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.
- 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.
- 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.
