Dear Parent or Student,

Get your pictures in the yearbook! The Yearbook Staff invites students and parents to submit photos for the yearbook. If you've got great photos of school and community events or you and your friends just having fun, we'd like to see them. Our photographers can't be everywhere. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have.

Here is how you can submit photos online:
   • Go to: https://images.memoryebooks.com/login
   • If it does not automatically log you into the site, enter username: 400133925 and password: washington
   • Browse to select the photo(s) you wish to upload.
   • Enter information about the photo and provide contact information in case the staff needs additional information.
   • Click "Save Details".

It's that easy! Submit your photos today! The last day to submit photos is 03/20/2012.

Thank you, and enjoy the rest of the school year!

Sincerely,
Yearbook Adviser and the 2012 Yearbook Staff.

The Yearbook Staff will review all photos and determine final yearbook content. We cannot guarantee that all submissions can be used in the book. Memory Book Company • 3131 West Main Street

Dear Washington Elementary Families

IMPORTANT:No student should arrive before 8:10a.m. There is no supervision on the yard until that time.  Students eating breakfast at school should go directly to the multipurpose room and will remain there until 8:10a.m. When supervision begins on the yard.

School Breakfast and Lunch

IMPORTANT:Applications for free and reduced meals will be sent home on the first day of school. Please apply, even if you don’t think you’ll qualify or you’re unsure if your child will use the program.  Families who received free or reduced meals last year will continue at their 2010-11 level of payment until September 30: they must file a new application before that time.

• Menus change each month. They are posted in the school office and online at www.alameda.k12.ca.us for the month. You can also prepay for lunch/breakfast credits online or through our food service staff in the cafeteria.
• If you send food from home, label all lunch boxes and bags with your child’s name and room number.
• If your child forgets a lunch, you can deliver it to the school office and they will pick-it-up during their lunch period. Please do not bring the lunch to the classroom or cafeteria.

Getting to School:  I encourage families and students to walk to school whenever possible.  If you drive your child to school there are two drop off areas:  Santa Clara Street by the play structure and on Taylor Street by the front doors of the school. SAFETY FIRST! Please do not double park or block the driveway of neighbor’s

Congratulations to our 2011 Teacher of the Year — Ms. Liza Young!

Our very own Ms. Young was awarded the 2011 Alameda Teacher of the Year!  “Liza is an enthusiastic and creative teacher that makes a lasting impact on students’ lives.” Judy Goodwin, principal at Washington Elementary School, states, “When I visit Liza’s room and ask a student what they are working on they know the task, why they are learning it and how it links to the standards. Liza has created this instructional environment through a great deal of work and planning. However, when you watch her teach, it is with an ease and clarity well beyond her professional years.”
