 READ April's Newsletter

The district observes a one-hour delay on the first Wednesday of every month, unless otherwise notified in our monthly newsletter or a note sent home by the teacher.

When we have a one-hour delay, the bus will arrive to pick up your child one-hour later than on a normal day with no delay.

Parking Problems and Bus Lanes

There have been some problems this year with cars and trucks parked in the bus lanes. Between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 3:35 p.m. please refrain from parking in the bus slots labeled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Also there is to be no parking on the  side of the barn that faces the school. Vehicles parked there hinder parent pick-up and parent drop-off of their children. It is also dangerous for the children to cross the roadway to come to the parked vehicles. Please keep the children safe by parking in the designated areas behind the barn and coming in to sign out your children and walk them to your vehicle safely.

Library News

Mrs. Merrill, Librarian, and the students have participated recently in the Fire Safety and National School Luncheon Programs.   Last week she read from two books, “The Three Horrid Little Pigs” and “Granny’s Dragon” .  She did not let the students see the illustrations and she asked them to make their own. She reported there were numerous “interpretations” and that it was a fun activity.   Next week the kindergarten students will begin working on an animal alphabet book.   Thanks to our Washington Elementary PTO, Mrs. Merrill is using the Smart Board to teach the students how to search for books.  

Washington's School Day

Our school day for the students starts at 8:40 AM and finishes at 3:15 PM.  We do not have anyone available to supervise the students before or after these times.  Please do not “drop” them off before 8:35 to 8:40 AM or leave them after 3:15 PM.  Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
