Now that our parking lot is nearing completion, Washington School has reverted back to normal arrival and dismissal procedures. Families will drop off and pick up students at your teachers selected entrance to the building. For safety and security of our students and staff, all visitors will need to access the office on the west side of the building to enter Washington School. If you are utilizing the parking lot, facing the building the right driveway is for cars entering the lot and the left driveway is for cars exiting the lot. We are working to get arrows painted to help identify the entrance and exit. Thank you for adhering to the parking lot designations. Our main objective is to keep students safe during arrival and dismissal. We appreciate your patience.

Great news Washington Families! Today will be the last day our parking lot will be closed off for families. On Monday, you will be able to access most of the parking lot for your convenience (except the southwest corner). We still need to install the fence for safety concerns. On Monday, we will revert back to normal arrival and dismissal procedures. Families will drop off students at your teachers selected entrance to the building. For safety and security of our students and staff, all visitors will need to access the office on the west side of the building to enter Washington School. If you need to know your teachers selected entrance point, please reach out to them today. Have a great weekend!

Families will continue to utilize parking on the streets adjacent to Washington School until further notice. Please be mindful and not park in our neighbors' driveways. Again, our main objective is to keep you informed and everyone safe during arrival and dismissal. We appreciate your patience.

I'd like to thank our Washington families and staff for a wonderful first morning. We very much appreciate your understanding and cooperation during our construction. Upon dismissal, families will again enter the building and meet your student in the classroom. Our doors will open at 10:55 this morning. The afternoon classes will use the same schedule later today. Doors will open at 12:00 for student arrival and 2:25 for dismissal. Most families accessed our playground before student arrival and it worked well. I would anticipate this schedule for the week ahead. I will keep you posted as we proceed through the construction of the parking lot. Thanks again for your patience.
