In order for students to do well in school, attendance is essential. When a student is absent, they must, upon return to school bring a written excuse signed by the parent/guardian with proper dates and reason for the absence. These excuses will be presented to the teacher on the morning of the students' return. Be sure to read the attendance policy adopted by the board of education.
Lawful absences include:
Illness or injury of the student
Quarantine by local health office
Death in the immediate family
Medical or dental appointments
Court Proceedings
Religious observance (approved by the school system)
Educational opportunities or trips (must have prior approval of principal)
Students should not arrive at school before 7:50am. If it is absolutely necessary then students arriving between 7:30am and 7:50am should report to the gym. Students will remain there until they are dismissed to go to their classrooms at 7:50am. (If you are interested in before or after school care for your child, please contact Catherine Price at 704-484-2710.)
If students are tardy (arriving later than 8:10am) they must be walked in the front entrance of the school building and signed-in at the front office by the individual bringing them to school. All students must come in the front entrance of the building to get a pass for entrance into their classroom.
Visitors are welcome and encouraged to visit Washington Elementary School. When visiting the school come to the office to sign in and receive a visitor's badge. This procedure must be followed when you visit the school for any reason. Persons failing to follow this procedure will be asked to identify themselves and return to the office area. All visitors should enter the building by the front doors.
Medication that needs to be administered at school will be kept in the school office. A school medication form with the name of medication, correct dosage, time to be given, parents signature, and doctor signature will need to accompany the medication. Please do not ask your child to keep the medicine in their book bag, or classroom, but to please bring it to the office. Medicines are safe when administered as directed for the patient; however, they can be harmful if taken too often or by the wrong person. All medication is kept in a secured area.
Breakfast and lunch are seved daily in the cafeteria. Parents are encouraged to have lunch with their children. Please send money on Mondays. Make checks payable to Washington School. The money will be placed in your child's meal account. It can carry over from week to week and year to year. You may put any amount of money on the meal account at anytime.

Students are not allowed to bring toys or games to school. This practice often results in disruptions on the buses or in the classrooms and the loss or destruction of the items. Any toys or games that students bring will be taken from the student, and placed in the principal's office until a parent/guardian picks them up.
Our school has an active Parent/Teacher Organization. It provides services for our students and school that otherwise would not be available. The group meets periodically throughout the school year and works closely with the school principal. You, as parents, are encouraged to become a participant in the good things happening at our school. Contact any member of our school family for more information. Below you will see a playground which is the result of a PTO fund raiser. Another fundraiser helped to provide a school sign/marquee at the front of the building to announce important events. We welcome you to come and be a part of P.T.O.
