Washington School

Description

Washington Elementary is a Title 1 School on the south end of Davis County. Washington’s students come from three different geographic neighborhoods, yet Washington’s school is united in the pursuit of academic excellence. Washington has a diverse population, which brings a cultural panache to the school community. Washington Elementary offers a before and after school program, extended day kindergarten, and provides free lunch all summer long for children in the entire south end of the district. Most summer days, Washington Elementary serves over 300 children.

The faculty at Washington is one of the most dedicated and skilled faculties in the district. Washington is focused on reading. Every program at Washington focuses on reading proficiency. Every class reads each day with teachers, community volunteers, PTA, and Title 1 tutors. If you walk into any classroom or hallway you will see students with their heads buried deep in their books. A literacy committee made up of teachers and PTA volunteers meets to discuss, learn, and plan reading interventions. Under the leadership of our reading coach and math coach, every teacher, tutor and community volunteer has been trained with research based strategies and practices.
