ODE Early Learning Grants

I am pleased to announce that the Ohio Department of Education has awarded our program an additional 5 Early Learning Grant slots.  If you know a family seeking a quality PK experience for a qualified 4 year old, please let us know!

Please remember to enter through the main entrance if you are arriving with your child after 7:45 AM in the morning.  The EXT DAY entrance will not admit students after this time.



School Cancellations and Delays

OHIO ALERT has discontinued services for certain school systems. As of December 31st, 2017, we will no longer use OHIO ALERT. Please sign up for Remind instead.

1. Look for "Washington Local" delays or closings on the news or via news station alerts.  
2.. Sign up for  Remind to have alerts sent to you via text or email about delays/closings,          event  reminders like picture day, field trips, special activities etc.
3.. Check FB for updates

Please note that while we would love to accommodate "make up days" for days off due to illness, vacation, holiday, teacher work days, snow days and other days off, we are unable to do so.  We must maintain ratios and our student rosters that we have for every moment that your child is in school.

If you need to add a day due to a family circumstance, please call the office.  Added days are $25 per full day/ $15 per half day.

There will be times during the year when all students will be invited to attend school for parties, field trips and other events.  More information on special occasions will be coming soon.

Fill the TruckTextile Drive - October 7, 2017 Are you organizing your closets, cleaning out drawers, reorganizing that storage space and have textiles you no longer need or want? Bag up your items and donate to the Rosary Altar Easter Seal Textile drive. Don't want to wait until October 7th to get the bags out of the house, no worries we have a storage space. Just give Joan a call at 419-726-0780 for early drop off. Tell your neighbor, friends, co-workers. Every item will help. The items are weighed and we earn $ per pound.
