Wednesday, October 14 & Thursday, October 15, 2020

7th and 8th grade students, you have received an email link to sign up for wrestling and girls’ basketball. The plan is to start practices the week of October 26 and competitions for both sports would start the week of November 16. The seasons would conclude on December 18th. Students will attend practice on their in-person learning day, and online students would be assigned a day for their practice.

Similar to the school day, we will be implementing health and safety guidelines during our sports seasons to include:

· Social distancing when possible

· Wearing masks during identified times

· Washing and sanitizing hands frequently

 

All students need to have a complete physical packet on file at school before they can participate in any sports. Packets can be turned into the main office at any time during the school year. Sports physicals are valid for 13 months from the date of the examination; however, the health intake and concussion forms must be completed each school year. Packets are available in the main office or can be found online under the ATHLETICS tab on the Washington homepage.

 

Students who had their physicals signed on or after July 1, 2019 have received a one-time extension making them valid through December 31, 2020. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Hefel at ehefel@dbqschools.org  

 

Happy birthday to Sergio Jones-Weeks on Wednesday and to Jaylynn Lambert and Klaira Winger on Thursday!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second-most common cancer overall.  Wearing pink in October reminds our loved ones to be vigilant about screening for breast cancer and raises awareness on a topic that is not going away, so we are just going to make this day all about the color pink!

 

Here’s a friendly reminder that you must wear your picture ID above the waist every day!  If you do not have it, you must get a sticker from your first period teacher.  Also if you are going to be absent or late, make sure to have a parent call the attendance office as soon as possible!

 

Also, be sure to check in on Infinite Campus each day of virtual learning at home. Either you or your parent can do this on a computer or through the Infinite Campus app on your smart phone.

 

Be sure to take advantage of LEAP homework help. Every Monday through Friday from 2:35-4:00pm, students should meet in the south cafeteria to sign in and get a quick snack provided by LEAP. This year Mrs. Rothert will work with 6th graders and Mr. Murphy with 7th and 8th graders.  Space is limited to 9 students per classroom. 

 

This week is National School Lunch week and we want to give a shout out to our cafeteria staff as they provide us with delicious and healthy lunch options every day! Make sure to thank them!

 

Happy birthday to Liam Chesher, Christyanna Scott, and Catharine Ruden on Monday and on Tuesday to  Ashlynn Thein!
