Our second annual Student vs Staff Flag Football game was a hit this Friday! Although the staff team won by one touchdown in the last 5 minutes of the game, we had a blast on the field cheering for our teams. 5th Grade students worked diligently the days leading up to the game as a news crew, mascot team, football team, pep band, student section, and spirit squad. We are so proud of their hard work and school spirit!

Good afternoon,
We were all heartbroken when we learned that Cameron Craig had lost his life in the line of duty as a local Firefighter. The services to honor his sacrifice will occur on Wednesday afternoon and the procession will have a tremendous impact on traffic in our community. In order to honor Cameron's ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that our buses and car traffic do not interfere with the procession, all Washington County Public Schools will dismiss 2 hours early on Wednesday, October 25. Childcare will be available at all middle and elementary schools for working families who need that service. Each school will provide individual details prior to Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding. We know you join us in loving, supporting, and praying for everyone involved.
Thank you,
Keith Perrigan, Ed.D.
