Welcome to Washington-Hoyt!
We are so glad you are joining us! We think it is a great place to be for both the kids and the parents! To help get settled, we wanted to share a few tips with you:

• Washington-Hoyt has a Uniform Policy but every Friday, it's free dress! Later in the school year, the ASB chooses "Theme Days" which are always lots of fun!
• To volunteer at the school it is mandatory to complete the Parent Volunteer Form and turn it into the Main Office. Bring your Driver's License with you!
• When we say "Washington" we're referring to the big school where the Main Office is located. Hoyt, or "the little school", is located a block away on the corner of Union and N. 27th Street. Hoyt houses Kindergarten, one First Grade class and the Champions program.
• Sign up for the e-Bulletin, by emailing the PTA, to get the latest emailed news alerts from the PTA.
• Please come to the PTA Meetings every month. We want you to be there - all parents are welcome whether you are a member or not!
• We often refer to that very large room in the Washington building where many of our school functions are held as the lunchroom...the auditorium...the gymnasium...the cafeteria etc.
• Washington-Hoyt does not have an after school sports program. If you are interested in having your student participate in sports, there are many options available here in the Tacoma area. We've listed links to a few of them on the Sports and Recreation Links page. A lot of times, parents will coordinate with each other to form Wa-Hoyt teams.
• The Cougar is the Washington-Hoyt Mascot!
• Drop-Off and Pick-Up
• Children should be dropped off in the morning no earlier than 8:45AM. Supervision is provided up at Washington, but currently not at Hoyt during this time.
• 8:55 AM First bell rings and teachers bring the students in the buildings.
• 9:00 AM Second Bell rings and students should be in their seats.
• 3:30 PM Students are released. Parents need to be on the playground to pick up their child unless other arrangements have been made with the teacher.
