Washington Elementary News


June 7. 2024

Dear Washington Families, 

Well, that’s a wrap on the 2023-2024 school year! We thank all our students and families for another great year at Washington, and for all your support and hard work this year. We will miss our Washington family over the summer and look forward to seeing everyone when we return in the Fall! Have a safe, relaxing and fun summer!

In the next week, we will send a mailing to all our families, which will include: report cards, NWEA Family Reports, the 2024-25 school year suggested supply list, and a resource list with summer learning opportunities. 

Our Washington school office closes on June 18th and reopens mid-August. Class placement information will be sent in late August, along with additional back to school information. We spend a great deal of time on class placement, taking into account academic and social needs. For this reason, we are unable to make changes to class placements or honor requests for teachers or placement with friends. 

Please 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.

Additional News and Notes:

Moving Over the Summer? Please be sure to notify our office at 586-781-5563 and return all devices, along with the chargers that were provided from the district. 

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.

Have a wonderful summer! With Washington Bulldog Pride,

Dana Hepner, Principal
