Hello,
Although there is rarely a list of specific school supplies for our Junior High & High School students, I've reached out to my teachers to see what students would need for this upcoming school year.

Algebra 1 & Geometry students need a scientific calculator (with a fraction key)
For Mr. Kearn (Math & Geography)
7th & 8th Grade students need a protractor, adult scissors, & colored pencils
For Ms. Hasker (English)
7th graders need a 3-subject college ruled notebook.
9th & 11th graders need a 1-subject college ruled notebook.
For Ms. Savage (Science)
7th & 8th grade science students need a notebook and a pocket folder.
For Ms. McCall (Science)
9th & 10th graders need a 1-subject college ruled notebook.
For Ms. Sawin (Band)

Each student needs a sketchbook. It must be the size of a sheet of paper (8.5" x 11" or 9"x12"). A used sketchbook is fine but the book must have at least 35 pages in it.
* Please bring your sketchbook to class with your name on it.
Some general supplies to have:
Writing utensils (pencils, pens, & highlighters)
Eraser(s)
A notebook for each class or a binder with divider tabs & paper
Notecards are great for creating study materials
We know, depending on how many students you're buying for, these supplies start to add up. If you are unable to provide some of these items, please don't worry. We will make sure that your student is successful while they are here in our building.
Like always, call the school office if you have any questions or concerns, 785-325-2261.

Hello I’m Jennifer Willbrant. For the past 18 years I’ve been blessed to be able to be home with my four kids Carly, Kileab, Gatlin, and Rylan! My husband David and I own and operate a trucking company. In my free time, I enjoy camping, boating, crafting, reading, and anything that my kids are involved in. I am very excited to start my new journey as a special ed paraeducator with the Tiger family!
WCHS students - there are 21 parts in this year's play - plenty for everyone - so try out!! Come find out more about it on Friday, August 16 at 3:20 in the Art Room. Have questions - contact etoole@usd108.org.
My name is Jenny Joonas. I officially earned my degree after I turned 50 through the Wichita State TAP (Teacher Apprentice Program). I live in Linn and will drive to Washington to work with USD 108 preschool through 1st grade students. I am blessed to have been in a school system for over 26 years including being a para for 14 years, Parents as Teachers coordinator for 8 years, preschool special education teacher for 2 years, and finally the last two years as a special education teacher for K-6 students at Riley.
My husband and I will celebrate 32 years of marriage in August. I have 4 grown sons Bryce, 32; twins Bailey & Blaine who will turn 30 this year, and a bonus son who was our foreign exchange student when he was 18 and is now 31! We also have two wonderful daughters-in-law and an amazing 8-week-old grandson, Mason James Joonas, who we just got to meet for the first time two weeks ago.
I enjoy having dinner with friends, spending time with my family, and now being Grandma Jenny!
Students, Parents, & Community Members
I am so excited to be joining you in Washington County for the 2024-2025 school year. Here you will find a newsletter introducing myself and some new teachers you can expect to see this year. We are only 1 week away from our Back to School Night!
August can be both an exciting and scary time for some people with lots of activities and transitions. Take each day as it comes and reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns
Again, I can't wait to meet all of you and start the school year #TigerStrong.
Please feel free to email me: jcarlson@usd108.org or call the school at 785-325-2261.
See you all very soon,

Jr. High and High School art students need to have a sketchbook for class. This is for those in 7th grade art, Intro to Drawing, and Comprehensive Art. It must be the size of a regular sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 or 9 x 12), have no lines on the pages, and have at least 35 sheets of paper in it. Smaller ones will not work - sorry. A used one is fine as long as it has enough sheets. I recommend a left side spiral bound as they seem to hold together better. Walmart carries them in stock or they are found online in most stores. Please come to class with your name on your sketchbook. If you have questions, email the art teacher at etoole@usd108.org. See you in the art room!
Hello! My name is Rayna Shaw and I am going to be the MTSS Aide this year. I graduated from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in May. I spend most of my free time with my family, tending to my gardens, going to the lake, and playing with my cat Kona and dog Mac. I’m looking forward to starting the new school year and getting to meet everyone!
