Washington County Schools

Influenza A is in our state, community and school currently. KDHE requires students and staff that have been diagnosed with influenza A or B to remain at home for 5 days or 72 hours fever free without medication, whichever is longer. We have also seen strep throat, ear infections, coughing, allergies, and the common cold. Please let me know if I can help with any questions or concerns, or contact your primary care provider.

On Friday, a fifth grade group of girls performed their service project. They planned and implemented a Walk-a-thon/Run-a-thon for KSDS. This group raised $186 and many dog toys for KSDS. It was a very successful first time event.

Anatomy and Physiology students tested their vision for blind spots and depth perception in class today.

Students investigated the water cycle in Earth Science today.

WCHS boys fall to Solomon last night 3-3-22. WCHS 39 Solomon 58 Nobody wants to undertake a 4-17 season. But if I were to do it, I am glad it was with this group. Not once did I see arguing, pointing fingers, heads hung, or a "give up attitude". The continuous effort and desire to develop as a team and as individuals on a daily basis truly amazed me. I couldn't be more proud of this group. As much as everyone loves to win, and expects wins out of their season, sometimes the growth outside of winning is one heck of a lesson to learn. I truly loved coaching this group. Hunter, Cody, Mason, and Coy. My four seniors that will be missed beyond words. All were leaders all all times of the year. This group couldn't have kept the level head they kept all year long without these 4 individuals. Thank you to you four for working so hard for me for 4 years. You will all reach great potential in years to come!

#3 WCHS Girls take on #2 Mankato Girls tonight 3-4-22! Come out and support! Go Tigers!

This group of 5th grade students chose the center island on C Street in Washington as their service project. Caroline, employee for the city, was very impressed with how hard they worked.

As a service project, this 5th grade group of students chose to clean up Munchkinland. They cleaned up so much that they filled the city truck twice with trash bags.

This 4th grade group chose to clean up the south side of the Washington Park as their service project. They worked hard and had tons of sticks piled by the end of their time.

These 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students enjoyed their March birthday lunch.
