever your plans take you these next few months. Summer Bridge Books for grades 1, 3 and 5 did not arrive in time to send home with students; they arrived just after buses left. Our school office will be open through June 20th. The books will be in the lobby, and parents are welcome and encouraged to stop in and pick one up for their child. Mrs Matczak will be collecting completed books in the fall and giving students a special gift for their work at keeping their skills fresh over the summer. We are pleased to inform you that Washington Elementary School has earned the 2025 MI HEARTSafe School Award. Thank you to our district nurse, and team of staff, who dedicated their time to create a safe and prepared environment for students, staff, and visitors. Additional News and Notes: Wednesday, August 27th: Meet the Teacher Night at Washington Elementary from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Tuesday, September 2nd: First day of school for the 25-26 school year. Bus route information will be available on the transportation page of the www.Romeok12.org website a few days before school begins. Report cards, NWEA reports, suggested school supply lists, district calendars, and other information will be sent home next week via the mail. Watch for a mailing in July with information about how to update and verify your student's contact information online. You MUST login to verify your contact information prior to the first day of school. Class placement letters for the 2025-26 school year, along with back to school information, will be sent home to families in mid-late August. Class placement is an important process centered on decisions to best support the learning and growth of students. Our staff will work diligently to ensure your child is placed appropriately. As always, parents may NOT request changes to their students’ class assignments. Medical Need Planning for Fall: Families who have questions regarding planning for medical paperwork for next year can listen to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible or YouTube. District paperwork to bring to the doctor's office over the summer can be found at: https://romeok12.org/wellness/medical-information/ Bus App: Scan the QR code provided here (you will need to scroll down for the code), and download Edulog Parent Portal Lite, a new app that allows you to track your child's bus to and from school in real time.
