Welcome to the last week of school. Keep attending every day this week to meet your attendance goal and to experience all of the great things happening at your school this week!

Washington High School Youth Soccer Camp, June 2-5. See flyer below for details!


The 4th quarter of a basketball game can be critical to a team winning a game. Schools, students, and families can be on the same “school team” and can “win” the 4th quarter of the school year by working together for positive student school attendance every day, through the last day of school on May 30th.

Cheer Informational Meeting and Condition is just around the corner!



Summer Break is approaching quickly but it is not here yet. There are 3 weeks of school remaining and the next 3 weeks are very important to keeping your grades high. Keep attending school every day to have your best finish to the school year.


The month of May can seem like a month-long sprint as you run to the school year finish line on May 30th. You can stay in front of your grades and win the race by attending school every day during this month.

Students who miss 18 or more days of absences during this school year are chronically absent. Strive to keep the total number of absences under 18 this school year to avoid chronic absenteeism. Attend school every day, all day you can.


The month of May is here! While May is the last month of the school year, it is just as important now to have regular school attendance as it is at the beginning of the school year. Your school will be doing exciting things and important learning will take place every day right through the very last day of school.

The end of the school year is quickly approaching. Lock-in now to attend school every day for the rest of the school year to have your best possible finish to school.


If you have questions about school absences, you can always contact the school attendance administrator or the Board of Education Attendance Office for help. Reach out for help before absences become an issue, and make sure you are in school all day, every day.

Welcome back from Spring Break! There are only 6 weeks of the 2024-2025 school year remaining. Be sure to attend school all day, every day through the last day of school to have a fantastic end to your school year.
