Your Weekly Health and Wellness Tip for this week is:

Before summer fully kicks in, sit down as a family to create a media plan. This plan should outline daily screen time limits and designate screen-free zones, such as during meals or in bedrooms. Consistency is key, so make sure everyone understands and adheres to these agreed-upon rules.

Last Fun Friday of the Year!

This Friday, June 6, will be our last Fun Friday! Students who earned enough points throughout the week by having a positive attitude, giving their best effort, and completing assignments will be rewarded with the opportunity to attend. We'll have inflatables with a waterslide and a foam obstacle course. Please have your child bring an extra pair of clothes as they will likely get wet!

Looking Ahead

Next week, we will readminister EOGs to eligible students. The last day of school will be June 11th. Report cards will also be sent home on June 11.

At Washington, we honor our community, show excellence, think critically, and thrive through movement.
