Student Support at Washington
If you are struggling with your classes, there are many ways to get additional help at Washington. Please understand that your teacher is the best person to first reach out to, whether that is an e-mail, simply asking a question in class, or of course stopping by his/her class before or after school. However, there are many other opportunities to get the academic help you need. Please take some time to look at the sites below, and then take the next step to participate in the help being offered!
