Dear Family & Friends!
You may have already heard from us about our Domino’s fundraiser, but this is our FINAL CHANCE to support Washington Middle School!
Please help us raise money for PBIS, student incentives, and teacher appreciation. A $20 Domino’s Slice the Price Card gives you BOGO Domino’s pizza through 06/30/2027, while helping our school!
If you haven’t supported us yet, we would truly appreciate it. Every card helps us get closer to our goal!

Thank you so much for supporting Washington Middle School! ❤️
All students will need to be dropped off at the Scout Cabin Loop or on Adams Street. Students will enter through the East Side Cafeteria Door just like our normal school drop-off routine.
The doors will not open until 5pm. Students will pay upon entering the dance and the dance will be held on the WMS playground.
Dance Pick up will be a little bit different this year. All 5th grade students along with any older siblings, will be picked up in the West Side Teacher Parking Lot. Please pull up for pick up by the red poles next to the playground creating a pick up line. We will have all 5th grade students at the playground pavilion and will dismiss students through the car line created.
All 6-8 graders will be picked up in the Scout Cabin Loop or in the parking near the Pavillion by Adams Street. Please make sure to park on the left and leave the right car line open just like our normal pick-up procedures.
I have attached a map to help show the drop off and pick-up procedures for the dance tonight.
Remember if your student did not meet the following criteria, they will not be permitted to enter the dance: No failing grades, No ACRs, In School Suspensions, or Out of School Suspensions, and must be in attendance for at least half a day today.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.

5th grade students met with their 8th grade WEB Leaders during flex time at the end of the day on Friday. They completed some activities emphasizing the importance of focus and attention in the classroom—specifically about drowning out distractions and learning not to become a distraction themselves.
WEB stands for “Where Everyone Belongs,” and it is a middle school transition and leadership program that pairs 8th grade student leaders with 5th grade students to help them feel welcomed, connected, and supported throughout the school year.
