A bit Wildcat shoutout to Investigator Turner with the North Platte Police Department for joining some of our students during lunch yesterday. They LOVED having time with him! Turner was a Washington Wildcat in his day and so were his children. Once a Wildcat, ALWAYS a Wildcat! #WildcatEra #WashingtonOhana #NPPDNPPSDFamily

Dear Washington Parents & Guardians,

As the seasons change and the weather gets colder, we want to ensure all our students stay warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the school day!
Here are a few reminders to keep in mind as you help your child get ready for school:

Layering is Key: Dressing your child in layers allows them to adjust easily as temperatures rise and fall between morning drop-off, warm classrooms, outdoor play, and afternoon temperatures.

Dress for the Day: Check the day's forecast, including wind and afternoon temperatures, rather than just the morning temperature.

Cold-Weather Essentials: Please send your child with a warm jacket, hat, and gloves or mittens on chilly days, along with sturdy, closed-toe footwear.

Label Outerwear: As layers come off during the day, items often get misplaced. Please write your child’s name on jackets, sweaters, gloves, and hats so we can easily return lost items!

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school community safe and warm! Please reach out if you need assistance obtaining cold-weather gear for your student.

Washington had a successful Red Ribbon Week! PLEASE if you have a kinder-2nd grader. Ask them what thy learned about drugs AND what three things they look for to know if something is safe or not. If you have a 3rd-5th grader, ask them about their natural highs and what that means!! We had fun and learned a ton about how to handle difficult times in life and thrive with healthy lifestyles! We are so proud of our Wildcats! Here are a few photos shared with me throughout the week for dress-up days. As always, please share your own photos!! #LivingDrugFree #ChasingGoalsLikeChamps #RedRibbonWeek #NaturalHighs #SafeWithMedicine
