ADJUSTED START/DISMISSAL TIMES FOR SCHOOLS FOR THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR
In an effort to respond to the pending budget realities and to cut costs throughout the district, the Omaha Public Schools’ Board of Education and administrative staff have determined that it is necessary to “pair” bus routes, so that the same buses that pick up secondary students early in the morning (or at dismissal) will be available to pick up elementary students shortly thereafter. This method amounts to a cost reduction for the district and will also affect school start and dismissal times next school year. As always, thank you for your continued support as we strive to offer the best possible educational services in these difficult financial times.
Start and dismissal times for the 2011- 12 school year are:
Start Dismissal
High School: 7:40 a.m. 2:45 p.m.
Middle School: 7:40 a.m. 2:40 p.m.
Elementary: 9:05 a.m. 3:55 p.m.
Welcome to Washington Elementary

Our dedicated professional staff work hand-in-hand with our students and parents to achieve a safe, respectful, and responsible learning environment. We believe we are partners in maintaining high academic standards and recognizing the uniqueness of the individual.
Washington's PTO is very involved and active! We have wonderful activities and family events planned for the year. Look for these in the Washington World, published once a month.
