Student Leaders Improve Recess
Soccer Play at Washington!
The goal posts on our field have brought many more kids
out to play "casual" soccer games at lunch recess. The
games have lately become too informal, as was pointed
out by 5th graders Bahia Zarate, Keelin Rice and Olivia
Interiano, center of photo with lanyard whistles.
Driven by their initiative, their suggestions and a donation of
colored pinnies, Keelin has stepped up to be our head
referee, with Bahia and Olivia supporting her as linemen. Our
games are now organized, officiated properly and more funl!
Accomplished soccer players themselves, these girls have
brought leadership, order and safety to our playground. I'm
proud of them and their work that is improving our school!

Increasing Student Achievement!
Washington Gains 19 Points and
Reaches 900 API for 2012!

For the second year in a row, Washington makes
double-digit growth on the California API to reach our
highest level ever. What's our secret? An amazing
teaching staff, a supportive community & serious
students who are ready to learn. We also put resources
and opportunities in the hands of students. After-
school science enrichment classes, above, is one
example. Music, art and instructional
interventions that target individual student
needs are others. In our community, student
success is inevitable! Thank you all!

Smooth Opening to a Brand-New Year
at Your Washington School!!
It was quite a challenge getting upwards of 500
eager students onto campus with construction
and parking issues. It all worked and worked
as well as it did because our staff was ready as
they always are. You, parents, helped
us enormously by being patient, safe and
allowing more time to park and walk onto
campus! Thank you!!! Thank you most of all
for entrusting us with your children! Thank
you for choosing Washington School!
Welcome to our community!
