Parents and Guardians,
Everyday after school, we have buses calling in to say that parents are not home when the buses arrive. Many times, we are unable to reach a parent when we call to see why there is not a parent at home. PLEASE be at home and visible to the bus drivers when you know your child will be arriving home. These incidents cause issues for the bus drivers and for the school staff that has to stay late when the children are brought back to school. The same goes for after school pick-up; it is a common occurrrence for students to be waiting until 4:00 for parent pick-up. We need your help to make sure our kids get home safe and on time.
Thank you.
Parents of morning drop-off students:
The morning drop-off door (Door 9) will close at 8:25. If the door is closed, PLEASE do not drop off your children and leave. You are responsible for bringing your child to the front entrance to be checked in there. Students are to be in their classrooms by 8:30, and are counted as late at 8:31 or after.
Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation!

Due to power outages and poor road conditions, all Washington-Nile Local Schools will be operating on a TWO-HOUR DELAY for Monday, September 30, 2024.
PWES parents and guardians:
Our school has suffered a tragic loss this weekend, and we understand that our community is hurting. We will have counselors available at the elementary building Tuesday and Wednesday for any student, teacher or community member who may need their services. Teachers will NOT be discussing the situation with their class-but will refer children to counselors as needed. The Senator family always comes together in times like these.. we need each other.
The district will be collecting donations for the family if you would like to contribute.
