Welcome Back Letter from Mrs. Carlson "Hey Tigers,      I’m so excited to be starting back here for my 3rd year at Washington County. I’m ready for kids to be back in the building and for the semester to start rolling. Back to School Night and Meet the Tigers will be here before we know it.   There are going to be some changes this year that I know will require our students and families to adapt. Change is always difficult but change is also necessary. With the new state law banning cell phones and other electronic devices, we have updated our expectations and consequences. Open Lunch is now for all Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors in good standing, and this year we will see a Valedictorian and Salutatorian at graduation.   Additionally, this year, we are going to work with students to start taking responsibility for their attendance. We know that employers want to hire individuals who are consistent, reliable and professional and that starts with our youngest employable citizens. We maintain that one of our main priorties is preparing our students for success after high school.   Each new school year is an opportunity for our students to carve a new path for themselves and I believe our amazing staff members are here to help support these students along their way. With good communication and respectful cooperation we, as a community, can improve the educational experience and lives of these students.   Let’s Do This!!

Activity Dates for the month of August
Due to recent Kansas law, school districts and educators must limit social media to one-way communication with students. Since we can't always know if we're communicating with a student, we are no longer able to respond to direct messages or comment-based conversations on our social media pages.

It's important to us to provide support when needed. Please contact your student's school if you need assistance. (785) 325-2261

Day one of Band Camp went well. Less photos were taken than should have happened, but oh the memories. Skills were introduced, leaders stepped out and newbies showed up and looked like pros. This year is going to be exciting. Day one theme was Country vs Country Club. Winners for the best dressed were Kane - Country and Olivia and Greyson for Country Club. Color Tag proved to be a band favorite and so we got some pretty good cardio in. 2nd photo has our winners. Day Two is set up for great success and praying the rain stays away.

Junior High Football Camp Update Due to several of our players still competing in postseason baseball and the county fair taking place this week, we have canceled our football camp that was originally scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We are currently discussing whether to reschedule the camp for a later date or cancel it altogether. We will let everyone know as soon as a decision has been made. Thank you for your understanding, and good luck to all of our boys still competing!
