Mrs. Williams' kindergarten class had a scavenger hunt for leaves, twigs, and pinecones. It was a great fall day for this activity outside!




Our lost & found at Washington Elementary is already starting to fill up. If any of these look familiar to you, please encourage your child to check the lost & found!


Attendance and literacy make a powerful team!
Students who show up regularly read more, understand more, and unlock more opportunities. Every day present is a day of stronger reading and a brighter future.
Every Day Counts!
