Good afternoon, Washington families,

This is principal Paul Travers with your weekly message.

 As a reminder, tomorrow, Monday, January 17^th is a Teacher Workday. There will be no school for students tomorrow. We will resume our regular schedule on Tuesday, January 28^th.

 On Wednesday, our 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th graders will be taking their reading NWEA assessment.

On Thursday, our 1^st and 2^nd graders will be taking their reading NWEA assessment.

On Friday, our 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th will be taking their math NWEA assessment and our Recess Champions will be headed to the Swarm Game.

 Mark your calendars for our 2^nd Quarter Awards Day on February 7^th and the Summer Camp Fair on February 8^th.

 Your Health and Wellness tip for this week is: Establishing consistent bedtimes and wake-up times, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and minimizing screen time before bed can significantly improve sleep quality for both children and parents, promoting better overall health and well-being.

 At Washington we Honor Community, Show Excellence, Think Critically, and Thrive Through Movement.
