· Families are welcome to join us for morning

opening on the yard. Please remember, the instructional day starts with morning opening.  Your child is late if they are not in line by the time I start talking.

· Cell Phones at School –If your child must bring a cell phone to school, it must be turned off and put away during the instructional day. The school will not be responsible for any cell phones lost or taken at school.  I strongly encourage families to not send a cell phone to school with their child.

· Dress Code –Students must wear shoes to   school that protect their toes and have a back heel strap. 

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

I hope many of you will be able to join us Saturday,
June 2nd to celebrate Washington School. While
there is much excitement about the new AUSD
magnet school, it is still hard to see one school

Room 1 worked on a Science Fair
project. We grew mold with the help of
Cole’s mom and Leo’s mom. Unfortunately
the mold didn’t grow until the
week following the Fair but we had fun
examining the fruit everyday and then
looking at the mold with magnifying
glasses. We are wrapping up our 5
Senses unit by making a book. In
math we continue to work on addition,
subtraction and place value. We
continue to work on reading and
writing to get ready for 1st grade.

Get involved! Join the PTA! 

The next PTA meeting will be on Thursday, Dec. 1st. from 7:00pm - 8:00pm. Childcare is provided.
