Washington Grade School District #52

Principal Appreciation Week!
This week, we proudly celebrate the incredible leadership, dedication, and integrity of our school leaders: Mrs. Bowman, Mr. Lawson, Mrs. Arnold, and Mrs. McMullen! Each day, they go above and beyond to support students, staff, and families building a positive school culture, inspiring academic success, and leading with compassion and purpose. Thank you for the countless hours, the wise guidance, and the unwavering commitment you show our schools. You make a difference every single day, and we are truly grateful for each of you!

Next week, we recognize National School Bus Safety Week, a time to highlight the importance of safe transportation and to celebrate the amazing individuals who get our students to and from school safely each day.
A huge THANK YOU to our outstanding bus drivers:
Mr. Browning, Mr. Copley, Mr. Corbitt, Mr. Dreyer, Mrs. Loete, Mr. Rushing, Mr. Spillman, and Mr. Tinervin. Your early mornings, careful driving, friendly smiles, and steady presence mean the world to our students, families, and staff. You are truly the first and last faces of the school day and we appreciate everything you do to keep our kids safe on the road!
Let’s give our drivers a big round of applause!

Yesterday we held our New Teacher Orientation for our seven new teachers at LGS and WMS this school year. We look forward to seeing the great things they do in D52!
