Dear Washington Elementary Families,

Welcome back to a brand-new school year at Washington Elementary School! We are excited to see our students’ smiling faces return and to welcome new families into our school community. Our teachers and staff have been preparing engaging lessons and activities to make this year a positive, safe, and successful experience for every child.

We believe a strong partnership between home and school helps children thrive. Here are a few tips to help support your student as they transition back to school:

Establish a consistent routine. Set regular bedtimes, wake-up times, and homework times to help your child feel secure and ready to learn.

Create a quiet homework space. A calm, organized spot helps your child focus on assignments and build good study habits.

Encourage open communication. Ask your child about their day—what they learned, who they played with, and how they’re feeling.

Stay connected with school. Check weekly newsletters, teacher emails, and the school website for updates. Attend events and conferences when possible.

Model a positive attitude about school. Your enthusiasm sets the tone and helps your child feel confident and excited to learn.

Promote healthy habits. Nutritious meals, plenty of sleep, and daily physical activity support learning and well-being.

We are honored to partner with you in your child’s education. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or our main office at [336)370-8290.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s growth and learning. Together, we can make this a wonderful year!
