Parents:
Washburne teachers are looking forward to our upcoming Parent Conferences. Parents are reminded that we ask students to be present during our Fall conferences. As students continue through school their participation in these conversations is important. Just as students are actively involved in the classroom with their learning, their involvement with discussions of their growth and achievement are equally important. Goal-setting and self-advocacy are important skills that our students learn through their involvement in this process. We look forward to meeting with you and your child as we discuss their success at Washburne.

Grand Food Receipts
Please remember to bring in your Grand Food Center receipts that you saved over the summer. Collecting Grand receipts is an easy and no-cost way for you to support the Skokie-Washburne PTO (so ultimately our schools!). Just collect and drop off your Grand receipts in the colorfully wrapped boxes labeled "Grand receipts" located in Washburne's office and Skokie's lobby. In fact, your 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grader can easily get involved in the process and drop off the receipts themselves. The Grand generously donates 3% of the pre-tax amount to the PTO on each receipt collected from their Winnetka or Glencoe stores.
