Dear Washington District Students, Families, and Community Members,

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year and look forward to making this the best it can possibly be! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, I want you to know how valued and important you are to our school community. Our team has been working hard to prepare for a successful year ahead, and we can’t wait to see our school filled with the energy, excitement, and joy that our students bring.

Let’s get ready to learn, grow, and make this the best year yet. All students are encouraged to:

Be Present – Show up each day ready to learn and give your best.
Be Prepared – Come to school with the tools, mindset, and responsibility needed for success.
Be Excellent – Treat others with kindness, make good choices, and strive to be your best self.

Working together as partners is the key to ensuring the success of every child. We encourage open communication between school and home, and encourage you to stay connected throughout the year. Don’t forget to:

Use the Canvas app to send/receive messages and updates from your student's teachers, check your student's grades, and view class news and assignments.
Visit our school website regularly for important announcements, calendars, and event details.
Check daily folders for information.

We look forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning, laughter, and growth. Thank you for being an important part of our school family.

Let’s make it a great year—together!

Sincerely,

Kayla D. Yocum

Principal, Washington District Elementary School
